Busy Boys!

I thought life was busy before, but boy this last week has been really busy. Now that Mom and Teddy are home from the hospital, there have been lots of visitors coming by to see my new baby brother and with the warm weather, there has been lots to do outside.

Dad was home from work on Tuesday and we spent most of the day relaxing at home. Later in the day, we decided to take a ride and surprise Grandma Peterson by stopping by her house. We ended up staying for dinner, so I ended up taking my afternoon nap there. Grandma set up a pack-n-play in her guest room for me, and I did sleep for a while. But, when Mom came into get me up, she discovered that I had turned the TV on all by myself and was watching a John Wayne movie! I was proud as a pickle that I had done it myself. I guess I might be a western movie lover like my Dad and Grandpa Peters. Teddy is liking things at home. Mom seems to be getting more rest the last couple of nights as Teddy settles in. Everyone says that a lot of his pictures are like "deja vu" since he is wearing a lot of the same outfits as me and doing many of the same cute things. We don't really look alike though. Teddy hair is much lighter than mine was at birth, and where I have a broad chin and big hands, Teddy has a thinner, longer face with very thin, long fingers.
With all the visitors coming on Wednesday, I was helping Daddy do some chores around the house. First, I helped vacuum.
Then it was outside to do some yardwork. I helped Daddy with the wagon.
And even picked up sticks!

Our visitors on Wednesday were my Grandpa Peters, Aunt Michelle and cousins, Cohen and Cooper. Here is a photo of Cooper with Teddy. Cooper is now 5 months old. That means it won't be long before Teddy is his size!

I am looking forward to Teddy getting bigger, because I have so much fun playing with Cooper and trying to get him to laugh and talk to me!

Yesterday was a whole day of visitors!! My Uncle George, Aunt Laurie and cousins, Sarah, Karlie and Jenna all came down to visit. They stayed the whole day at our house and we all went over to Grandma Peterson's for dinner. Grandma Peters and Great-Grandma Young also stopped by. They were all here for lunch. Then, Grandma Jane stopped by too! She isn't really my Grandma, but she is very special and thinks a lot of me and my brother.

Mom and Dad had to keep up with a tradition by putting Teddy into Dad's baseball glove, just like they did with me when I was his age. He is just the right size right now!
