Here are some pics... I wrote an update in the middle!
Owen and Grandpa
Owen and Auntie Noelle- I love this pic!
I love Mama's homemade baby food!
I think they might be related!

I have been pretty busy being involved in way too many groups... Pediatric parties (which I run), two playgroups, Bible study, Festival of Tree's, and trying to get things done at the house! So Owen and I seem like we're always doing something or going somewhere. It is good for me and for him, he loves being around other people and rarely fusses outside of home. He also decided he is going to be a better napper, which means that of course he wont sleep well at night. This kid just doesn't need a lot of sleep and is still happy and healthy! Mama is tired but he seems fine! Sleep is starting to get to me but I'm just not sure what to do. For naps I get him drowsy and shush him to sleep and he takes anywhere from an hour to 2 which has been great. But sleeping was great, only waking up once to nurse. Now it's like he's having nightmares sometimes, he'll wake up, but eyes are closed and just screams, sometimes he wont even nurse because he's so upset. I finally calm him down but he is up every few hours, either hungry or upset or both. I thought we had this sleeping thing down... never say that!!!!
Anyway, he is one happy boy in spite of it. He rarely fusses and pretty much never fusses if he is around people. He is VERY social. Smiles and charms everyone! Just like someone else I know... and married! He is loving the baby food that I make and sometimes refuses store bought baby food. Luckily I like making it and its good for him! He is just starting on the puffs/cherrios but doesnt quite get how that works. He doesn't have any teeth yet which makes gnawing a challenge! He doesn't like drinking out of a sippy cup but will drink out of a regular cup just fine!
He started crawling a few weeks ago! Needless to say there have been some changes in our house! Baby gate up all the time, outlet covers always in and I pretty much have to watch him all the time! He moves fast! He is just starting to pull himself up on things which he seems to be enjoying making us nervous while we wait til he falls! The most said phrase right now is our house is... "you're ok!"
Here are some pics! I will put up new ones soon, we went to the Orchard and pumpkin patch last week!
Out for a walk in his REI onesie, and Kat's hat.... he kinda looks like a robber!
