Now that Taedon is semi mobile, and by that I mean not quite crawling but scoots along on his stomach across the floor, he likes to get in the middle of laundry and everything I put on the floor.  Here he is helping me stuff his diapers.  He crawled right into my nicely laid out pile and spread everything out.  Even tasted a couple of the covers which if he understood what he was tasting he might have thought twice.  Ahh to be an innocent child...


Fresh warm towels...


I tried containing him while I folded...he wasn't really into the basket as much as the piles of clothes.


Posing in his I love SD shirt...cause he did when he was there. 


Almost sitting up...not quite able to do it by himself but wants to.


Every time I take his picture he tries to help so I figured I would post a couple of the cute ones I get as he reaches for the camera to help me.



I finally remembered to buy batteries for his crib "TV" and he was so happy to have it back in action.  You would have thought the fish were real.


His new teeth are really coming in.  I keep forgetting they are in there and volunteer my finger to chew on.  He reminds me VERY quickly though.  Surprised I haven't needed stitches yet. :)


We made a fort out of his favorite blanket and his play mat.  I'm sure the first of many blanket forts to come.



And of course can't forget about the "first born child."  He got a new toy the other day which never happens because he has a million toys and since I found ones he can't destroy, he never needs new ones.  It's funny to watch him carry this thing around since it is bigger than his head.  He loves it, though, and you can't beat hours of fun for $2.99.

I got my first two teeth!  We had thought he was teething for about the past month and last week we woke up to two teeth pushing through.  He is still getting used to the feeling of them but his little smile is so cute.



I was worried that Taedon and Niko wouldn't get along but I could not have been more wrong.  They LOVE each other.

Telling secrets...probably about me.


"Now Niko, you must let go if you want me to throw it."  Anyone that knows this dog knows that fetch isn't his favorite game.  It is the thrill of you trying to get the ball away from him that he enjoys most.


"He's my buddy mom."  Niko jumped up to lay with him and Taedon was petting him when I turned around. 


Niko got confused on which Boppy was his again.


He can't sit alone just yet but getting close.



 We have started him on solids and so far carrots, pears, apples and potatoes are a hit.  Occasionally he gets more inside than on the outside and if I'm lucky we get through a meal before blowing raspberries becomes fun and I end up with food all over me too.


Game day (and a good one for the Ravens at that since they beat the Steelers by A LOT) and Taedon was more interested in eating toys than watching the game.  He did have his Ravens onesie on though so he was cheering them on in his own way.


Didn't quite make it through the entire game.


Niko was more interested on what was going on outside.


And he is finally able to roll from his back to stomach.  He had done it on occasion but I finally was in the room to actually see it.
