Let it snow!

Well, it finally snowed in Greenwood. The powers that be actually called school early Friday afternoon, which made for a chaotic Friday especially one that was going to be crazy anyway with all of the Valentine's parties occuring.

It really started coming down. Chris picked Owen up from CeeCee's and we watched it come down. Before we had dinner, we ventured outside.

Owen was not too thrilled with it. He really just did not care about it. I thought for sure he would be more involved in what was going on. He was much more interesting in eating when we came inside. He did watch for a few minutes. It does not help him that the snowsuit that his Gramps bought makes it hard for him to move at all. We tried again on Saturday morning. We decided to get out the wagon that we got for Christmas and take a ride around the neighborhood. Owen still was not too enthused about the snow, but was more interested when we took off his mitten and handed him a snowball. He did get irritated because he did not let it go before it go too cold. It was neat to watch though.

Sickly weekend, but other than that

We have had a rough weekend. Poor Owen has been sick all weekend. We had to visit the doctor today and ended up with a breathing treatment and some antibiotics. He has been a trooper though. I am so impressed by how resilient he is and how willing he is to still play, despite not feeling great. He does, however, prefer to take a nap on Mommy.

We have been working hard other than our sick weekend. Owen is sitting up regularly now. He has only toppled over a few times. I have found that it is important that I not overreact to him falling. He is also getting quite fond of switching toys from hand to hand. The pacy can easily find it's own way back into his mouth without a parent's help now, which is nice.

There has been no crawling yet, but we feel that we are not far. There are also no teeth yet. We have been drooling for the last 3 months which everyone assures us that it means he is teething. He could just be a drooler though.

We are also mischievous at times. I walked out of the room to work on dinner one evening and when I came back to look at Owen, he was playing but had worked his way partially out of his shirt. The humor of it can not fully be appreciated through this picture, but it does show what a funny little guy we have on our hands.

Owen is still eating quite well. We are using the high chair and enjoying it greatly. He really has no problem just sitting there to play while dinner is being cooked, even though we do not want it to become a place associated with playing. It is almost too cute to stop. I am sure that in time the banging will become more annoying, but for the time being we like it.
