Fall Fun

Despite all the rain, we still managed to have several fun fall outings in October. Teagan and I spent a morning at the Arboretum with some friends, and all the pumpkins were a big hit with the Little Ones.

Teagan and I also went to the pumpkin patch at Owens Farm. Teagan enjoyed feeding the goats at the farm and now says "food" whenever we look at books with farm animals. We also went on a hay ride, but the highlight for Teagan was when she got to run around the pumpkin patch.

Paul, Teagan, I went to Huffhines Art Fest with some friends. Teagan rode around in her wagon and liked the hay bale maze.

On Halloween, we went over to Beth & Steve's so Teagan could go Trick or Treating with her cousins. Teagan was dressed as a dalmation and we pulled her around the neighborhood in her wagon.

18 months!

Teagan had her 18 month check up last week and did really well. It's hard to believe she is already 18 months old! She is now 34 1/2" tall (98th percentile) and 25lb 2 oz (60th percentile). Looks like she is still on track to be tall like her Daddy! Her doctor was very happy with her language skills and the nurse couldn't believe it when Teagan asked to use the potty while we were there. She was very impressed when I told her that Teagan uses the potty at least 75% of the time.

Busy Girl

One of Teagan's favorite things to play with is a phone. She loves the real thing, or will just pretend that whatever toy or object she has is a phone. Her conversations are always the same! "Ya, ya, ya, bye-bye."

Teagan is such a big talker now. She's plays with her dolls and stuffed animals, constantly narrating what they are doing or what she wants us to do. She still mostly says the first syllables of words, but has been learning more two syllable words lately. She is recently mastered "apple" and is quite proud of that!

Big Red Wagon

We decided to get Teagan a wagon this weekend, and she has really been enjoying it. With a cushy blanket and pillow, Teagan seems quite comfortable! We always put her in the wagon sitting up, but she seems to prefer to just lounge and sprawl out. She giggles when her Daddy is the crazy wagon driver and she loves to go around corners really fast.

Tonight when we went for our nightly wagon ride/walk, Teagan wore her Stars Jersey to show support for her team. The game didn't start until after her bedtime, but she showed her team spirit anyway.
