Catching Up

Fall is already here, Teddy is another month older, and I am behind on this blog! Here are some random pictures of what Teddy has been up to this month. I am also going to post some videos, but they will be in separate posts. It is much easier to upload them through Youtube, but it makes each video a different post. Anyway, Teddy has recently really started enjoying playing with the basketball. He shows very good effort:

Here is a cute picture of Teddy and his friends at the Teddy Bear Picnic:

We celebrated cousin Caroline's 11th birthday on September 12. As always, Teddy loved getting attention from Maggie:

Did I mention Caroline turned 11? She is definitely a pre-teen. We went out to dinner, and she repeatedly said she did not want us to sing to her. Of course we sang anyway....

Above you see the chair where Caroline was sitting until we started singing. I didn't follow her

to the bathroom to continue taking pictures. Luckily, when she returned to the table, she cheered up:

She is starting to look a lot more like her mom these days, isn't she?

Somebody was happy though when he got dessert:

Caroline did really like her bongo drums from Grandma Judy. Everyone had fun playing them:

We had a MOMs club board meeting at our house, but the highlight of the almost 3 hour meeting was when the garbage truck came. All of the kids rushed to watch:

Teddy and his buddy Vanley got to sit in a firetruck when we visited the fire station:

Teddy is still doing really well in his toddler bed (knock on wood) but the other day he would not lay down for his nap until he had both Elmos. So funny:

Teddy helped Shae harvest the rest of the beans from his garden:

We enjoyed one last pool day before the pools closed for the season. The baby pool was a little warmer than the big pool:

At least we can still go out on the lake. Here is Shae on his new inflatable kayak:

We walked down to the lake just to say hi to Shae, but Teddy immediately started saying, "Go in Dadda boat. Go in Dadda boat!" Of course, we couldn't say no that that.

But only on one condition...

... he had to paddle! I think he had fun:

The night before we left for our trip to Canada, Shae's friend Julia came to visit. She got to meet Teddy for the first time, and Teddy found another person to shower him with attention!

He seemed to enjoy it.

Most of the time Teddy will not keep a hat on his head... but occasionally he asks to wear one. When that happens, he keeps it on. Check out his cool Elmo hat:

One of Teddy's favorite things these days are steering wheels. Here he is driving a firetruck at the mall:

When I had a doctor's appointment recently, Aunt "Mir-mo" came to babysit. I know that Teddy had a blast... he keeps saying, "Aunt Mir-mo funny. Ha ha ha." I am pretty sure Aunt Mir-Mo had a blast too! Here they are going down the slide:
