the ides of March

Well, it's been a couple of weeks since my last post...I've been a bad blogger once again. I haven't been very good about taking pictures the last couple of weeks, either, so I only have a couple to share....

Owen is still loving his big boy bed! Richie and I have been enjoying having more room to read bedtime stories each night, and Owen is doing a good job of staying in his bed, for the most part. Here he is all decked out a few nights ago...

Uncle Jeremy has left to go on tour until early April. A few night before he left, he did the honors of helping Owen use the potty, brush his teeth, and read stories before bed. It was too sweet to not take a picture!


A couple of nights ago, Owen started rubbing his elbow with his arm flexed and said, "Mommy, my muscles are growing!" Funny boy!

there goes my blogging streak!

Well, I was on a roll...but life has been a little crazy the last few weeks and it's thrown me off my game. I had to go to Memphis for my company's annual leadership conference, and it took me a week to even unpack! Here are a few highlights of the last few weeks....

Oops...Owen found the Fun Dip I had been hiding from him!

Owen and Uncle Jeremy playing a game on Jeremy's iphone....

....until a call came in!

Owen thought it was funny that we were all wearing gray shirts
One exciting change around our house is the addition of Owen's very own BIG BOY BED! We have been talking to him lately about if he wanted to get a bigger bed, and he kept saying that he did. So we did some research online and spent all day Saturday shopping for mattresses. Owen had a blast jumping on all of the display beds. Thankfully, the stores were very accomodating, and I'm sure they have kids come through day in and day out. Finally, after lots of testing out mattresses and a little wheeling and dealing, we came home with a nice, comfy full size bed for our sweet boy. We put it all together and put the bedding on, and Owen just hopped right in....
I'm telling you, this is one of the few times I can remember
Owen actually being excited to go to bed! :)

He slept great through the night and napped for over 2 hours today! And although it was sad to take his crib and changing table apart to put in the attic, it is awfully exciting to celebrate this milestone with our son. The crib I might miss...the changing table, not so much!
