Welcome once again to the Terrifyingly Terrific Tales of Teo.
Updates since last post:
So you all already know Teo's been crawling for about three weeks now (terrific), and being the GOLDEN CHILD that he is (I warned all of you), he has it down pat and now has the entire apartment to discover and roam. And you all already know he's been pulling himself up to a standing position (since BEFORE he was crawling), and so now it seems as that has become his one goal in his little life - to stand at every opportunity he gets (terrifying).
Candice has now introduced baby food into the mix for our growing little buddy, so now he gets half a jar of pureed sweet potatoes or carrots (Candice tried peas, but that was not well received) after his visit to the milk bar. Today, though he ate almost a WHOLE jar of sweet potatoes and then had a milk chaser, so was truly stuffed. Part of it is to now supplement his milk feedings with other foods on his way towards solid food, and also to add some meat to his little bones and also - and the real hope here for Candice - to help him sleep for longer than two-hour stretches at a time. Last night he had a five-hour stretch of sleep, which is glory for Mom. So we're hoping the extra food makes digestion longer and makes him sleepy. I told Candice to get some pureed turkey - the tryptophan will knock him out for hours! But then the story (tale) goes that Leonardo Da Vinci slept two hours at a time, spersed throughout a 24-hour period, so who knows.
Golden, I tells ya' - GOLDEN!!
