Ted is Eleven Months Old
Ted is growing in ability and dexterity in great leaps and bounds these days. Compared to last month, he can now crawl along in the traditional crawling style with his belly totally off the ground… and at tremendous speed! We’ve had to block off portions of the living room so he doesn’t crawl away while we blink. We posted a little video of it the other day in case you didn’t see it.
He babbles a bit more now, usually when we’re trying to feed him. With food he’s either super hungry or up for a spoon fight. Most of the time he eats though, and eats alot. Every night I’m bringing handfuls of baby food jars out to the recycle bin. Kate is still introducing him to new foods on a regular basis, so hopefully he won’t be as vegetable-averse as his father it.
And he hi-five’s now! We need to get that on video. He doesn’t like to be left hanging, by the way, so if you happen to see him and he offers you a hi-five, you better respond appropriately. Otherwide you might get the eyebrow.
New teeth this past week to, definitely one on the lower jaw and possibly one coming in up top. Its made for a few sleep-deprived nights. Hopefully he uses these new choppers to chew some of his food.
It’s crazy to believe how close to a year he is now! He’s very excited that some of his yankee peeps are coming down to celebrate.

I saw that ‘eyebrow’. No way I want him to flash ME that ‘eyebrow’!

Hard to believe how fast they grow!! – And I’m coming at it from a four-legged furry view point. Enjoy it while it lasts – next week he’ll be leaving for college. :)

that eyebrow will be an effective tool in his later years, although it sounds like he uses it already! High fives are very socially appropriate for preverbal babies. Smart baby, but then you knew that. I hope he does become veggie-loving! xxoo
