Happy Halloween!

We went trick or treating with the Boulos's and had a great time! Teagan was not sure what was going on at first, but she loved chasing after the bigger kids. And she soon figured out to get her candy and put it in her lil punkin bag--so cute! She was even picking up candy off the ground and putting it in her bag--hilarious!

The Superfriend's before the candy patrol

Happy Family! It was rainy but not too bad. We were out for almost 2 hours and managed to cover 2 streets! So that should give you a good idea of our pace--nice and steady!

Taking a break on the daddies' shoulders. You can see Teagan is holding her flashlight, wearing a light-up ghost necklace, and her running watch. It's all about the accessories!

And her punkin bag was juts the right size Grammy and Grandpa!

Fun times with the Mewett's

Pulled pork nachos at Aubreys

Followed by a cheese burger with Mac n' Cheese. Yum.

Spinnin around in my stripey pants!

Cruisin on the bumble bee

Michael Jackson!

At long last Mo has finally gotten her hands on a sequined MJ glove! Basically this means that Mo can stop making her own with a grand total of three sequins on it!

Punkin Patch & Hayride

Hiya, well we went to the punkin patch last weekend. It was beautiful weather & we enjoyed picking our pumpkins!
Teagan liked running around but was not a fan of the hayride out to the pumpkin patch.

"Hey what do you guys think of these punkins over here?"

"Hey Mama! There's that big old LOUD tractor again!! I am DONE with they hayride, just so you know!"

"WHOA! It is getting closer--seriously, let's just walk back from the punkin patch--I DO NOT want to get back on that hayride!!"

Ok this is better--posing with punkins! and my puppy of course!

Family photo!

Party in the U.S.A.

This is Teagan's new favorite jam--Party in the U.S.A.!!!

Beers of the World

We went to Greenville a couple of weekends ago for some racing and to celebrate my b-day a little early. It was fun--Teagan played at the playground, skinned her knees, swam in the hotel pool, and had a great time overall. Normally we go for the Fall for Greenville weekend, and that was actually Teagan's first roadtrip last year! But this year we went a week early b/c the race was cancelled--we have been going to those races since 1997 so that was kinda sad. But our trip to Whole Foods made up for everything!! We were blown away by their beer selection. I was compelled to photograph it and we will definitely make that a regular stop every time we go to G'ville from now on!

Geri is on the phone with Tom here--he is so excited he can hardly stand it.

Teagan is over it--she just wants to get to the Gelato counter! She's tired of shopping for beer!

Puppy Slippers

Hey check out my sweet new puppy slippers!

another family photo :)

I wear my sunglasses inside, cuz I am cool like that

"Leader of the pack"

Geri's Birthday!

We went to Atlanta last weekend--it was Geri's b-day and there was a crit down there so we thought it would be a good reason to go have some fun! Teagan enjoyed riding the elevator at the hotel--we were on the 15th floor. Here she is getting low.

And here's Geri & Teagan posing in front of the frogs at dinner. Teagan had guacamole and rice! yummmy!

She absolutely loved the pool! We threw her back and forth, she put her face in and blew bubbles, she paddled. It was great fun til she turned purple and we had to get out b/c she was freezing!

We went to the Atlanta Zoo in the afternoon. Geri & I hadn't been there since we went when Christopher was little, so probably 9 or 10 years. Teagan really loved looking at all the animals.

Here's Geri & Teagan by the gorillas, you can see one in the upper left of the pic.

Here's me & Teagan in front of the elephants. She was getting really tired by this point!

Then we went to Geri's race at Grant Park, which is right next to the zoo, and our friend from college Janelle met us to watch him race. We had a lot of fun hanging out with her during the crit and I'm glad she came to meet Teagan!!

Geri got 9th in the crit which was a pretty good result considering it was a good sized Pro, 1, 2 field. We had a really fun weekend!

1 year stats

Teagan went for her 1 year check-up the week after her b-day. She loves to push her dollies in her baby stroller (all of them, at once). Really she likes to push just about anything she can fit in the stroller--sippy cups, bath toys, TV remotes, you name it!

Her stats are:

Weight: 19 lbs. 15 oz. = 30%

Height: 29.6 inches = 70%

Head: 45.5 cm. = 70%

Teagan loves to love on Callie.

And now that she is 1, she sits in a big girl carseat! She is facing forward and enjoying the view!

Birthday Party Pics

Here's Teagan chillin' on the back porch before her party.

Here she is smiling at her Auntie Katie

And wearing her birthday crown from Auntie Katie!

Here she is busting a move at her party!

1st Birthday....?

Did someone say birthday?!?

That's right--I'm ONE!! It's party time!

"Gotta Get That"

This is Teagan's JAM! We listen to it about 50 times per day! She loves to dance!

Breakfast with My Troll

As you can see from many of my photos, I take my Troll doll pretty much everywhere. He is handy as his hair-do mops up all kinds of spills (yogurt, barf, whatever!).

Also notice I like to cross my toes just like my Mom. My Dad is truly amazed at how much I already act like her!

