Wow, where has them time gone! Since my last post we have almost officially sold our house (tomorrow, fingers crossed), moved out to my parents, and been to Hawaii. We also celebrated the best Christmas ever, with Owen. So many memories, but the time just goes way to fast! So what do we have going on in Mr. Owen's life:
Milestones:
-Currently weighs 20.4 pounds...I think height is 28.5 inches.
-Eats breakfast, lunch and dinner. Is starting to try "bigger" people food. Had his first ice cream in Hawaii (sugar free strawberry) and shaved ice in Hawaii. Absolutely loves pizza crust and fell asleep in his high chair tonight eating some.
-Started the month off not sleeping through the night...again. But last night we were SAVED and he slept the whole night for the first time since September. Yeah, that's right people! When you think you want to have a child, realize lack of sleep will definitely be an issue.
-Owen cut his first tooth on our first night in Hawaii, which scared the holy bejesus out of us. He woke up in the middle night with a hoarse cough and first fever ever. Had to wake up Grandma Carol and get a veteran mom's advice. In the meantime...I was hunched over the toilet in the bathroom because I jumped up way to fast and it was smokin' hot in our condo.
-Owen loved the sand between his toes and was an angel baby on the plane and during the whole trip.
-We found out Owen has quite the fascination with cars and anyone who will give him attention in a public place (cute waitresses especially).
-Loves to play with anything electronic!
-Did I mention he also learned to say "Mama and Dada!" It melts my heart!
-He went to the doctor today after suffering from a lingering cold since December to find out he has a double ear infection. Dr. Hoffman found it quite amazing that he made it almost 9 months without any antibiotics.
-He also started the army crawl. He tries so hard and he can get anywhere you want him to, but you have to put a cell phone in front of him. Ask me why...???
So somehow, miraculously, through month 8, Matt and I have managed to completely pack our entire house pretty much by ourselves. I will have to admit, that the entire inside was packed by myself with the exception of a few boxes. Thankfully, my son allowed me to work my fanny off why he took wonderful naps during my 4 week vacation. However, Matt has the muscles of the family and loaded and unloaded all of the boxes into storage as well as the appliances. I can't leave that without saying THANK YOU to Mike and Eric Mahoney for helping us move. Also, to Carol for taking half of our stuff to her house and to my mom for watching Owen for us that weekend! We are ever so appreciative and would do the same for anyone. Hopefully, we will find ourselves in a newer home over the next few months...one where we will make many more good memories!
