Went to Utah this past holiday weekend; short visit for me, but a nice extended stay for Teo and Candice, up to visit the rents and other family for the holiday.
On the Fourth, we went over to the Hansen's compound to watch Lt. Col. Don and his platoon of pyro-tastic children light off fireworks - which are legal in Utah (with some restrictions), for those of us in states more wary of missing digits and burns of varying degrees - and we weren't sure how Teo would react to the fireworks and loud booms going off throughout the day and especially into the night.
He seemed to be mostly fine with it. His eyes opened VERY wide for the big sparkly displays, with slight jumps when things got loud and crackly. After a while, though, he got bored with it all and fell asleep, and managed to sleep through the rest of the cacophony.
The other big trip news was that Teo LAUGHED for the first time. Not a coo, as he's been doing, but a real big laugh. His cousins (Daniel, Jenna and Sophie) and brother Tanner were making faces and chanting silliness, and being unable to contain his giant smiles any longer, Teo burst out with some laughs. He did it a few times, and on the last one, seemed to surprise even himself with this new sensation and then began to cry, but with a smile on his face. Too cute and way too funny to watch.
Next up for the boy - a trip to San Francisco, leaving tomorrow. Little guy gets around! Look for pics around this time (Thursday), next week.
