Busy busy busy but not sure what we have been doing.

Life with Owen has definitely become more interesting now that he is mobile. He is a big fan of chasing the cats (see video above), pulling up the floor mats and sticking his hands in the cat food bowls. We have done some minor childproofing but haven't gone too overboard with it. Mostly, we just watch him a lot. Also, we now have a tooth. It is SHARP!

Miles is doing great and Lucas is adapting well and becoming quite the protective older brother. Owen LOVES him but I am not sure he realizes that he is a person yet, or something to pet and chase like the kitties. Which, will make my new role as Miles's Nanny 2 days a week interesting.



Owen is really into music these days. We borrowed some of Lucas's instruments from when he was a baby and O is playing with enthusiasm. The best is when he and Daddy rock out together, Steve on the guitar and O on his egg shaker.




We have started doing a lot more outings with Owen also since I am now working less. We go to book babies at the library, recently went to the zoo with friends and I am looking into swimming and Art babies with Portland Parks and Rec. He is really enjoying leaving the house and even is letting me know when he is ready to go...crawling between the door and the stroller while whining seems to be his way of communicating it is time to go do something fun.





With the increased outings and exposure to other babies, poor Owen also has now had his first cold. So far we have had 3 nights of extra fussy sleeping and a snotty nose but it could have been a lot worse. I am hoping Owen inherited his Mom and Dad's super immunity.

We are looking forward to another visit from Grandma Mary and Grandpa Dan, his first pumpkin carving contest and another trip to the beach. I am also very excited for Halloween, I finally may start enjoying the holiday.
