I'm so sorry we've left you all hanging for so long! Life gets busy and we don't have time to blog. At least, that's the excuse I'm using today!

Lots has happened since our last post on January 3. We got new neighbors; the house next door was finally rented out, after nearly 10 months of blissful quiet. We're reserving judgment on the new folks, but keeps your eyes peeled for a new blog post announcing that we're moving. :)

Owen is "walking." Wait, let's back up. You may not know yet that Owen is crawling; he started doing that during Christmas vacation in PA and he's been a little mobile warrior ever since. He's already pulling himself up and cruising along every couch, table and toy in the house. Every once in a while, when he's not thinking about it, he'll let go and just stand there, unaided, testing out his little legs. It's awesome!

He still doesn't wear shoes, but I have a feeling that walking unaided will be much more likely once Owen can wear shoes. Right now, he's got chubby little feet and can't fit into any shoes! We bought size 4 wide, but that doesn't help when his foot has half an inch of fat on top. I'm certain, though, that the fat pad will shrink the more he moves; in fact, we already see little dimples in his cheeks now that he's starting to lose some baby fat on his face. Super cute!!

The big 0-1 is coming up on April 1. I can't believe how fast the year has gone by!
