Malibu Castle mini golf

Teddy had his first round on the links on Friday. 

Brian claimed he was a hindrance, but I think Teddy must have been whispering his insights on the terrain into Brian's ear because they still beat me. I demand a rematch!

Haircut!

I couldn't take the balding mullet look any longer, so I enlisted Daddy and his clippers to even things out a little in back. I should have known Teddy would take it all in stride, he's such a trooper. 

Here's a little "before" detail...yeesh!

and during...

You're probably thinking that next I will insert an "after" photo. But I don't have a good one yet, so you'll have to check back later :)

Just because

4 months old

On Wednesday, Teddy turned 4 months old. 

He's turning into a big boy before our very eyes, so we figured it's time he started dressing like one. 

Grabbing his feet is his new favorite trick. 

He's desperately trying to get them into his mouth, but no luck on that one so far :)

First laughs

We've gotten a single giggle out of Teddy here and there for several weeks, but the other night we got our first real laughter out of him. Luckily, we were able to capture some of it on camera. We've gotten a couple more good laughs out of him since, but we'll be watching this video a lot until we get him laughing all the time :)

Meeting Brooks!

Last weekend we headed down to San Diego for the wedding of my cousin, Phil, to his high school sweetheart, Elyse. It was a beautiful wedding and Teddy had a great time hanging with all his Amberg aunts, uncles and cousins. On Sunday, we crossed paths with the Resnikoffs and got to meet little baby Brooks. Such a sweetie :) It was funny to hold him and remind myself that Teddy was that squishy and cuddly mere weeks ago. Time sure does fly. 

Nowadays, Teddy loves to practice standing, sitting and talking and whenever he's on the floor he's rolling, rolling, rolling. 

Back to work

I headed back to work after Labor Day which meant it was time for Teddy to start going to daycare. We found a great place near to our house and now that it's been 2 weeks I can safely say Teddy loves it. When we drop him off in the morning he has big smiles for Rosalba and when we pick him up all the bigger kids love to say goodbye to him. 

Here he is being dropped off on his first day...

And here he is that night. All tuckered out.

Football season

Football season is here, which around our house mostly means it's time for fantasy football. Here's Teddy and Daddy heading off to his 2nd fantasy football draft, wearing their matching Urlacher jerseys. 

Such a pro at it already. Go (Teddy) Bears!

Teddy's baptism

Teddy was baptized at St. Catherine of Siena over Labor Day weekend. He wore my dad's (and all my aunts' and uncles') christening gown. Good thing we didn't wait any longer because it barely fit. Well, actually, we couldn't fasten the top button, so I guess technically it didn't fit. Oh well. He was a champ, all that bathtime practice paid off and there was no crying. 

Thanks Uncle Justin and Aunt Kristen for being his godparents!

Practice, practice, practice

Getting ready for baptism. 

Teddy still loves his baths and since his hair is, shall we say, less magnificent these days, Daddy is dusting off his mohawk styling skills. 

Like Grandpa(s), Like Grandson

Teddy loves his Grandpas so much, he tries to be just like them...
