Updates...

Well, quite a bit has happened in the last few weeks/days. Owen started sleeping in his crib. It was really hard for me the first couple of nights. We received a camera baby monitor from my boss and its so AMAZING!! I don't know if I could live without it now that I have one. Its worth every penny. He had no problems adjusting at all, it was me that was having the trouble : )

He had his 4 month well baby check up a few weeks ago and he weighed 13# 8 oz. A little peanut! He is in the top 50% for his height. He will be 5 months on the 17th of February and then were going to tackle baby cereal. That should make for some cute pictures!

My dad made us a new bed and it arrived today! We had a queen but this one is a KING! Its so amazing. We absolutely love it. I cant wait to sleep in it tonight. We got a free box spring and mattress so we couldn't go wrong.

Here are some pictures of Owen I took today from my camera phone.

He has been trying to tackle sitting up on his own but hasn't quite mastered it yet. He has been pushing himself in mom's walker and really enjoys it. He also rolls over from back to front and front to back. Sometimes he actually scares himself when he does it. Its so cute. He is defiantly getting his own personality and is beginning to interact with us much more which makes for some fun times.

I bought some letters to spell Owen at Hobby Lobby to put above his crib but I painted them and didn't like how they turned out so mom came over today to help with the bed and decided to paint them for me. They turned out really cute. I will post pics of them when they are hung up as well. Thanks mom : )

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year to everyone... Its hard to believe that its already 2009 (well almost). Time sure does fly. I have no plans for tonight. Eric had to work so I am going to spend some time with Owen and just relax.

Tomorrow my friend Kelly is going to come over to visit (a visit way too over due!). Later on in the evening were going to get together with the Olson's for Steak and Lobster. Its somewhat of a family tradition (a pretty nice one if you ask me : ) I know I am sure looking forward to it.

Owens 3 Month photo shoot

Owen will be three months on Wednesday. I cant believe it. Aunt Kelly came over to take his 3 month photos and some Christmas pictures for our Christmas card. They turned out really cute. He rolled over for Eric and I today. He rolled over a month or so ago already (for mom and the Olson's) but we had not seen it. It was really cute and very exciting for us to see.

Owen in his reindeer outfit (Babies 1st Christmas) and his Christmas Outfit. He didn't stay happy for too long so the photo shoot was pretty short.

Its Beginning to Feel alot Like Christmas!

Last weekend Eric, Owen and I all went to get our tree. We always go to Sherwood to pick out the best one. It took less than 10 minutes and we were on our way back home. Eric helped me put the lights on it and then he was off to go hunting. Owen and I listened to Christmas music, sipped hot chocolate (well I did : ) and he watched me hang the decorations on the tree. After I decorated the tree I put up some of my snowmen. It took me all day to decorated. After all, I am a mom and have other obligations now... I started and finished all my Christmas shopping last weekend as well. Mom and I went on Black Friday. I wrapped all the presents and they are all under the tree ready for Christmas. With all the snow we have been getting, it sure does feel like Christmas...

Happy Thanksgiving....

I know its early but I am just too excited to wait.. So HAPPY THANKSGIVING! This is our favorite holiday. What don't you love about getting together with family, reflecting on what you are all thankful for and eating tons of great food.
Tomorrow is lunch at mom and dad's at 11:30 and then 1:00 starts "round 2". Its also Owen's First Thanksgiving so that's also exciting for us. Well, I hope you all have an awesome Thanksgiving.

First Snow

We got the fist snowfall of the winter last night and into this a.m. We got about 2-3 inches. The roads were terrible and by the time I got to work I thought I was going to have a nervous break down. I forgot how much I hate driving on bad roads. They weren't plowed so it was nauseating driving and not being able to see the center line or the sides of the roads. I made it to work with one minute to spare. That was the latest I have ever punched the time clock in the three years I have been there. I am always 15 minutes early. Well, not today. I even left 45 minutes early which should have been more than plenty of time. OH, well I guess I better get used to it since this is only the beginning...
