Helping Around the House

Teddy has formed a love for helping in any way around the house.
He wants to sweep....




He wants to mow the lawn (just like his big cousin Ben)







And he has even found an activity that cultivates his love for water



This is the face he makes when he says "cheese"



In an attempt to get the water can away from Teddy, Ted filled the entire thing up with water. We thought this would inhibit his ability to pick it up. Boy were we wrong. This little guy put his legs into and grunted and took the water can to go water more flowers.



He sure does love to help!!!

Playing with my cousins

A few weeks ago Jim, Josh, and Emma came for an overnight visit. Teddy had so much fun playing with them. It is always a joy to watch Teddy play with family!
Emma and Josh were so sweet with him!



Playing ball with Uncle Jim






Watching a little TV in the morning



Wish they lived closer! Looking forward to seeing them again soon!

Kids in the neighborhood

Every time we go for a walk the neighborhood girls swarm to Teddy's "beep beep" to say hello. Most often Teddy goes into shy mode and just stares at them. This time I pulled him out of the car and let him walk around. One of the little girls said, "oh, I have never seen him walk before." the girls love saying hello and playing with his hair. They are little mother hens :-). They helped him collect rocks to drop in the drain at the end of the road!

Teddy loves pasta and sauce. A true Galbraith!!!

Long Island

This past weekend we went to Long Island for our nephew, AJ's Christening.  It was a fun weekend spending time with family and friends.  It is amazing what a difference two months makes.  Last time we made this trip, Teddy was just 2 months old and the drive there took 8 hours! (typically a 5 hour drive)  This time it took us 5 hours...Teddy did not want to stop once to eat!!  We are blessed with such a good little boy. He slept all the way there and still slept through the night!!

It was fun to see how much AJ has grown and spend time with all of our family!  We even got some good news while we were there!  Aunt Mary Valerie and Paul Michael are getting married!!  We are so excited for them!!

The boys...I bet there are going to be lots of pics of them together over the years!

The Kempinski Cousins!  Megan is so beautiful!

Cereal and a sippy cup for my big boy

Teddy had cereal for the first time tonight. He only took a few spoon fulls and spit most of it out but we tried. Teddy went to the doctor for his 4 month check up on the 25th. Teddy weighs 14lbs 4oz, is 25 1/2 inches long and his head circumference is 17 1/4. He got his shots and took them like a champ with very little crying. The doctor recommended starting him on oatmeal or barley cereal and also said to start letting him use a sippy cup to drink some water. Our little boy is getting so big...cereal and a sippy cup?!?

Trip to PA

This past weekend we went to PA to visit my brother and his lovely family.  Teddy did GREAT in the car ride there and back home.  On the way there he slept, only waking to eat once!  We had a great time visiting with everyone.  Josh and Emma really seemed to enjoy playing with Teddy.  Emma is going to make a great mother some day.  While we were there we spent lots of time hanging out, went for a walk and went to a train museum which even the big kids liked :-)  

 

LOVE these kids!!

Emma loved reading to Teddy!

Teddy slept through most of the museum...

Somehow Tara managed to avoid the camera all weekend long!  Thanks again Jim and Tara for letting us come visit for the weekend..we had a great time!!  Looking forward to our next visit!
