What's New?

Here's an update in a New York minute...

1. Owen has TWO teeth. Mom found the first one, so she's buying him a new pair of shoes. Apparently, that's how it works. The person to find a baby's first tooth buys the baby shoes. Weird, right?
2. Owen HATES peaches and bananas. I gave him peaches four nights in a row, and he just isn't in to them. I tried banana one night, and he kept spitting it out.
3. Owen is not a fan of Kraft Mac & Cheese. We tried that for the first time last night.
4. Owen's favorites are the greens...peas and green beans.
5. The O-Man can pretty much sit up by himself now...except on the changing table, of course.
6. I ordered a Maggie Moo diaper bag Thursday night. It should be here in about 6 weeks.
7. I went to a Tastefully Simple party and now I'm hooked!
8. I still have not written one thing in Owen's baby book. Shame, shame, shame...
9. I went to bed at 8:15 last night.
10. I spent about 7 hours painting the dining room today. It's still not done. Painting is hard work.
11. I entered a Biggest Loser contest at work and have lost 10 pounds in less than one month. I have 15 more to go...
12. Yesterday I wore my normal jeans for the first time since getting preggers last year. Hooray for climbing on and off the ladder. It's a great workout for the buns.
13. Joel has been shooting way too many geese. I'll eat goose nuggets, but I'm not really a fan.
14. Owen outgrew the infant car seat. Last weekend we put him in the big boy convertible car seat. It's such a pain. Our little 5 1/2 month old is wearing size 9 months. He ways a little over 19 pounds.
15. The BEST range in the WORLD will be delivered to our house on Monday. "Why is it the BEST range in the WORLD?" you ask. Well, that's because I bought it on CLEARANCE at Lowe's. It has two 6 in burners, one burner that can be 6 or 9 inches, one burner that can be 9 or 12 inches (YEAH!), and a warming zone. The oven is convection. For those of you who may not be aware, that means that Joel can bake three trays of cookies at the same time and have them all come out perfectly. It's beautiful. But until the kitchen is updated, the range will be living in the corner of the freshly painted dining room.
16. I just read an article that says a woman's hair and nails grow faster when she's happy. :)
