It feels weird blogging after I've been absent for so long! But, I've got to get back on this horse. :) A lot has gone on in one months time. Christmas, New Years... those are big things. That time of year is busy for everyone, so I won't make excuses for myself. Or go on about how busy WE were. I'm just going share some of our moments with you.
We traveled to Texas to be with my family for Christmas. VERY long road trip, but we were able to stay for 10 days this time. We had a great time visiting with family, and getting to catch up with some long time friends... the 10 1/2 hour drive with a 5 month old was totally worth it!
We were celebrating Owen's first Christmas in Texas and he brought his first 2 teeth along with him! One was already through, and he worked the other one through while we were there.
If you look real hard you can see the first tooth, but I didn't get a great picture of it...
we were in the car driving while I attempted. :)
Santa found Owen at Grammy & Poppy's! He found great pleasure in looking at, and scratching the pretty paper. As well as chewing on bows! We woke up and had our little Christmas alone, then ended the day with Christmas with my family.
We had a great time in Texas and miss all our aunts, uncles, cousins, and parents/grandparents!
Once we were back in Missouri we celebrated Christmas with Chad's family on New Year's eve. We also had a good time with family here.
Since we've been home Owen has started cereal, and I've now introduced squash. He LOVES to eat... So there have been no problems with persuading him to do so.
This was his first time with cereal, no issues with that boy and food.
He does now have 2 teeth in and they're showing through more each day. I believe he is working on the next set now.
This little boy has become a chatter box, he now reaches for anything that has buttons, or that is electronic. He is sitting pretty well on his own now too... with a boppy around him, of course.
He is one happy boy, and we have a good time with him!
We do hope you had a great holiday season, and I'll try to come around a little more often in 2011!
