We started soilds today

Today Owen had his first taste of rice cereal. He seemed to like it. He smeared it all over his high chair. Very cute. Will post pictures of it here soon. Yesterday he had his six month shots. Poor baby. The doctor seemed to think everything was great. He also said he was very proud of me for waiting six months before I gave him any solids. He said most people cave. I think it is so easy to just feed him so solids seems like a pain in the rump to me..but must be done. OH WELL.. Can not wait until Friday..I love my three day weekends..I love being with my baby boy....

Six months old

Well today is Owen's half birthday. How cute is that!! We went to get his pictures taken this afternoon. It was stressful just like the last time. Wes gets so MAD at the way they rip you off because their prices are so high and they will not let you have the actual digital picture. I do see his point. But I love the pictures anyway. I told him that he should be happy cuz we do not have to go back until he is a year. I think I am going to get some of our bills paid off and save for a nice camera and then have Uncle Ant start taking our family pictures after Owen turns a year. We did not do much else. We came home and we were exhausted from the pictures so we all slept. Just woke up about an hour and a half ago. Hopefully Owen will want to sleep tonight. LOL!! I am still exhausted.

Owen hanging out just waiting so patiently for the day that he will get to eat real food like mommy and daddy..hehehe the day is coming soooo soon. Lets see we talk to his Dr. about it on the 24th at his 6 weeks check up and he will more than likely be playing around with some cereal on the 25th. I am so excited. It will be so cute and a lot of fun..

Max and Owen sooo cute

Here is Max and Owen loving on one another. It is sooo cute. I love these pictures. You can view more on my Flickr but you will have to become my friend first.

Not a whole lot been happening since last time I blogged. Owen is going to be 6 months this Saturday. How fun! Half a year old already. It is going by too fast. I feel like I was just preggers and now my babe is half a year old. WHAT!! Before I know it he will be 18 leaving me..and heading for college. BOOHOO..Ok I am not really crying over that YET!! lol.

I have had a pretty crazy week. I broke my retainer so I had to go to the dentist to get an impression made of my teeth on Tuesday and they are ordering me a new one. Then today I had one of my sinus headaches all day and it was miserable to be at work. I had a development day and seriously got nothing done. Today Wes and I met with a window guy and were going to get Owen's room and my office rooms windows replaced, 36 months same as cash..sweeet!! And then once we pay that off were going to do two more rooms and so on so forth until all the windows are replaced. We of course picked the nicest ones so they are pretty pricey but very easy to pay off in 36 months and they will be so nice and look so good. We went with white cuz it matches everything and were not sure what were gonna do with the front of the house yet. We figure we can paint if we have to. Not to mention I am starting to buy Christmas gifts so that way it will not sneak up on me. OYE! I want to use the money we have in our Christmas Club to open another savings CD. It would be nice to do that every year and before we know it we will have a lot of money saved. Just think if we could save just 1000.00 year and open up a CD with it and do not touch that CD by the time I am 65 years old I will have 35000.00 dollars saved in JUST what we invested not including the interest. COOL HUH!! Well I have a few things to get caught up on bill wise and then I am going to start putting lots of cash on my car payment and the basement payment. Then I am going to start to save because I want to put Owen through some good schools and I know were gonna need some money to do that. OK well blah about finances. Owen is doing great, Wes and I are doing great. I am tired and very thankful tomorrow is my FRIDAY!!!
