Second day of no bottles – thank goodness for soft spout sippy cups.

I told Alex I needed to make a grocery list before we left the house. He quickly made his own list. (It says 3 apples in case you have trouble reading it.)
Best Buds (at least in Teague’s eyes).
Book reading.
Alex found this coupon door hanger in our front yard. After spending 20 minutes talking to our neighbor about it, he spent an additional 15 discussing all the ads with Wade.
The black eye is healing up nicely.
Brothers – dressed and ready for Friendsgiving.
Brothers slowly waking up after nap.
By request…
Why does Teague choose Tuesdays and Thursdays to take an extra long nap? Those are the days I have to wake him up to go get Alex.
Brothers sharing a laugh.
Our little guy was not happy to miss out on a bath tonight.
(Wade normally gets drenched at bath time and decided one boy in the tub tonight was enough.)
Teague loves fruit pouches and I think they make a great snack. He can also reach them and it is a way for him to tell me he’s hungry.
Alex has not wanted anything to do with them until Teague started loving them. Silly boys. Now they both love to grab them from the pantry.
Creating a rain-maker for music class.
Bike riding – with a passenger.
Daddy and Alex working on a “project”.
(Wade is testing out an idea for the youth at church – trebuchet).
Kisses (or “mmwah” as Teague calls it).
Family trip to the dog park.

At Bug in a Rug theater for Little Red Riding Hoodie
(Note that Froggy joined us – in boxer shorts and a scarf)
Alex has been quite attached to “Froggy” the last few days. Today Froggy needed a scarf and underwear when we went out to dinner and pajamas at bedtime (thankfully Teague’s fit).
Teague loves to watch himself in the mirror while I brush his teeth.
Happy Halloween.
And this is why Alex still needs a nap. (Something at MDO got confused and he didn’t have one today.)
Now everybody has house shoes.
Brothers.
Wade let me sleep in this morning and I woke up to this in the living room.
Too stereotypical?
(The chopsticks came with Teague from his foster mother and we were told he knew how to use them.)
The minute I mentioned a Halloween Party, Alex requested to bob for apples. (Every Halloween book we have seems to feature the activity and he’s sure a party isn’t complete without it.)
Teague was great at the pumpkin carving party. He wanted to be held but didn’t seem to care who was holding him.
Alex got a mustache at Daddy’s work today and couldn’t wait to try it out.
I am not really a pasta person (especially spaghetti and messy pastas). I made spaghetti casserole and Teague loved it. He ate it single strand by single strand. Then he finished up Alex’s plate too.
Bedtime!
Bedtime. (All “woof woofs” are in bed and accounted for.)
Riding the train at the zoo – happiness!
Best shirt – ever!
(Thanks Nicki and Amber)
Staring contest with the time out timer.
Teague had his first visit with our pediatrician today. At 20 months he is 35.5 inches tall (98%) and 29 lb and 7.5 oz (around 80%).
(The doctor said if he stays on this growth curve he would end up about 6’3″)
Alex’s house shoes have finally arrived!!
(He’s been asking daily for weeks.)
Teague learned to give kisses today.
Alex asked if he could play with the pots and pans like Teague. I replied sure. Pretty soon Alex was making me “hot porridge”.
Teague loves cars, but real cars. He gets much more excited about a car driving down the street than a toy car. He also prefers this book, which pictures real cars, to cartoon-type pictures.
My sons definitely love Mexican food as much as I do.

We made a trip to the museum with a pirate ship.
We made a trip to the Delafield Play Gallery. Teague and Glenna were at least a little aware of each other.
Some things never change. (See here for Alex doing the same thing two years ago.)
It was a rainy day so we used the new blanket from Aunt Lissy as a cape!
Brothers sharing a banana.
Teague learned to play peek-a-boo today (or rather to respond to the English words).
