Little Laundry Helper

We were folding laundry and Owen was right there helping out. I guess it's not really helping when you have to spend time trying to keep him from messing up the folded clothes!

A Fever

Owen has been a bit under the weather with a slight fever. Yesterday Daddy took him to the doctor's to make sure nothing was wrong and they couldn't find anything. Today daycare called to say that he had a fever of 101 so I had to cut my work day short to go pick him up. We saw the doctor again but they couldn't find anything wrong, so they sent us to Children's to have some blood work done. Man, it was awful to watch nurses manhandle your baby and withdraw blood. He was going to need to have it done at his nine month checkup anyways, so now we'll have the results when we go in on Friday. I am chalking it all up to teething.

Anything with Buttons

Owen loves anything that has buttons on it. With two laptops and two desktops we don't have a shortage of keyboards in this house and Owen goes crazy for them. TV remotes and phones are also high on his list of things to go after with buttons to press. I guess Santa needs to bring some toys that have buttons!!!

Up and At 'Em

One minute he's crawling around, the next he's pulled himself up. This is the first time I've seen him do this. I knew he was close since he has pulled himself up on things that were waist high for him. Super funny that the first thing he went after was the tv remote. He takes after his father!

Oh Christmas Tree

Aunt Cat helped us get our Christmas tree up the day after thanksgiving, only after Dad spent too long trying to get proper working lights on it. This might be the earliest I've ever gotten our Christmas tree up. I'm just so excited to be celebrating with our little guy. Surprisingly, Owen isn't that interested in the Christmas tree. I've seen him crawl up to it a few times and touch a branch, then quickly crawl away. I guess he doesn't care for the feel of it. Super bonus for us since we don't have to worry about keeping him away from it.

Black Friday

We got up and out of the house early today to do some Christmas shopping. Owen was a good sport about it all. Who doesn't love eating breakfast in the car?

Owen's First Thanksgiving

Owen wanted to help out with cooking the turkey. Lately he has been really into playing with wooden spoons. Great for teething.

We had a fun, low key Thanksgiving with just the 4 of us. Yummy food and a relaxing day.

On a whim, we decided to see if Owen would like a taste of turkey. I tried giving him a tiny piece. He would stick out his tongue to taste it, then make the funniest look of disgust on his face.
