Teo's First Christmas





Happy Holidays to all!
Teo experienced his first Xmas this year, and seemed happy as a clam with all his new gifts. Thank you to all who sent him his wonderful gifts.
Teo (as are we all) is loving his new home. Tons more room to get around, and I think as a result, he's gained some crawling speed, as can be evidenced in the video below, of Teo chasing - and ROARING - after Tanner.
I do have video from Xmas morning of Teo and Tanner opening their gifts, but it is a lengthy vid and I'll need to edit some before posting. But it might be fun to see, if for no other reason than to see Teo on his first Xmas morn and reacting to and playing with his new toys, plus a couple of pieces of art that dad created about 22-odd years ago, back in school, for a job for the Tucson Zoo. They were languishing in my art portfolio lo these many years. After getting it out of storage during the move, I looked through the portfolio once again to see how things were holding up, and saw the pics and thought that I'd like to give to my son as a gift for his first Christmas, trying to perhaps make it more memorable and special. I hope he likes them.
Candice bought him a new doorway jumper, since his previous one was so incredibly lame. This actually bounces up and down! He took to it right away, as he loves to jump anyways, while we're holding him. Now he can do it completely under his own momentum. As long as he doesn't hit his head on the top of the doorframe.
Teo's appetite keeps growing, and mom is trying hard to keep him satisfied and happy with new tastes and textures, though I don't think he'll put up much longer with the imitation gruel mom is feeding him (see picture). I guess he had some cheese quesadilla today and loved it. Guess that's his quarter-Mexican in him coming out.
That's all for now on the Teo and family front. More to come soon. Look for the Xmas vid in a few days.
A Happy and Prosperous New Year to all!
