Planting Pumpkins


Nona and Papa brought pumpkin seeds for Owen to plant when they came to visit.  He had lots of fun planting them and then cleaning the picnic table with Papa.

Making sure the watering can was filled…

Week in Review: 4/15- 4/21

 

If you didn’t see the pictures earlier this week, we had our 20 week ultrasound on Monday the 15th!  Baby looked healthy.  After the appointment Owen and I went to the park where he befriended a little boy.  Here are a few quick shots

They were collecting pinecones to kick around the pavilion.

Another big breakthrough for Owen… he has officially completed his chart and learned to stay in his room!  So no more baby gate when he goes to sleep.

Hooray- Only took four months!

 


Daily Tidbit from the Week:

- Owen and Dad went and had sushi for lunch on Friday while I had an appointment.  When we were talking at dinner later that night, I asked Owen what he had.  He replied, “ I had tekka maki and kappa maki!”  This is a line from his Sushi book, and it was partially accurate; he did have tekka maki.  Then he proceeded to get his sushi set and bring me some :)

- At the ultrasound this week, Owen played I Spy (in the dark) with my OB and Dad while she was doing the ultrasound.  Then he told her that her (fake) plant needed water and sunlight, or it wouldn’t grow.  Then he told her to put her nightlight on because it was too dark!  She got a real kick out of him that day!

Hot Air Balloon Chase!

 

We were driving into town on Sunday when we noticed a hot air balloon- a very rare sight in our area.  So of course Owen said we needed to chase it!  He was yelling “Get that balloon!”  Finally we found it in a field!  It’s hard to tell from the pictures but it was pretty close.  Unfortunately as soon as we found somewhere to pull over, it started going back up again.  It was a very exciting adventure for all of us!
