Fast foward three months...

It's been quite a while since I've posted, but I suppose now is better than never!

Tegan is now 10.5 months old. She is 20lbs, and just about 30 inches tall. Her hair is reddish brown, and starting to be very curly in the back and sides. Her eyes are gray with green and gold flecks in the center. She is finally about to get her first tooth. Her favorite foods are yogurt, squash, sweet potatoes, chicken, turkey hot dogs, and any sort of fruit you can imagine. She can drink from a sippy cup and a straw cup.

Tegan can also walk if you hold her hand(s), pull up on things, cruise, and crawl on all fours (she's done these things for the last month or so).

She says, "Tee-tee" (her name), "Kitty", "Duck", "Ball" and "Mama" (me), "Nana" (my mom) and "Bob" (that's my dad's nickname. Who knows! Hehe). She'll say other random words when she feels like mimicking.

I think that's it for now! Here are her 10 month pictures (copyright all pictures: pjphasmid [my mom])

Snowtime!!!

... and we did get dumped on! We had so much fun in the snow :) Let's hope it snows on Christmas!! Here are pictures of Tegan, Obi (our wolf-dog) and me playin' last weekend.

Tegan meets Uncle Nathan, Aunt Amy & Cousin Sara!

Tegan flew with Mommy to Folsom, California on Friday, December 5th! We stayed til Monday, December 8th. This was Tegan's second plane vacation, so she's becoming quite the veteran baby flyer ;) We were visiting Neal's brother Nate, his wife, Amy, and their daughter, Sara (who was born one year and one day earlier than Tegan! They almost had the same birthday!) We had suuuuch a great time. It was the first time they were able to see Tegan in person, so it was a very special time. Tegan and Sara got along great! (And yes, 'Tegan and Sara' is a Canadian Indie/Rock group, and no, we did not coordinate their names to be like theirs -- it was just a coincidence, seriously!)

The first picture is Tegan and I the day before we flew out. The other pictures are from decorating the Christmas tree and hanging out around the house. Enjoy!

Shopping Cart Fun

Teg rode in a shopping cart for the first time yesterday. A Floppy Seat (provided by my sister-in-law Amy) came in handy! She absolutely loved it. She squealed at everyone and growled the whole time. And, she waved! YES, waved! Tegan has learned to wave, and it's stinkin' cute. Here are a few pictures from our adventure at Safeway!

Rain, Rain, Go AWAY!!

Ugh! The rain has started in the Pacific Northwest. Here's to afternoons stuck in front of the television! *toast*

Tegan has officially started to try to crawl. She gets her right leg up underneath her and tries to catapult forward. Last night she rolled over and over for the first time! I never saw her do it, but somehow she got from the middle of the floormat to the carpet. She also has started this horrible habit of grabbing your face with her fingernails! I can't tell you how many scratches I have. :-p She can also sit unassisted for a few seconds before falling over.

Teg has also started regular solids, once a day. She has eaten peas, sweet potatoes and carrots (stage 1, 4+months) and prune juice. She loves to eat! I had started her out on rice, but it didn't agree with her. She also has learned to nap regularly, and it's been really nice. This is mostly due to the fact she is sleeping on her belly now.

I can't believe she is going to be 6 months old this month! Wow, has time flown by!

Happy Halloween!!

Tonight was Tegan's first Halloween! She had so much fun. First, she went to Gearhart Elementary School to see Dalton with his mommy (and my cool neighbor friend) Kelly. She got to meet a lot of kids and watch the festivities! Then she went downtown Seaside to trick or treat, then to the outlet mall to trick or treat, then home for some dinner. We were going to go to the convention center, but Tegan was pooped! So we called it a night and I snuggled her in bed. Here is some footage of the day!

my little cow-let!

... and she sure was pooped!

Photoshoot with Grandma!

Teg had a photoshoot with Grandma Lorenz recently. Here are some of the pictures!
