Owen's 1st Christmas

Santa Claus has come and gone and Owen did pretty good for his first Christmas...of course I guess its hard to be bad when you've only been around for three months! There were lots of toys from grandparents and hugs and kisses as we made the rounds for Christmas, and he gave Santa a run for his money on the "bowl full of jelly" belly when he laughed.Yes, a full blown laugh to go with that awesome smile!That is the best Christmas present a parent could ever ask for.....

Now as we wind down on 2008 and all the wonderful events it has held we're looking forward to the adventures that 2009 will bring us as we take this everchanging journey down parenthood.We hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and wish you an awesome 2009!

Christmas cheer is in the air.....

Well its time for another update and a lot has happened in the last few weeks. His first Thanksgiving went very well,we spent a quite day at home and I cooked a nice little dinner for us three . The next weekend J.W. had planned a awesome little getaway in Fredricksburg for us as a birthday present to me, so Owen had his first "weekend" stay at nana and pop's. J.W. and I had a great time shopping, visited a winery or two, and stayed in the cutest little cabin from the 1800's.In all it was a great birthday weekend and it was kinda nice to have some one on one again, but I did miss my little man like crazy.

Other than that, we had our first set of shots this last week and took it relativly well-the doctor says before long we can start giving him a few veggies once a day. Owen weighed in at 15.4 and was 24 1/2 inches long. He's still working so hard on his laughing, but he's got that melt your heart smile down to a T. Yesterday he seem to have realized that he has a voice and can talk....because from about 5 o'clock on last night that is all he did, and obviously whatever he was jabbering about was of the utmost importance and demanded our full attention!!I can't belive Christmas is a week and a half away-the shopping is nearly done and we managed not to go crazy buying up the stores for Owen. I'm excited to get up on Christmas morning and enjoy the two biggest blessings of my life......this year will be the best Christmas we've ever had and I hope everyones is as bright and joyful as ours will be......Merry Christmas to you all!!!!
