Germs... YUCK!

So we got to experience one of the drawbacks of daycare last week... GERMS!  Owen woke up last Friday morning throwing up and puked for a good 16 hours!  Poor little guy has been fighting off a cold for a while now and to have to have a tummy bug on top of that was not fun!  We thought we were in the clear once he stopped throwing up early Saturday morning... wrong!  Sunday morning both Blake and I started feeling queasy... and sure enough we had gotten it too!  Sunday was a nightmare!  Trying to take care of a baby while you're feeling like death is not something I recommend!  I was laying on the floor with him (I couldn't do much more) wondering how parents who are sick take care of their little ones!  Well, we all survived and are now feeling back to normal!  Woohoo!  Wonder how long we'll be in the clear for?  ;)

School has been going great for me, and Owen seems to really like daycare.  He's always smiling and happy when we drop him off and pick him up.  They sing songs, read books, do tummy time, play with all sorts of toys and it's great socialization for him that I'd have a really hard time recreating on my own.  He's in the infant room with babies six months and younger.

Ready to go on our first day of school!

A while back we were feeding Owen and discovered he has a new trick!  Blake was barely holding the bottle, and Owen put his hands on it so Blake let go... We ordered him two sippy cups this morning!  He's also been much more intent on watching us when we eat.  He just stares at us - it's really funny!  Not too much longer before we can try feeding him some rice cereal!  With knowing what a little piggy he is I'm sure he'll take right to it!

My new trick!

Owen turned 4 months old this month!  MAN time sure does fly!  He's so amazing I can't wait to get home and snuggle with him every day!  He's such a happy baby - always smiling, cooing or giggling and  only fusses when he wants food or a new diaper.  We're so thankful for our happy Bubba!  Blake always told me, "Hard pregnancy means an easy baby".... Well, isn't that the truth!

Sweet happy boy always full of smiles!

Four months old and playing with my Oball!
