Stomach Bug

Owen, Dan and I all got bit by the stomach bug this week. It started Monday with Owen getting sick. I got sick Tuesday morning, and Dan got it a little bit Tuesday night. When Owen started throwing up in his sleep last night, we took him to the ER to make sure he was okay. It was actually the best ER trip we've ever had. We were in and out in less than an hour, and some of that time was to make sure the anti-nausea medicine they gave him was working. It was a rough night, but we're on the other side now. And to celebrate, here are some pictures from the past week!



Such a boy, and a fashionable one at that!

Lovin' basketball, especially those UW Huskies!


Owen's not too sure about grass yet...


Cabin fever led to total destruction, cracker style:

He Walks!

Three months after he started crawling, Owen started walking! I took him to play at the community center yesterday afternoon. Another kid was in a little plastic car toy, and Owen pulled up to standing on the back. The kid took off in the car, leaving Owen standing in the middle of the room. So Owen chased after him, taking 4-5 steps before sitting down and crawling the rest of the way. He took another step in the play room, and a couple more at home for Daddy. Then, today, we had a birthday party with my moms' group and Owen was practicing more. Here is a little video of his new moves at 11 months, 1 week and 4 days old:

Owen's First Haircut

This weekend, Dan and I took Owen to get his haircut. It was finally in his eyes and kind of a shaggy mess - a cute shaggy mess, but a mess none the less. He did great! He sat on a sea turtle stool, watched a movie, and played with toys. We didn't want to cut it short; we just wanted to clean it up.

Here are some BEFORE pictures:









And here are some DURING and AFTER photos:















We also got a cute little certificate with the first locks of his hair to put in his baby book:



Our little baby is growing up so fast!
