New Windows

Well we are going to be getting new windows on Monday 01/05/2009. I am so excited. We have lead paint in our home around our windows and assumingly on the walls. So were replacing the windows, and eventually the front door. Then were going to paint. I am so excited. Our house is going to look so nice with new windows. No more pull out and crank windows..WOO HOO. Plus we are getting a bay window in our living room.

Owen is talking so good. Its unbelievable. He can say two or three words together at at time. Its so cute..like he said come here mommy the other day..WOW..he is not even two yet. He runs jumps plays climbs on the bed..ect..he is such a happy and healthy little guy.

Christmas went well. Had a lot of gifts. But we all three slept the new year away..ha..no big surprise..its been like that the past three years..

Will post pictures when Wes puts them on my computer.

Some cute things

The other day Owen and I were napping together and he woke up and said MAAAAAAMAAAA...and went back to sleep. He was so happy to see me there with him. He ended up sleeping an entire hour more.

I dropped him off at daycare last Friday and he grabbed onto my leg and I was dragging him around because he did not want me to leave.

He is already putting two or more words together and he has around 60-70 words that he can say. He is really good at all the face parts..like eyes, ears, nose, cheeks, chin, forehead, mouth.

We went to the Doctor on Saturday to get him his flu shot and when we pulled into the parking lot Owen said, doctor owey..and started to rub his leg..he knew what was coming.

He picks up his own toys, drinks out of a cup, sings songs with me, stacks blocks, does things on command..like jump, hop, run, walk.

He is just getting so BIG!!!

Owens visit with family

My boy is talking up a storm

OK so we have gotten into the repeat everything age. It is so cute. Yesterday his sippy cup spilled over and he told me that the applejuice went poo poo. LMAO!! It was too cute. Then he stubbed his toe and he made sure he told me and Wes all about it. He walked over to the object he stubbed his toe on and he pointed at his toe and pointed at the object and lifted up his foot and jibber jabbered..it was too cute. He is also pointing to objects in books and magazines and telling me what they are. WOW!! He is 19 months today..pretty good. He can count to 5, and then he says 9. He memorizes names and faces really well. He knows all the kids in his class (which by the way the kids in his daycare class call him Mr. Owen). He is just growing up so fast..this morning he pointed at a shadow and growled. He then proceeded to be frightened. It was too cute. He is becoming more self aware of things. This morning we all gave a great big family hug and a great big family kiss all together..too cute.

Last night we had a girls night out. Me, Tara, Sara, Darcey and Monica all went to Elkhart Hacienda. It was a lot of fun. And when I got home Wes had Owen put to bed. WOW..

Last weekend we went to Southern Indiana to visit my grandma. Owens great grandma. We drove down south about 7 hours worth to Montgomery IN and stayed ot the Gasthoff Hotel. Which is an Amish oriented hotel. Ate lots of good food. GREAT!! We had a lot of fun. Owen did AWESOME and got to meet his cousin (the one and only) Delaney. She is so cute. Looks just like Clint to me. I have so many pictures I need to load up..dating back to the county fair in July. I will get to that sometime soon. OH an at the Gasthoff we went on a carriage ride. It was a blast. Owen loved that. I fed a few horses and the one I liked the best was the one hooked up to the carriage. His name was Sonny and the driver was an Amish guy named Kenny..My great-Aunt Sarah and her daughter Summer came to have dinner with us. It was a good time.

Owen got his DTaP shot on Monday. Made his leg a little sore. But now all his shots are up to date. He is good until he is 2 when he gets the HEP A booster and then he is good until kindergarden. NICE!!!

Sara Smith is starting to show. How cute she is..even if she does not think so. Almost makes me want another one right now..lol..ALMOST..I am just enjoying Owen too much. I really just want him for a while longer before I have to share my love with another one. Not that I do not have plenty to share but it will be nice that Owen will want more independence when the next one comes along..and will hopefully be a helper to momma.

Ok my break has come to an end..way to quickly (Im working right now)

Will write more later.

Weight Watchers

Well all is good in the Hoogenboom household. Owen is doing great. He is talking so well now. He can say so many words and he put words with objects..like he knows what cheese is, and all the farm animals, his body parts--including the pee pee, birds, balloons, balls, ect...the list is endless. It is so cute. Today he was pointing up at the moon. It was pretty cute that he is so excited about the moon and airplanes..trains..boats...

He is starting to get independant big time..throwing mega fits when he does not get what he wants. He is also becoming a little shy around strangers..which I think is so cute.

Well for me started Weight Watchers again. So far 4.5 pounds..woo hoo. Want to get down to 155 Ibs before the next baby..yep I do want another one..

OK enough..

Owen is so cute and is doing great with the tubes. Has to take zyrtec due to allergies though.

09/27/08

A lot has happened in a month. On Sept. 9th Owen got the Tubes put in his ears. He was a champ!! He really did great with the entire procedure. I was so proud of him. So far so good too!! We had our 18 month check up yesterday and his doctor was pretty excited about the tubes being in his ears.

We got rid of Sasha last weekend. Well sorta..we let her go live with grandma and grandpa Murphy. She snipped and growled at Owen. I think she had just had enough of a young kid. She is now at the retirement home..LOL..Kelly said she is doing wonderful. I miss her but I know she is much happier being the queen again.

Work has been going ok..

Joined Weight Watchers today. Pretty excited to get back on the weight loss buss..woo hoo...

Not much else
