Owen's Measurements

Owen had his Well Child visit with the doctor yesterday. He weighed 24 lbs and was 33 1/2 inches long. That puts him at the 25 percentile for weight and nearly the 75 percentile for height - there's nothing to worry about regarding the difference, it just means we have to keep him fed (sometimes a challenge). Plus he just finished a growth spurt (he grew approximately 5 inches since the end of August) so he's long and skinny right now. I guess that explains why he's starting to wear some 24 month clothing. Other than that he's really healthy and is even just about to cut teeth numbers 13 & 14. And since we're talking about numbers today, he's wearing a size 6 shoe, and will probably be in a 7 or 8 by Christmas. So I think the moral of today is that little boys like to eat, grow, sleep, grow, play, and grow.

Owen's Antics

Owen was caught getting into things a couple of times this past week. First of all, he discovered that he can climb in to his toy drawer in his bedroom.

Then I caught him playing "Mommy at the Computer." Luckily it was off and he didn't cause too much trouble, this time : ).

Pumpkin Decorating

Last week for FHE we decorated a pumpkin.

Owen didn't know what to think at first, but as soon as Mommy showed him that the guts needed to come out, he jumped right in.

In goes the hand. . .

Out come the seeds.

Daddy did the carving.

Owen and Pumpkin smile for the camera!
