Teddy hit the six week mark, and along with it, started giving us some real, social smiles. He was hinting at them last week, but this week, shows his grin with more regularity and purpose. Diaper changing time is prime time to catch his smile, but he has also been showing his gums when Pierce sings to him, and when sitting on our laps. I attached a couple of photos of these early smiles--they are so rewarding after weeks of work, and serious expressions. His little personality is starting to shine, too. I think Teddy may be my momma's boy. He loves having one of us stay near him while he plays on the mat, sits in his chair, or does tummy time. Unlike Pierce who would "play" independently doing his stations for 20 minutes or more, Teddy tolerates a max of 10 minutes unless we're there with him. I don't mind, since it means that he also loves to snuggle on your shoulder.
This past week, we also went to the Adirondacks with the Little family to celebrate Pops' 65th--which gave both Pierce and Teddy many reasons to smile. Pierce and Foster had a blast on the beach, playing in the backyard, and inventing new games in the house. It was a great vacation with everyone, and a fun excuse to celebrate Pops' milestone birthday!
