Tenth Week-iversary

The high today is supposed to be 102 degrees, so Ted decided it was about time he got out his board shorts.  I found these in a big bag of awesome hand-me-downs from Jake and Matthew, his step-cousins.  We went for a walk this morning, when it was still supposed to be in the 70′s, but with the humidity it felt more like 90.

Later I got him into an outfit from Auntie Kristen.

He seems to like it.

We went to the pediatrician on Friday.  Ted has jumped up in the percentiles (and also in the diaper sizes.)  I think he is looking to compete with Jack, size-wise.  He did not like it when she checked his ears.  You would have thought she was checking them with a carving knife, the way he started shrieking and continued shrieking… Really after that, getting his Dtap shot was nothing.

He got teased by a bully for the first time.  There was a boy about 10 in the waiting room, making fun of all the little kids who were fighting over the trains.  He kept mocking them for caring about the trains and then couldn’t resist them himself and continued to play with the trains while saying how stupid and babyish they were.  Then they called Ted, only he goes by Edward at the doctor.  And the boy said, “Squidward,” which is a grumpy character from Sponge Bob Squarepants.  Ted and I just chose to ignore him.

He is continuing on with his cute babbling.  One of the things it sounds like he’s saying is “I’m going.”  I think he must be talking about our trip this month.  He has also been reaching toward his toys, but still isn’t grasping them on his own.  I am sure once that starts everything will be going in his mouth.  Last night he slept in his crib for nine sweet, sweet hours.  He had a very happy weekend and made us very happy parents.
