July

At the end of June, I went back to work and Jo started joining Teddy at daycare. For the first few weeks, when I'd pick them up at the end of the day, Teddy would take extra special care to make sure we didn't leave Jo behind. Thanks to him, we're batting 1000 on remembering to come home with 2 kids every day. 

Here she is on her first day. 

This month, she learned to grab her toes.

She has also started to grab for Teddy's toys, thus beginning a lifelong cycle of "this is mine, that is yours." Or as it currently goes in our house, "this is mine and that is mine, too."

Teddy is still testing out all the baby equipment for safety.

We've read some of his books so many times, he's able to "read aloud" to himself from memory. Thor has been in heavy rotation for a few months now. 

Teddy's car/truck/train collection seems to grow larger everyday and trust me, he has a constant inventory in his head of where each one is at all times. Possible locations: in his bed, in the wagon, in the backyard dirt, in Daddy's black car, in the shower, in the trunk of his Batmobile, in the mailbox, in Daddy's pocket.

Still such a happy little bird.
