Forty-sixth and Forty-seventh Weekiversaries
I can’t believe two weeks have already gone by since my last post! I know I say this over and over, but I feel time is passing at hyper-speed.
Ted has figured out how to get down from a standing position. Thank goodness. That is a very important skill. He has become an expert on pulling himself up and does it on everything. He speed crawls around and pulls himself up to the couch or the toy box and stands and plays awhile then gets down and crawls again. He chases me down and we walk around with me holding his hands. He also has figured out how to climb the stairs.
We went to a music and movement class for the first time. Ted loved it. He loves watching the big kids (yes that means 18 months and 2 year olds) and trying to imitate them. He did all the movement with me walking him along holding his hands. He would try to go faster when the the big kids went faster and slowed down when they did. He did mostly just try to eat the noisemakers and other props, but other than that he seemed to really “get” the class. I am considering signing him up for a weekly class once I find out how much it would cost.
We hosted playgroup here this week. Ted did great sharing his toys. There were six other kids here ranging in age from 6 months to 15 months. All but the six month old were either crawling or walking. Pretty crazy sight. I served hot cocoa, coffee, banana bread (with and without chocolate chips) and fruit salad. The other moms mostly ate the banana bread without the chocolate chips so they could share with their kids. I ended up eating way too much banana bread that day. It came out very good.
His latest foods are turkey, spinach, and american cheese. I tried giving him some banana bread and he ate it, but I won’t be doing that again. No pears or bananas for Ted. All baby food mixed fruits are either mixed with bananas, pears, or apples. Ted eats a lot of apples.

What a great post! Music and Movement sounds like a lot of fun, way for Ted to be observant and copy the big kids! Great socialization and fun too! I love all the new pics, so grown up!
