Catching Up

Technical difficulties have stalled my blogging. To make a long, boring story short, Karl had to back up all of our files to another hard drive, wipe this computer clean, and reinstall everything. Not fun. I am back up and running now. I did realize as I started to post that I had to reinstall CS3 and our camera software first. So now I will do my best to catch up before something else distracts me.

These pictures were taken after returning home from Auntie Beth's birthday party. You were so well-behaved. I thought the loud and large crowd would scare you but you were quite the personality. You were crawling up to complete strangers and climbing up their pant legs, flashing your best, aren't I adorable?, smile. I think you are just very comfortable there. You love playing with Sammy ( the dog) and all the attention Auntie Beth and her girls shower on you.





I sometimes wonder where you get the Evil Knievel streak from. I don't think I was that much of a daredevil. You have been scaling the couch for sometime. And now this....

Suddenly all of your toys have become step stools or climbing structures. Actually I have become an obstacle course for you, you love climbing over me when I lay on the floor.

I am not looking forward to the days when you start climbing trees!

Good Morning

Yesterday, We went to the indoor gym at the Y. It was fun to see how differently you played compared to our last visit a couple of months ago.Now, you would much rather play with me and have me by your side. In contrast, the last time we came here you were all about exploring on your own.
Still a daredevil. You tried scaling the sides of the ball-pit. You would have tumbled right in were it not for my protective hover.

You loved exploring the tunnels.
And peeking through their portholes.

You were not interested or able to climb these steps last time.

Wow, look how you've grown.

Recent Videos

Here are a couple of recent videos of Teige. I know it has been over a week but I really am trying to keep this up to date. I spend more time trying to figure out how to post here than I actually do posting. Please bear with me.

This video was taken last Sunday. The tire swing seemed to lull Teige to sleep more than it excited him. We are lucky to have so many great parks near our apartment. We have no trouble finding a place to play.

This video was taken on 9/19. Look at what a daredevil Teige is turning into. He has an adventurus spirit and has a very hands-on approach to problem solving. He is always trying to figure out how things work.

Finally, this video is pretty representative of how Teige pretends to read books. He will do this for about an hour on a good day. These are the days I am able to get supper on the table by the time Karl gets home. Which is not how things have been going lately. This video was taken on 9/12/08.

I hope you have enjoyed the videos. I will continue to try to update this blog more frequently. Of course, this depends on Teiges nap schedule which is when I get some computer time.
