July 2007

Hey Everyone,

Sorry, its been a little nuts. After what seemed like weeks, no - months of being homebodies, we actually had a busy schedule.

Andrew continues to work on projects around the house - although no one seems to notice the improvements....I guess this means that all his hard work makes the house looks seamless and closer to being "finished". Andrew also went to a Atlanta for business - yup, he visited the main headquarters for Coke! I (Des) was quite jealous and mighty exhausted from being Owen's sole caregiver for a whole 3 nights and 3 days. Our little family is very happy that we're all back together again.

As for Owen, he is growing up faster than I would like. At least his hair is starting to fill in again. We finally caved in and started giving him very small amounts of rice cereal. It was just too cruel....he would scream and have tantrums every time he saw us eating. He was already practicing his "chewing". That, and the fact that he was wanting to nurse/bottle feed every other freaking hour was getting ridiculous...so, he started eating his "liquidy-mush" 2 weeks earlier than the doctor wanted....but at least now, everyone is happy.

Owen is now able to sit up for very short periods of time. He is still wobbly, but with more practice, I expect he'll be able to play sitting up in the next few weeks. So far, spreading out pillows seems to lessen the blows when he loses his balance and face-plants.

As for me....I try to get my run in at least once or twice a week. Speaking of which, its a lovely day today and Owen's taking a nap so I guess I should be running now....but on with the blog.

Okay, here are the pictures you've all been waiting for:
