A Teo of Two Cities






Burbank and Toluca Lake, to be exact. These are the only two cities that Teo has been to. (Technically, he's also been to Arcadia [Kohl's] and drove through a few others on the way, but for the purposes of my clever play on his name, these are THE ONLY TWO!) Or that he is at least vaguely familiar with. Burbank for the obvious reasons of being born and living here and baseball games and shopping, but he and mom (and dad, once) have been on very scenic walks/stroller rides (he rides) through idyllic Toluca Lake, which is our immediate neighbor to the west, across Pass Ave. No sidewalks, only well-watered and manicured lawns fronting mostly beautiful houses, a neighborhood very much resembling the Truman Show set.
Teo was weighed this past Tuesday and logs in at an impressive 10lbs. already. I'm sure that his brain has also gained another pound as well, since we find that he puts his pacifier in his mouth for himself, which, since we never see him do it in our presence, we assume he does telekinetically. But the throbbing and glowing veins in his semi-transparent skulll are another giveaway.
He has a new bathtub, which he seems to prefer to the SINK DISPOSAL. OK, technically not the disposal, but a kitchen sink? Please. Find me something a tad less trailer-trashy, thank you! (But kudos to Candice for improvising.)
That's it for news on the Teo front for now. In the next blog post, we will upload a few more of the professional pics that we had taken for us. All suitable for framing! But DON'T print them and give them to us as Xmas gifts, Thank You!

Sorry, but you have forgotten about Teo's famous trip to Hollywood...the pump station and el pollo loco?

Way to spoil everything, Julie/Mom. I'll never write on this blog again.

Can't wait til he visits Chicago!

Candice said...

Speaking of visiting, Linda, when are you coming here?

Kimber said...

OMG! He is absolutely the cutest thing I've ever seen! Congrats cousin Gil and family for such a beautiful addition to the world. Any chance you'll be visiting Chicago July 10-18?

Kim! So great to hear from you. Hope all is good with you and your family. I'm afraid to know how old all the kids are these days. It would only be a scary reminder to me of my age. I'm pretending to be younger than I am since I just had a kid and want him to believe I'm his DAD and not his grandad! Teo is pretty cute, isn't he? Can't believe he's mine, expressly for that reason. Takes after his mom ;) Not likely we'll be in Chitown this summer. Will probably choose Hawai'i if anywhere.
