Hanging with sissy before bed.

Sitting by the fire with sissy!
Owen's first Christmas jammies!
Stud Muffin!
What we are working on for month 8:
-Crawling
-Sitting up confidently
-Sleeping through the night
-Using a sippy cup
Milestones:
-Weighs 20.4 pounds, height 28 inches.
-Sits up pretty good by himself.
-No longer enjoys getting in his car seat or having his clothes changed.
-Likes to suck on his lips and make noises with his mouth. We hear a lot of, "UMMMMMMM..."
-Pulled the letter "D" off of the computer. I didn't realize how often I used the letter "D" until it wasn't there any more.
-Scratches the back of his head, which is really cute.
-Still will not sleep through the night, but has been making it until about 4 a.m. without a bottle. We have pretty much figured out that he cannot go longer than 8 hours without eating. I just wish the 8 hours was the same 8 hours I want to sleep.
-Mommy attempted a hair trim above the ears and snipped the top of Owen's ear! No tears from Owen, but I cried.
-Loves trips to Target sitting in the cart and observing EVERYTHING! Dad says he is very nosey.
-Has been getting great report cards home from day care. Very independent there now.
-Owen really wants to crawl, he moves from place to place on his belly, but gets upset after a while.
-He is now eating 3 square meals a day, and does not like peas!
-Doesn't care much about the Christmas tree, but has been staring at the presents.
Like I say in every post the time just keeps on flying by. Every day is a new adventure for us. Today I was taking a shower and Owen was sitting in his bouncy seat like he has every day since he was born, but today when I pulled back the shower curtain to check on him, he was completely sitting up! So scary if he would have fell forward, even though he was strapped in. I guess from here on out he is confined to his crib or bumbo during shower time. It is the little things like this that show how much he is changing every day!
He loves more than ever to help his dad do chores. Especially lately since we SOLD our house! We have been having lots of inspections so we have had to really tidy things up both inside an outside of our house. No decision yet as to what our next move is. We may rent or bunk in with the Mahoneys for a while. Either way our goal is to save enough money to buy a home where are family will live for a long time. It is really a bitter sweet feeling. We love our home! It is going to be so hard to leave it with all of its charm, but we know the next step will put us in a better, bigger place. Escrow is supposed to close the end of January or first of February and we haven't packed a box. Just making sure everything pans out first before we load up.
Owen also went to see the Pediatric Opthamologist this week and he said it is in fact a clogged tear duct, but is hoping it will clear up before his first birthday. If not, a small surgical procedure will have to be done, but let's hope not. Until then all we can do is make sure to keep it clean.

Ashley, Owen is just going to love you someday for this that you do for him. You are so good about it. He is lucky to have you for his Mother and of course lucky to have Matt for his Daddy. He is growing everytime I see him. He is such a little love butt...NaNa
