Week 27 and heading into the final trimester! I just can't believe this baby is coming so soon. It has been quite the mover and shaker in my stomach. Not sure if that means we are in for quite a ride with this child?! Overall I am feeling good but not enjoying this beautiful, hot and humid weather.
Owen enjoyed some yogurt and his first ice cream sandwich. Well, I think he enjoyed some of it even though most of it was just all over him. He definitely does not mind getting messy one bit.
Last week we got away from reality and heading north to Michigan along lake Michigan in the northern part of the state. It was absolutely beautiful weather in the 80's, sun every day and no humidity. It was just the break from work, heat, and life in the fast lane that we needed. Every day we slept in, went to the beach, and just enjoyed not being on a schedule. Although by dinner time Owen was suffering from not sticking to his nap schedule and was usually in desperate need of sleep. But he proved that he is a beach baby! Loving the sand and lake and everything about the beach life.
The only hat we have been able to get Owen to wear for a decent amount of time recently was this cowboy hat. Not sure where he gets it from because Ryan and I definitely are not country fans. But he loves his Papa and seems like he will do anything for him!
A day in Fishtown. We had a lot of fun checking out this cool little Fisherman's village and buy some Petoskey stones!
Ryan and I went for a hike with Lynn and Drew up and down a sand dune and then walked along Lake Michigan back to Drew's parents' house. It was a beautiful hike, with wonderful scenic views of the lake. We said next year Owen is hiking with us and can slide down the dune. He seems to love to climb these days so we figured it would be right up his alley.
This was at the top of the dune before making the plunge down. The guys sprinted down while Lynn and I closed our eyes fearful of them tumbling down amongst the rocks. Lynn and I slowly walked down the dune.
It was quite the hike down. We look like ants down at the bottom from the top of the dune. I said we needed to take pictures so that I could show my Nona. Should would have a heart attack knowing that I hiked down this pregnant. But I survived and so did the baby.
Owen was always excited to make the trek down the trail from Drew's parents' house to the lake. He knew we were heading toward the water. He never wanted to be held, but instead wanted to walk like a big boy. Even if it meant a very long walk to the water! He is becoming more and more of a little man, wanting to do things on his own and becoming more independent. It is cute yet hard to see because my little baby is turning into a little boy. He will often swat our hand away because he wants to do something by himself.
Owen has become quite the handy man. He loves tools and anything that has a cord or can plug into things. Here he found a cabinet large enough for him to sit in and he used my phone charger and was trying to plug it into the hinge on the door. He sat in here for quite a while babbling away to himself as he worked on the door. I swear he is going to be an engineer or something along those lines because he is constantly taking things apart, putting things together and trying to plug everything into one another. He is so busy, he makes me exhausted by the end of the day, but it is a good exhaustion watching my little boy explore the world. I look forward to seeing him and his new sibling explore together in the next few years. It is amazing what children can do from such a young age and the things he understands and figures out on his own.
