January Cold

Recovering from our trip to denver has included recovering from colds. Our whole house has been sick. This is Owen's very first cold/cough and it's been unbearable! He is so pitiful with his runny nose and hacky cough. We are very fortunate to have made it almost 18 months without ever dealing with this so i can't complain too much. We took him to the dr on wednesday and she daiagnosed him with the crud. Only in alabama! He's not acting sick other than the congestion, he still moves at lightening speed.

Quick owen milestones update: He is 1.5 years old today. He is getting great about leading us around by the hand and he is learning soooooo much every day. He can put on his own shoes and socks, shirts over the head, and pants on the legs (but can't pull them up or get his arms throug yet). He wants to feed himself all the time now and has no interest in any food if we try to feed it to him. We are definitely entering the terrible twos and the battle of wills early but i think we're all going to make it through just fine. :)

Oh! We opened the store on Tuesday! It's been a slow week as to be expected but the people who stop in all buy and love everything! We are very excited about it and will start advertising when we feel everything is up to par and exactly how we want it. Babies (owen included) cry when they have to leave the store, so that is a great sign of how much fun stuff we have.

Hmmm...kitchen news. We ordered our cabinets earlier this month and they should be in in a couple of weeks. We bought a new dishwasher last night. We still need to get the microwave, sink, and tile for the backsplash then we'll be set. We will only be w/out use of our kitchen for about 2 weeks, the time between the cabinets and the countertop to come in.

Enough of this boring post!

One last thing: Tomorrow will mark 31 weeks in this pregnancy. WHERE is the time going!?! According to our latest updates, baby should weigh around 3.5 lbs and be @ 18 inches long. He/she kicks like a madman/woman all day and all night so I can believe they are getting that big but it's still hard to comprehend. Owen will be a big brother before we know it.
