Meeting Santa Claus

If you ask me, Little Ted looks like he was perplexed by his first encounter with St. Nick.

First Meal

Little Ted had his first meal of rice cereal in Corpus. Honestly, he's not much of a fan; we discovered last week that he'd much rather chow down on bananas. No surprise really - he was bound to have a sweet tooth like his parents. Here's the video footage to prove that he's becoming a big boy.



Little Ted also had another first in Corpus. He rolled from his back to his stomach to his back all by himself. Of course, he managed to do this when we weren't looking and traveled quite a distance in the process, giving mom a pretty big shock. I'm sure before long he'll surprise us again by crawling off somewhere.

Snow in Texas

Yes, it does snow in Texas. Here's the proof:

Christmas on 5th Street

This past Thursday, we all happened to be on campus when Baylor's annual "Christmas on 5th Street" was being held. We braved the cold weather to enjoy hot chocolate and Christmas cookies and see all the festivities. Unfortunately, we did not see the Christmas tree lighting - it was way too cold for us to want to stick around that long. But the evening did put us in the "Christmas mood."

Mattie and Little Ted had lots of fun together during the Thanksgiving holiday.

Thanksgiving

This year, we headed down to Corpus to spend Thanksgiving with Ted's family. My MIL had the house decked out in her finest Christmas decorations for the baby to enjoy (we won't be decorating this year because of our trip). We relished in a week's worth of down time and had a great Thanksgiving dinner at Ted's parents' home. Below are a few of the pictures we took while there.

Four Month Check-Up

On the 19th, Little Ted had his 4 month check-up. Here are his current "stats":

Weight: 14 lbs, 4 oz (30th percentile)
Length: 25 inches (50th percentile - He grew 4 inches in the last 2 months!)
Head: 17 inches around (72nd percentile)

The doctor discovered that Little Ted is very ticklish - he giggled the whole time she examined his hips and abdomen. She complimented us on having a very happy and healthy baby, and then she sent the nurse in to give him his shots. :-/ Little Ted toughed it out the best he could, though he clearly did not appreciate the sticks.
