Teddy and Leo's Page: Where did March go?

Well, I am obviously behind on the blog! Between being busy and having some technical difficulties uploading pictures, the month of March flew by with out any more updates. Teddy has taken off walking and he is definitely keeping me on my toes. We had a great month though, and here are a few of the highlights.

For St. Patrick's Day we went to a "clover hunt" in the park in our neighborhood. It was a beautiful day and we had lots of fun. Teddy enjoyed hanging out by the food:

While he didn't find any clovers- Teddy did like the yellow flowers:

And Teddy seems to like "finding" other things as well. When I was putting a few things away in the nursery, Teddy "found" the pack of disposable diapers:

After meals, he likes to "find" all kinds of goodies in his highchair:

And here is a picture of what I found when I returned from going to the bathroom one day:

Teddy "found" and unzipped my backpack, through the gate, and took out his snacks. He then proceeded to dump them all over the floor so he could eat them off of it. Guess he was ready for snack! Seems he can't keep his hands off anything, including my water bottle:

We decided to get a zoo membership this year, so we headed down to the zoo with our friends Jen and Vanley. Here are the boys ready for the drive:

Teddy and Vanley check out the bears:

While Teddy has been growing like a weed- so has his hair! I know it is time for his first haircut, and we will get it soon.... I'm just not quite ready yet! Check out his hair wet:

Speaking of hair... you know what they say about a mullet... Business up front:

PARTY in the back:

Teddy is so much fun as his personality is coming out. He cracks me up. One day as we were playing with the ball, I would throw it, and he would bring it back to me. In my head I was thinking I am just going to have to accept that he is all boy and may love all sports. But as he was walking back to me with the ball, all of the sudden he put the ball to his ear and said, "Hello, hello, hello"

I laughed so hard! I just love that little boy... and his daddy too:

Here Teddy rides on the infamous cow at my parents' house:

We have always made pizza on Fridays but I recently decided to start trying to make calzones as well. They are really pretty easy and are SO yummy! Here's a shot of our calzone night:

Yes- we are all wearing flannel. Because what goes better with Friday night calzones than family flannel night?

The weather this month has been all over the place, but we've been playing outside every change we get. Here Teddy and Shae traded sunglasses while playing outside:

And playing outside makes for a dirty little boy! After bath though he smells so good:

For St. Patrick's Day, we decided to have some festive food. Shae made cabbage and potatoes and suggested I make some irish soda bread. Here's my attempt before cooking:

and after:

I wish I could tell you that it tasted as good as it looked. But if I said that, I would be lying. It was SO gross! The only way Shae was able to eat it was by loading it with a bunch of honey, peanut butter, or even frosting! Oh well, I tried. Teddy got into the holiday spirit though. And his message was, "Don't just wear green, GO green":

We were so excited to go to the Macedonia Elementary School production of The Wizard of Oz this year. They did SUCH an amazing job and we were able to clap for our favorite little munchin and dancing poppy:

I found another "treasure" at a consignment sale a few weeks ago. I got this great backpack to carry Teddy in for only $10. We've already enjoyed using it several times and Teddy seems to really like the view:

Family picnic time by the river:

Teddy was very happy with all of the tennis balls we found by the courts:

Teddy says, "Hey, can somebody let me outta here?"

Last week I babysat for a neighbor and Teddy had a great time playing with the boys. I even got to try out her new double stroller as I walked all three boys to playgroup:
