Teague learned to play peek-a-boo today (or rather to respond to the English words).
Teague
Teague is starting to copy Alex (and Alex copies Teague too).
Today Alex got all of us a soccer ball – sized according to our height.
Teague is definitely a thumb sucker – but only when he is tired.
Don’t tell Alex, but we spent the evening cuddling on the couch and watching tv.
(Alex is spending the night with Granny and Pop in the hotel.)
Wade got this bike out of the attic for Teague. He hopped on and started making circles around the house.
Teague loves music and today discovered the guitars.
One of the items in Teague’s last care package was a recordable book from Hallmark. Wade and I recorded ourselves reading alternative pages. It was the only item from the care packages that Teague’s foster mother returned. It is also currently both Teague and Alex’s favorite book.
Bear with me. I’m sure I’ll get tired of these shots eventually.
Teague will eat anything, but refuses to drink milk. His foster mother told us he still got three bottles of formula a day. I’m experimenting to see how I can transition him to milk in a sippy cup. My latest attempt is all milk with a single scoop of formula (opposed to 5.5) in a bottle. We got to the doctor on Friday and I’m hoping for more suggestions.
Teague is still a little unsure of the leaf piles I keep putting him in.
Teague created his own “seat” for the football game.
I have the feeling we will be seeing a lot more of this. Teague absolutely loves the animals. (I caught him in the same pose with Tabit earlier in the day.)
It’s universal. All little boys love garbage trucks.
When Teague got quiet, I sent Alex to find him. Alex reported back that Teague was laying down and sucking his thumb – normally only done at nap time or nighttime. I quickly went to investigate and found this.
Teague loves to eat – anything! He couldn’t wait to try some of Alex’s popcorn.
First haircut (in the US).
Teague has no interest in loveys, but carried around Wade’s portable cell phone charger all evening.
We are learning more about Teague and his personality all the time. We’ve decided he must have been clapped for quite a bit. He loves to hear “yay” and will immediately begin to clap.
The boys got a special treat tonight. The “hit” cartoon in Korea is Pororo and we had a few English episodes on Wade’s iPad.
Teague seems to be adjusting to life in Milwaukee just fine.
Teague loves Daddy’s funny faces.
My first picture (taken with my camera) of Teague.
Sleeping in our hotel room.
Teague got a haircut!
(And is wearing an outfit I sent.)
Teague and his third care package.
(And we found out today that his EP was approved.)
Teague and his second care package.

Teague graduated to having his picture taken in the chair.
Dressed up in a bow-tie for his “birthday” visit to Holt.
The first picture we saw of Teague.

These four got some good quality snuggles in this morning.
