Six months

Six months later and the time has not flown by. I don’t say this in a bad way. I love that it hasn’t all gone by in a blink. There’s been so much adapting and growing and general newness that the past six months have passed in very real time.

A few of my favourite things about him at the moment:

• Sometimes when I come home from work, Teddy and Sarah are sitting on the front step. More often then not I’m in some kind of workfunk, but then Teddy recognizes me, bops up and down and gives me a big smile, and that bad mood is gone in a second.
• He’s been working on b-sounds lately. “Buh! Buh! Buh!” And almost every time that he starts to say it, he’ll warm up first. He’ll mouth the words a couple of times, then he’ll whisper it buh, and then he start saying it out loud. Needs to be seen to really be appreciated, but sadly I don’t have a video.
• But I do have a video of Teddy eating solid food, or you know, gumming it a couple of times, pulling a face, and then horking it out. In the attached video there are three quick clips. Clip one is from his first day of trying food, with Teddy tasting an orange pepper (a sweet pepper--we're not jerks). Clip two has him trying a plum for the first time (and not liking it so much). And clip three occured about two minutes later, where Teddy's liking plum a whole lot more.
