Through the tunnel we go

We looked for a tunnel during Christmas but couldn't find anything. Target just put their spring stuff out so we got one for Owen. We thought he would love it since he likes to crawl under things so much. I don't know if it's b/c it moves or what, but he really didn't care for it at first.

I finally got in one end of it this morning and coaxed him through with some fave toys. By the time he went down for his a.m. nap, he was going through on his own without our encouragement.

Almost Walking

Nobody can complain about the lack of posts today! I have wanted to post new videos, but I couldn't find the cord to go from the camera to the computer. It showed up today so here you go...

He said what?

I meant to put this on one of the other three posts I made today, but completely forgot. Owen has said mama, dada and baba for months. Other things he has said, whether they have stuck or not have been:

bye bye
hey
duck
pup-pup
moo
daddy (although it sounds more like da-deeee)
mmm-hmm

And in the last few days he has mastered the use of "uh-oh".

Rolly Pollies

We went to Sam's 4th birthday party last weekend at Rolly Pollies. Owen didn't really know what to think, but I sure did enjoy myself.

Owen really likes the dogs now...


And loves getting under things...

It's about time this kid learns to feed himself

Of course I am just joking. Owen has been holding his bottle for a while, but a few days ago we decided to let him try and feed himself too. He can't really scoop with the spoon yet, but if we scoop it for him he can put it in his mouth.

Q & A ...sick baby

Question:

How can you tell if your 10.5 month old is not feeling well?

Answer:

He stops crawling for more than 10 seconds and lays his head on the floor, or prefers to lay with mommy or daddy in the chair.

Yes...Owen and mommy are sick. Brig started to get a scratchy throat on Sunday and it has slowly been creeping in on her. I noticed Owen's breath was funky on Tuesday night and thought he must be getting sick too. Sure enough, he woke up several times that night whining and went back to sleep a few minutes later. Wednesday morning he sneezed and let's just say our suspicions were confirmed. He also had a major blowout yesterday afternoon. All I'll say about that is Brig was really glad I had just gotten home from work b/c it required both of us to resolve. Needless to say, Owen got a bath early last night. He also had a slight fever, but we gave him some Tylenol and that seemed to take care of it. We hooked up the humidifier and he did sleep better last night.

Hopefully mommy and baby get well soon...and let's hope daddy gets to skip this round.
