Happy Halloween!

Teddy's Fairy Godmother

Aunt Hilary was in town this past weekend too, all the way from Colorado! We had too much fun catching up and Teddy loved spending time with his Godmother.

"Sip and See" goes "Sip and Hold"

My Mom hosted a few friends over to her house on Saturday afternoon to see baby Teddy. Here are a few of my favorite pictures. Enjoy!

Finger Eleven

Teddy had his extra digit removed yesterday. I didn't watch the procedure but he was pretty upset when they brought him out to me. He has a few stitches on his left pinky and a bandage around the finger. He will get his stitches removed on Monday, November 3rd. Teddy is doing great and is excited to have ten fingers like everyone else!

Head of the Charles

We went to the Head of the Charles in Boston this past weekend. We spent Friday night with our good friends, Emrick and John, at their amazing condo in Cambridge. We also ran into the Wallace family who were manning the Loomis booth at Reunion Village.

We had breakfast with Michael's friend from high school, Foster Brown. The boys hadn't seen each other since high school. We had so much fun!

I Want To Be Like Daddy!

My mother-in-law saved a few of Michael's outfits from when he was a baby. This one is my favorite. The print is little green mushrooms. Too cute!

Clearly Teddy is a much bigger baby than Michael ever was.

Ten Fingers and Ten Toes...I don't think so!

When Teddy was born, the first thing I did was to count his fingers and his toes. When counting his fingers, I got to number ten and there was still another finger left to count. Yes, that's right! Teddy has eleven fingers. It's actually a condition called polydactyly. It is really common - 1 in every 500 babies born has an extra digit.

The extra finger extends off his left pinky finger and doesn't have a bone. We are having the finger removed this coming Tuesday morning, although I am sad to see it go!

Here is a picture of the extra digit.

Update

Hello everyone! Teddy is growing and changing every day. He is starting to follow us with his eyes and his head, to smile when he sees us (I just love it!), to make vowel sounds, and to reach for objects in front of him. So totally exciting!

This is a picture of Teddy in his Teddy Bear outfit. Do you think he likes it?

It's Looking Like Fall!

Nikki St. Amand asked me to take pictures of the changing fall colors in New England and Baby Edward. I did her one better and took a picture of both!
