Sixteen Weeks

It's hard to believe Teodor turned sixteen weeks old this past Tuesday. Today we had his fourth well-baby visit. All is very well with him. He is almost 16lbs already. He laughs a lot & "talks". He is drooling even more and will chew on practically anything. We wonder how much longer it will be till that first tooth pops up. He's showing interest in our food, but I want to wait till week 20 before starting him on veggies. His doctor actually advised giving him carrots first and then cereal. The baby food brand we use recommends the same. On the other hand, the English books I've read suggest mixing cereal with formula first, getting used to the spoon & adjust to something other than liquid. Still not sure what we'll do. Don't want to stress him since it will be right around the US trip. We'll just take little steps and see how he handles it.
He's very active & showing signs of wanting to start crawling too. It is so cute watching him kick with his feet & pull up on his arms. He gets frustrated with himself using so much energy and going no where. He loves being outside. It doesn't take long for the fresh air to make him drift off to sleep, even if he just took a nap inside. He just gets so relaxed. We've started going for walks in the forest with Tyler. Teodor sleeps practically the whole time while Tyler & I look for little animals, mushrooms, nuts, moss & other neat forest things. It's a fun time.

It is still amazing watching Teodor grow and change every day. He is such a little miracle. The Lord has greatly blessed us. We just can't get enough of hugging & kissing him.
