Forty-eighth and Forty-ninth Weekiversaries
Ted and I have been very busy these days. Which is a very good thing. Ted loves getting together with his friends. In his 48th week we went to a playgroup, went shopping with friends, and went to another Movement and Music class. While at the music class I realized that another one of Ted’s teeth is coming in. It is on the bottom to the left of the two he already has down there. So we finally started brushing his teeth. We got him a toddler toothbrush and toothpaste and he really seems to like it, especially when Dad helps.
In his 49th week we hosted playgroups on Tuesday and Thursday for two of the moms groups we are in. Then Friday we went for a walk with friends and then had the kids play at one of the mom’s house. Ted is a little social butterfly following the other kids around and making sure he is in the center of things at all times.
Ted’s latest thing is attacking Zoe. She is a very social cat and likes to be near us. Ted likes to get right up in her face and flail his arms at her. She definitely does not like that, as you could imagine. She still sticks around though, she holds her ground. One of these days she is going to let him have it.
Ted also signed for the first time. He was really good at signing “more” for a day. Now he tends to clap instead. But at least he has inspired me to be better about signing for him. He is also really good at giving high-fives. He has been pointing a lot too. And when we read his That’s Not My Kitten book, if I don’t reach out and touch the textures, he will take my hand and make me feel them. He can stack his wooden blocks four high. He also walks while pushing his Mickey Mouse Plane.
He finds my laptop irresistible. One time I forgot it on my chair while I was making breakfast. When I peeked into the living room he was standing up to the chair gently hitting the keys over and over. So funny. It was making nearly the same noise as when I type.
His latest foods are beef, tomato, and pasta. He is loving fruit salad. Whenever I am eating it he hangs around my seat like a little puppy dog to get bites.

Nice photos.
My, my, my! How that boy has grown.
Watching him on skype as he pushed the Micky plane around was a real treat. It cracks me up how he has adapted to ‘chatting’ on the computer with his family that just happens to live far away. He acts like we are right in the living room.