New Shoes!

Ok, well now that I am walking all over the place, I had to get some new shoes to wear around. I went to Stride Rite and got sized properly so I am all set!! I love my shoes and can walk very well in them.

Daddy says I look like Mama in this picture--like I am trying stuff on when I don't really feel like it.

My New Bike!

Ever since I got my bike, all I want to do is ride it! It is so sweet. It was supposed to be for my 1st birthday, but my Mom & Dad gave it to me early!!

Well I rode my bike to the Farmers Market downtown this past weekend. I bought some cool books at the book fair and then hauled 'em home!

Here I am in Black Mountain, NC at my Daddy's bike race. I rode around this lake several times! What a great workout and beautiful scenery! As you can see I am multi-talented--I can hold my Troll or my dolly and ride one-handed!

My helmet is pretty cool too--I picked it out at Toys R Us.

Walking baby!

ok...well that was easier than I thought to post a video....here she is by popular demand...Teagan walking!

Walking and her Troll

Teagan sitting on her Bumbo and Skyping with Cool Aunt Katie--look how happy she is to talk to her auntie!! She started WALKING on Monday!! So cute--at first it was just a few drunken steps, but now it is full on Frankenstein walking! She can get pretty far before she plops down on her booty.

She will not even put this troll doll down to eat. She carries it around constantly!!

Here's Teagan in her adorable new towel from the Honeydale bunch! She loves it--it is so soft! And plus it's a TOAD with her NAME on it--it does not get better than that!

Here she is walking in her room, well she was walking and then got down into this pose which Ang has dubbed "the general". Again with the troll. This was a doll Sharon got me a long time ago and Teagan saw it on a shelf and wanted it the other day. She has rarely set it down since then. She even slept with it the first night she had it. She likes to hold the hair up to mine or Geri's nose to tickle us with it!

Bermuda

Teagan was so cute on the beach. She wanted to just crawl straight into the ocean so you had to really keep an eye on her!! Bryan kept telling this story about how Geri washed away in a wave when he was her age, but that he crawled right back up the beach after a few panicky moments!! That was not reassuring me!

Here's me and Teagan in St. Georges. We were searching for Jaime and her family but to no avail-we never found them. We tried though!

Here we are in Flatts at Rustico. Geri and I went there for our 6th wedding anniversary a couple of years ago. Very good food and nice patio.

Here's Geri and Teagan at the club. It is really nice now that there is a pool at the beach. Last time we were there it was under construction.

more Bermuda

We had fun spending time with Pops, Gran & Uncle Christopher! We went out and about in the mornings while Geri and Brad were at the cycling camp. This day we went to Dockyard and Christopher got a skim board. Too bad the weight limit was 75 lbs. cuz Geri and I wanted to try it!

Geri and Brad working hard, drinking Heinekeg cans! Nice.

Teagan and Christopher at La Tratt. Teagan at pizza and pasta--sundried tomatoes, zucchini, you name it. She loves food!

And also ICE CREAM!! This was Geri's cone for about one bite, then Teagan took it over.

Bermuda Beach Pics!

As you can see from the pics, Teagan absolutely loved the beach. We already knew she loved the water, she obviously takes after her Daddy in that regard. However, she did not mind getting up close and personal with the sand--she was covered in the stuff!! She most definitely does NOT take after her Daddy in that regard. ;)

Building her personal pool with wave barrier...

Working hard with Daddy--she was very good at patting the sand!

She's like "hey check me out!!"

11 months old!

Teagan turned 11 months the day we left Bermuda! Time flies!

Teagan loves to read and we read the same books to her over and over. She is content to sit and read to herself as well.

Look at that face--already sporting some attitude!

Here's a pic of Kameisha's new puppy, Blaze! He was 6 weeks old in this pic--and Teagan loved him b/c they were just about the same size!

Lately her high chair is the only place I can get her to sit still and look at me--thus the reason for the many high chair shots!!

Teagan was like, "Hmmmm....what's this lil' baby all about?"

He's pretty cute!!

The guys managed to go for a nice bike ride before it got too hot out.

Thanks for coming to visit--we are so glad we got to see you guys and meet baby Thomas!!

Shopping, Visiting, Eating, etc.

Geri & Teagan in Pigeon Forge the other day--we did some shopping but it was HOT up there--100 degrees! Teagan got a new bathing suit and some clothes.

We ate at what used to be Connors and is now KT's! Of course we had to eat there, given the name!

Here's Teagan & Tom just hanging out when he came up to the house to visit one day last weekend.

Here's Teagan reading us one of her FAVORITE books at dinner at Cafe 4 last weekend. She seriously loves this book--as you can see by how much she has chewed on it!! The spine is a bit soggy.

She paused her reading long enough to look up for the photo!

Mama's Little Helper

Teagan loves to fold laundry
(i.e. take everything out of the laundry basket and leave it in a pile and crawl away)

She also loves to dust (i.e. chew on the swiffer duster!)

She is such a good helper--I am very lucky!
