Back to waking up 3+ times a night thanks to a stomach bug and a nasty cold. Oh this child is going to kill me with his sleep issues. He's lucky he's so sweet and so cute or we might ship him off....just kidding!
So we're back to crying it out for the next few nights. This kills me and I usually have to leave the house or sleep on the basement level.
Wish us luck that it takes just one night to get him back on track. Prayers needed!

Where did November go??
I was just looking at my last post from OCTOBER?? Really, could November have passed so quickly without even one post? Well it did for us. Let's see, just to catch you up on Mr. Owen. He is finally sleeping!! I know, everyone probably has a puzzled look on your face but Owen has never slept consistently through the night. Sure we would have our good weeks but then they would usually follow with more sleepless nights. Well, looks like O has learned to love sleep (I am probably jinxing myself right now). Next week's post will be...back to sleepless nights :) Something just clicked in him and now when you ask if he wants to go to bed, he says yes. We have even traveled to PA and NC to visit both G'ma's and he slept!! Good job little man, keep up the sleeping!
Owen is one busy little man, as usual but is now exploring and learning so much. He loves to read and will flip the pages and read to himself and laugh and get excited with he flip of each page. He knows some of the words from us reading to him every day so it's cute to hear his jibber-jabber and then hear "...doggie...woof.." He's at a really fun age and we love seeing him discover so many new things.
Owen is a dancer and let me tell you this kid has more rhythm than us. He bobs his head to every song in the car and no matter how many times I change the station, he picks up the beat and "dances" in the car to the music. And if I turn the music down, he says "...mommy, dance" which means, turn it back on so I can dance :) And out of the car, it is the funniest thing! Any time music comes on he gets so excited, grabs my hand and we dance together.
Owen is understanding so much and is saying a lot more words. We ask him questions and he says yes or no and shakes his head for both. Also, we give him choices and he picks what he wants, for example what he wants for dinner. And if he wants more of something that he's eating and he doesn't know what it is, he points to his plate where it was and says more. It amazes me how smart he is (well we think so anyway) and how fast he learns things. He is still eating like a champ and now has to have ketchup and honey mustard with EVERYTHING! He is just like his mommy, we love to dip things :)
Last time we weighed O and checked his stats was about a month ago when we were there for another ear infection appt. Yes, double ear infection :( He was 22.5 lbs and 32.5 inches. He is wearing 12-18 month clothes and most fit but some are still too big. Owen is almost 17 months old and pretty much in the 50th %-tile for everything.
Little things that make my heart melt...
...Owen loves to hold my hand
...Owen loves to give kisses and makes the "mmuah" sound when giving them
...Owen blows kisses to me and his girl friends at school then gets bashful when they smile
...Owen cuddles with me every morning for 15-20mins, just snuggled up in my chest
...Owen puts both arms around my neck, holds the back of my head and rubs his nose against mine
...Owen LOVES his daddy and after bath time runs to him and falls into his chest for snuggles
...Owen loves to read at night and now when I say "goodnight Owen" I have to say "goodnight Lovie" and he holds her up to give me a kiss.
...Ask Owen to show you "The Situation" and he holds up his shirt :) Ok that doesn't melt my heart but it's soooo funny!
...Owen gets so excited to read books especially Brown Bear and he loves to cuddle with his blanket and read.
...Owen loves to lay with Sadie, kiss her and rub her. He's such a sweet soul.
This little guy has my heart (can you tell)!!
