Yoo Hoo! Anyone there?

Hello? Anyone there? I figure you all might have given up on me and stopped checking the blog by now since it has been so long since I last wrote. Sorry about being "gone" for so long. It isn't that I haven't been doing fun things to share with you all, but more than Mom hasn't been taking any photos...and I know you all like to see new photos.

There isn't a lot of new, exciting news besides the fact that Teddy is now "upright". He has figured out how to pull himself up on things, and does a pretty good of staying up (unless I knock him down). This new mobility of his does create some difficulties for me though. Now he is easily getting into my toys, and is just in my way sometimes. It can be frustrating and I admit, I have taken to pushing and hitting him a bit. I'm learning that isn't a good approach though. I didn't quite get it at first, but after spending a lot of time standing in the corner in time-out over the last several weeks, it is finally sinking in. Perhaps some of this is why Mom hasn't had much time to take photos lately :-).

She did get a few photos this week of Teddy and I at the window. We were watching snow fall outside. Can you believe it? Just when I thought Spring was here...

Mom and Dad think I have been saying a lot of cute and funny stuff lately. I do have quite an imagination! Sometimes it leads to fun, other times to mischief. Teddy is learning new things too. He makes lots of sounds, but we still haven't figured out if there have been officially "first words" yet. He does seem to point at things now and say "What's that?" One thing he has mastered is eating big people food. You better not even let him see food unless you are planning to share it with him. He has quite an appetite!!

We are busy preparing for a visit from my Auntie T (my Mom's best friend from college) and Teddy's big 1st birthday party on Saturday, Easter and his official birthday on Sunday....so we are sure to have lots of new photos and stories to share with you after the weekend!
