Playing in the Shaving Creme

Hannah had a great time practicing her letters and shapes in the shaving creme!

I'm NOT ment to be a single parent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As some of you know Ben has been in Baltimore, MD on an AMA trip all week! I have figured out it stinks to be a single parent! So kudos to those of you who have to do it! I am lucky because Ben will be home tomorrow! Yay!!! Owen's sleeping "schedule" has been completely messed up and I feel like a zombie! He was only waking up 1x a night, but the first night Ben was gone he woke up every 3 hours, plus Hannah woke up 3x that night because of the rain. The next night, Owen woke up every 2 hours! Ack! It was getting worse! I told Ben when I talked to him that I was going to spike Owen's bottle! Ben asked with what? I said rice cereal of course! (Don't worry, Dr. Beahm gave me the ok!) That helped soooooooo much! Owen slept from 10pm - 6am! WOW!!!!! But then he repaid me by not napping at all on Friday! He finally fell asleep about 5:30 pm! Then I kept going back and forth do I wake him or let him sleep? Right now it's about 8:45 and I didn't wake him! We will see how much sleep I get tonight! Thank Heavens Ben comes home tomorrow!!! Thanks for reading my complete rambling....I'm tired! :)


Update: Owen woke up at 11:15 pm! I got him in his jammies and fed him his bottle and he went right bake to sleep until 5:00 am! He ate more and then slept until 8:00 ish!

Owen is Three Months Old!

Owen is 3 months old today! We think he is around 13 lbs. (We did the stand on the scale holding him thing.) He teased us the other night by sleeping through the night 1 time! It hasn't happened since! Owen loves to play with his stuffed white dog, his keys, and discovered the frog teether today. He likes it because it vibrates and makes his gums feel good! He is starting to drool all over the place, so I am guessing he is starting to teethe.

Our Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

We headed over to the Smith Family Farms Pumpkin Patch today. We decided to go because the weather was so nice! We had a great time! It was a lovely day!

Ben fed the goats! Hannah was scared because they came right over and took a big bite! Even Ben was a little fearful for his fingers!
