So much to tell...so little time. The boy is busy! He's playing with his toes, eating vegetables, trying to sit up, trying to roll over and possibly cutting some teeth. It's constant activity around this house and we wouldn't trade it for the world.
We have a nice family weekend planned (sad...it's only Tuesday and I'm looking forward to the weekend). Dennis, Kiana and Kayla are coming over Friday evening and we are going to have a pizza night....create your own. Should be interestingly funny because I'm going to try to be creative with the toppings. Then on Saturday....we have a free day! Looking forward to that! On Sunday, we are going to Ava Tonander's birthday party. She's going to be three years old. It's hard to believe that she has been with Mike, Ty and Sophie for almost a full year already.
I took Mr. Smiley to the new Minneapolis library downtown last week and we got some movies (some for me and some for him). He loves the movies that they have for babies...I guess they are educational but they just seem oddly scary to me....he loves them though! He usually watches about 15 minutes of one of these movies a day..in the morning as I finish getting ready. He gets pretty excited about them. We also went to the zoo last week....he seemed to like the monkeys pretty well. I can tell he's going to be a monkey himself. He wants to be busy all the time. Looking forward to what all he has in store for us.
One funny thing that Owen has been doing for a while now is he helps us change his diaper. When we unsnap his pants his legs go straight up in the air. Diaper comes off and we put a new one underneath him...as we pull the front of the diaper up to fasten it, he puts his legs down and shoots them out really fast so they are perfectly straight. It's like he knows that it makes it easier for us if he does this....it is pretty cute and he is really consistent. I guess we do praise him for helping us...so, maybe that's why he keeps it up. Regardless, it's the cutest thing ever. Oh the little things that make us parents happy..........we just love him.
Owen's shout out this week is to Great Grandma Jerry! Owen says hello and he enjoyed talking to you on the phone the other night. He'll be calling you again very soon. We love you lots!
