...we said "I DO!"





Here we are today - still in love! Happy Anniversary Baby! I love you!

Ten Months

WOW! This month has just about gotten away from me! I'm sorry it has taken me so long to post his ten month update. Owen continues to grow like crazy and changing so much everyday. He is quickly losing the "baby" look and is truly my little man. This boy is on the move constantly! He is no longer happy sitting still and has to be in the walker, scooting around on the floor, or his latest trick - pulling up on the furniture and anything upright! He can walk all the way around the edges of the pack and play and pulls up and sits down all on his own. He will run you over in the walker so watch out! :) He is starting to eat more and more table foods and enjoys feeding himself finger foods. He main vocabulary is still "UH OH" & "DA DA" and signs hello/goodbye and more. Sometimes he gets frustrated with "more" and just grunts until he gets what he wants! He is a wonderful sleeper and takes a generally takes a nice 2 hour nap in the morning. He's not much for sleeping in the afternoon though because he is more interested in what his big sister is doing usually. He is definitely my easy going, laid back child which is wonderful after dealing with the "drama queen" all day! His favorite toys are balls, blocks, and pretty much anything he can get into his mouth. I can't believe his first birthday will be here before we know it!

Here's a quick look at the other monthly pictures:

Pink Eye

We have been a relatively "well" household for quite a long time with the exception of a recent string of "crud" that has come through. Now Katelyn has "pink eye"! YUCK! I noticed on Sunday afternoon when she got back from Gigi's shop that her right eye was really red. She commonly has some darkness under her eyes which I think are mild allergies. I gave her some Benadryl thinking that would help. Well even after another round of Benadryl still no change and even getting a little worse. I called the doctor's office and Dr. Wood has prescribed some drops. She said she should be good to go back to school on Wednesday. When I told Katelyn that her eye was "sick" and that she had "pink eye" she kinda thought that was cool being that pink is her favorite color and all! I tell you this has not slowed her down one bit!

First Tooth!

Well, it's official! Owen's first tooth has finally broken through! I noticed it first around February 10th but it has taken me this long to get a good picture of the little bugger. Owen proudly shows it off now when you tell him to smile! I love it!

Dr. Seuss - Read Across America

For the past week schools across America have been celebrating the birthday of Dr. Seuss. FBC CDC invited the parents to come read to the class. I accepted the opportunity last Wednesday and had such a wonderful time. I read "One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish" and got so tongue-tied before it was over! The kids seemed to love it. They were so attentive to every word. Cody's mom, Stephanie, also read that day. On Friday, their class read "Green Eggs and Ham" while everyone got to have a taste. Katelyn said it was "GOOD!"

SNOW!!

Oh the South is buzzing after a recent weekend of totally wild weather! Never before have I experienced 70 degree temperatures on Friday, storms and tornado warnings on Saturday, and then wake up to SNOW! on Sunday!! It was a wild weekend indeed and we definitely enjoyed the snow part. Katelyn had an absolute blast playing with her cousins, Cameron & Hannah. Owen was just as content watching out the window by the warm fire with Poppy & Gigi. Here are a few images from our fun day.




Katelyn and I tried making a snowman but she would rather throw snow at me instead.


She did a great time making a snow angel...



We went next door to Chad & Stephanie's house to sled down the hill. Their dog, Tiger, was so funny to watch as he would snap at the falling snow.


It took Katelyn a little while to warm up to the idea that going down the hill would be fun but soon she got the hang of it!


Cameron got the bright idea to ride the kayak down the hill (right toward the LAKE!). The first time he did it the kayak went right into the lake. Luckily he jumped off first. This is his second trip down. I have to admit it looked pretty fun!
One day maybe I can find the time to figure out how to merge all these videos together! :)

The snow was gone not long after lunch. It was a perfect day! It was just enough to play in and was gone about the time we all got tired of it!
