1.  Sometimes we call Teagan “duder”….long for dude which is short for Teagan Jude The Dude.

2.  Playing “oh no, the tickle bug is gonna get me!!” this morning in his room:

3.  His hair is getting so long.  I’m dying to cut it short.  I totally see a faux hawk in his future.  It’s just so him.

4.  Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, and now you know what it is like to live at my house with a 13 month old duder.  Lather, Rinse, Repeat 8 bazillion times a day.

5.  His vocabulary is blossoming.  He says mama, dada, bahbah (Ty), dog, bark, uhoh,  and no no.  If you ask him what a dog says, he says “bark”.  If you ask him what Taryn says he says “bark bark bark bark bark…..”  ha, I think he thinks she talks a lot.

6.  I’m dying to get him out in the bluebonnets this year…..I was beginning to think they would never bloom.  I found a great little field that will be just enough to do the job in Cedar Park…..I just need it to dry up a little.  Can’t wait!

7.  He took a few steps yesterday.  Totally unprompted and only because he wasn’t thinking about it.  He saw my camera sitting by itself in front of him on the floor and took off for it.  Every other moment of the day he is one nervous little chicken.

8.  He “loves” on everything.  His dog, his blankie, a random toy spoon.  He raises it up to his ear, leans his head to the side, smiles and says “awwwwwwww”.

9.  I love the way he points to his highchair tray.  As soon as you put him in he starts frantically pointing to the tray “right here mom, put the food right here!!!”

10.  He has a doctor’s appointment with the specialist tomorrow.  If you are the praying kind, please say a prayer for our little guy and his health.  We’d be forever grateful.

Happy Tuesday everyone!
