Owen's 1st Christmas

Sorry it's been a while since I've blogged. I've been enjoying my time with Owen before I go back to work. I will probably just do monthly posts with an occasional post when we do something worth blogging about from now on.

We had a wonderful Christmas. We spent the morning with my family having breakfast and opening gifts. Then we went to Marietta/Roswell and spent the rest of the day with Rich's family eating and opening more gifts. Owen was exhausted and very fussy by 7:00. He made out pretty well gift-wise on his first Christmas.

That's not even all of them… I found a few more things after I took the picture that I forgot to include!

Owen's Milestones (weeks 10-12)

- You met aunt Laurie and uncle Gene, your godparents Mary and Sam and all mommy's coworkers.
-You've found "your voice." You like to make all kinds of sounds… especially when you play!
- You can grip fingers, but can't hold a rattle yet.
- You really like to be held up with your feet on a surface like you are standing and bounce.
- You are taking more naps during the day and sleeping well at night. We are starting to be on more of a schedule.

New stockings this year.

In case you didn't realize it in the picture above… Owen is actually in the picture with all his presents.

I read the Elf on the Shelf book to Owen. So excited to start doing it next year!

I think he actually listened and looked at the pictures.

Happy New Year to everyone reading my blog. I think the next few months are going to be stressful and exciting. As I go back to work (part-time), I have to figure out how to balance work with being a mom.  Also, we are getting the house ready to sell in just a few months and moving to a bigger house in the burbs! Lots to look forward to!

 Until next time…
