My goodness, time is flying! I’m actually a bit sad to be posting about Owen’s 9-month birthday. Before I know it, he’s going to be a resentful teenager who only cares about video games. Sigh.

Merry Christmas and Happy 5-Month Birthday to Baby O! It really is the most wonderful time of the year. Five month olds are actually fun. It’s the age when babies finally do more than eat, cry, sleep and poop. Owen can pick things up on his own and entertain himself with his hands and his… Continue Reading
