ZOO







Owen and I went to the zoo last week and had a great time. Owen got to see the baby elephant doing exercises with his mommy and he got to ride the train. The elephants were using their big ears to be such good listeners (and I have expolited this concept as much as possible). Also, as you can see from the top pic Owen had a close encounter with the gorillas. He stood there and stared at that gorilla for about 5 minutes and getting Owen to do anything for 5 minutes is a miracle.

SO BIG

Owen has had a big couple of weeks. He went to his first baseball game (GO BATS). While he cared nothing about the game he had a great time at the playground and on the carousel. We ran into a friend of his from school and he played with her the whole time we were there. He also started his allergy shots. For those of you who don't know he had allergy testing a couple of months ago and we found out he was allergic to everything. He goes twice a week for 26 weeks then we go to maintenance from there. He is such a trooper for the shots.

Tonight was the funniest time. He asked to take a baby bath (I told him a while back that when he was a baby we gave him baths in the sink). Well, I think he is a bit to big for baby baths as you can tell by the pictures. He couldn't fit his booty in the sink. Other funny things.... he has been calling his dad "Greg" and "Babe" because that is what I call him. Also, this weekend he started calling me Amber. I quickly reminded him that I am MOMMY!!! He transitioned into the 2 year old room at daycare and is doing well. He has lots of friends in there and in the morning on our way to school he says "I go school....school is cool". I love this kid.

On the baby front all is well. We found out that it is a girl so I have been buying dresses like a mad woman. I went to a yard sale the other day and spent $30 on dresses (in yard sale dollars that equals $300). OK.... I know I know..... here is what you are really here for..... more pictures of Owen.
