Staying Busy...

That pretty much sums it up around here. We're all busy as always. I've been out of town working for the past two weekends, so it seems like I've barely seen my family lately. We've been keeping busy also with getting the house ready for the market. And, Owen continues with being a welcoming host to all viral passersby. I meant to put up these pictures a couple of weeks ago, but we've just been too busy. I actually specifically pulled out the camera to take these photos so that I could show you what he's up to these days, but the blog lies pretty near to the top of Maslow's hierarchy, and thus the absence. Anyway, Owen has been experimenting with feeding himself with the spoon for some time; it's just that previously it amounted only to him holding and playing with the spoon so that there was no food left on it by the time it made it to his mouth. He's improved now, and he can do a really good job once you help him load up the spoon. He'll load it up on his own, but it usually is messier because he picks the food up with his hand so that he can set it in the spoon. Well, as you can see, he's very proud of what he can do.
