1) Owen joined us for dinner out and sat in the provided high chair (rather than his car seat) for the first time. We used a cover (yea for the Bilby!). It would have made for a good picture, but I forgot my camera. However, we felt like we were having dinner with a little old man, since he was slumping down, grunting (his latest noise), and his shorts were hiked quite high. Maybe we'll take a little pillow or stuff a bunch of napkins behind him to fill up the chair next time. :)
2) I left him in the care of the nursery staff this morning for a couple of hours, while I attended a mom's group at our church. It was a small step, but it marked the first time we've left him with non-relatives/friends. It all went well though. In truth, it seemed he didn't even notice me coming or going! I'm thankful for that, because I know in a few months that won't be the case.
3) At some point last night, he managed to untie the loop we were using to keep the diaper stacker hanging outside his crib. This sent the diaper stacker to the floor, but he kept the ribbon for himself! Needless to say, I had a bit of a scare finding him clutching onto a foot-long ribbon in his sleep and am now finally motivated to start baby-proofing. Yikes!
Now, because it's not really a post without a picture, here's two of Owen at play:
I remember the CONSTANTLY wet bib on the overalls. Isn't teething fun!?
