Owen Goin’

It is amazing the changes that happen with each week and even day to day. Just a few days ago Owen could barely crawl, struggling, grunting, and log rolling to get to his next unexplored area.  Now he is scooting around army style while working up a sweat and enjoying every minute of it.

He can even sit up with ease as I found out when I checked on him in his crib after a nap. Expecting to just see the back of his blonde head playing with his crib toy, I was unexpectedly (and happily) greeted with a toothy, devilish smile. What I found was a little boy sitting up in his crib just playing with his toys to pass the time.

15 minutes later we lowered the crib to try to stay one step ahead of the boy… we are trying. This weekend’s agenda will be an adventure in baby proofing, that is for sure. Enjoy the two videos below, the videos will need some time to load on slower internet connections.


Technical Difficulties

Well the end of August seemed to go by quick and with it, brought some unexpected changes. The picture was taken from my computer which reverses the image. I have a broken left wrist and separated/fractured right elbow. It could have been a lot worse, but you should always listen to your instincts and quit while ahead.

Emily has been more than wonderful, picking up the slack and I mean that literally. I can basically hold a 1/2 gallon of milk as of today, progress! To make matters worse, Owen (and now Emily) has been very sick and teething, so he now has his top two teeth coming in and crawling better and faster each day.

Getting stuck under the table, no problem! Wedging myself under the rocking chair, no problem! Pulling and pushing tables out of the way, no problem!

Owen… you are lucky you are cute!

Looks like this Labor Day weekend is going to be nice and I am looking forward to spending a somewhat relaxing weekend with the family.

Here is a random picture of the place that bit me…. I owe Emily some major spa time, she deserves all the praise I can give her!
