I am writing this post on Labor Day Weekend and wondering where the month of August went. I last posted after returning from Family Week at the end of July and another month has already come and gone. We are 3 weeks away from the due date of the birth of our second child. This is the first Labor Day weekend since we have been together that we have been home. It has been nice though to get last minute things done around the house, like pack my hospital bag and make some freezer meals for the weeks ahead when cooking will be the last thing on my mind. Hopefully our next post will be pictures of CavBaby #2!
Owen is getting so big, he is now definitely turning into a little boy. He constantly swats our hands away so that he can do things on his own. He can actually vacuum with the Shark Vac on his own, I love it!!!
We did some canning of pickles again this year and they turned out delicious again! We actually just finished our last can of pickles from last year this past weekend.
I have made plenty of pasta sauce from the wonderful tomatoes. However, it has been hard to keep up with Owen eating all of the cherry tomatoes out of the garden as we are picking them. But I can't complain because it is a wonderful snack for him. Although when he eats rotten or green tomatoes that is probably not the best thing!
This was week 33! Oh how I am so big!
Owen is quite the climber, he is like a little monkey. And for anyone that is around Owen for a short amount of time you know that he is constantly falling and getting right back up at em'. Well he fell off this box laughing hysterically and then got right back up on it. He is such a stinker! He will have me and the baby running after him this fall.
Week 36 Bump! Only a few more weeks to go.
Nothing like y two boys vacuuming for mom on a Saturday morning. Like father, like son! Makes the wife/mom happy!
We enjoyed Grayslake's Summer Daze with our neighbors, Owen's good buddy Jackson. Many firsts for Owen- his first carnival, his first giant slide and his first carnival ride on the dragon.
Owen has started to get an attention span of about 5 minutes when it comes to watching Super Why on the IPAD. I love watching his face when we first turn it on and the theme song starts playing. He gets a giant smile and he gravitates toward the IPAD and his buddy Wyatt. It is pretty scary also that a 17-month old knows how to use the IPAD. I think he was teaching grandma how to use it when she was watching him one day. Pretty soon he will be teaching me things to do on it.
Owen with some of his Jesionowski cousins. He had so much fun playing with all of their big boy toys.
Owen and Cousin Victoria. At one point he was eating off her plate. I sure hope he learns his manners around girls before he gets older!
I can't imagine loving another child as much as I love this little guy. But I am sure my heart will make room for another child in just a few short weeks. Owen has grown into such a loving little boy. Yesterday I left to run an errand and asked him for a kiss. He came over to me with his mouth wide open and came up to my mouth. My heart melted at that moment, although he needs to learn eventually to not go in for a kiss with a big wide open mouth. He might scare a future wife off!
