I cannot believe that Teage is 1 month old already. Time has flown by now. This is only the second time he has slept in his crib. We really need to get him in there full time now. Anyways, Teage is amazing! He has been able to hold his head up since birth. And it's only getting better. He can turn his head this way and that and just look around. He is starting to fill out some more. Look at those chubby cheeks! We missed his two week appointment. We just couldn't get the health care stuff going before then. But, I think he is doing just fine! Teage really has been a blessing. When the kids are just driving me nuts, I can go to him, and feed him and just relax and remember why I became a mother. On really hard days, it's sometimes hard to remember why you choose this path and why you love your kids. He helps me regain that focus and helps me to be a better mother to Jake, Zoe and Leo.
Really, so much has happened since he was born (almost exactly 1 month ago. Right about now, a month ago, I was keeping him in so my mother-in-law would be able to see him born, LOL). We spent his birthday and the most of the next day just enjoying him, then to work everyone went (all but me). We packed up the house, sold our washer, dryers and dishwasher, loaded up a moving truck and moved two states over to Oregon. Where we have been unpacking and getting use to Daddy being gone all day (it's been great though, Steve can set his own hours right now and be home by 5 every day) or out of town (so not looking forward to the next three weeks where he'll be in Anchorage, Alaska), meeting new people at church and at work (we had a great dinner with one of Steve's co-workers last night. He went to BYU and him and his wife have 1 1/2 kids and they only live a few miles down the road!), and just getting use to the area.
Through all this, Teage has been amazing! He went through his growth spurt early, while my mother was here. That was a blessing. That way, I could spend all day and night with him and not have to worry about my other kids because Grandma was here to help. And he was only two weeks old. Teage has just been awesome. Now, if only he would sleep in his crib at night. I'm ready to have my bed back!
Happy One Month Birthday Teage!!

Wow, he's so handsome! I think that last pic looks a lot like either you or steve...I don't know for sure! But he's definitely a Richins boy. Glad you are enjoying him so much! Newborns are so sweet. I hear you on getting him to his own bed - now that's what I call freedom!
Woah! Where did this month go because I swear you just had your baby yesterday! I can't believe how fast time flies. He's so cute!
He's filled out since I left too. I miss you all.
Love ya
Mom
Sweet baby! Oh so cute.
They do grow up much too fast, don't they???!
He finally is starting to look like a Richins baby! For awhile he just looked so different from all the other kids. He's adorable. Weird to think when we see him again he'll probably be walkin and talkin!
He is such a sweetie!
