Owen Lately...

While Owen is still not showing interest in actual potty training, he is curious about his potty. Occasionally he'll tell us he wants to go potty so of course we take him and sit him down on it. Usually he wants to sit on it fully clothed, but every now and then he'll sit on it for real. We aren't pushing him to use it, only feeding his curiosity when he talks about it and also asking him if he wants to go potty every night before his bath. Sometimes he says yes, sometimes it's no, but the interest is there and that makes us excited about what's yet to come! (...and anyone who's ever changed his diaper knows that the day potty training comes will be a happy one as this boy DOES NOT like to sit still long enough for diaper changes!!!) Anyway, here's a cute picture I got of Owen the other night, practicing sitting on the potty, what a little man!
Owen is also really, really interested in his shoes. I've mentioned this before and that he comes by it honestly as his mama & his Pops are both shoe lovers too...can that sorta thing actually be hereditary?! Regardless, the first thing he wants to do when he wakes up is put on shoes and he's even been known to fall asleep at night with them on. One of his favorite games is going into our closest and parading around in mama's and daddy's shoes. Here is a cute shot of Owen trying out Beebee's cowboy boots a few weeks ago...such a silly boy!
Pictures of our fun snow day coming soon so stay tuned!!!
Also...only 4 days to go until we find out if Owen is going to have a brother or a sister...YAHOO!!!!

Update on #2

Today I had my 14 week checkup and everything went great :) I got to hear little one's heartbeat for the 2nd time and it sounded strong & healthy. I also scheduled my BIG ultrasound, yippie!--so exactly one month from today we get to find out if #2 is gonna be a girl or boy!!! I am super excited to find out if Owen's having a brother or a sister :) Either way it will be SO exciting with so many, many things to look forward to. For whatever reason, I have been extra impatient to find out the gender this time around...I don't know why this is, but March 3rd just can't come soon enough :) Tony & I have had a fun time guessing though--and for the record, I have NO idea or intuition what little one is, I guess I wasn't given that gift, haha :) I've put a poll at the top of my blog just for fun though so take a vote and let me know whether you think little one is a girl or a boy. Oh, and if you need something to go by, here's what we know so far...

• Little one's heartbeat at 10 weeks: 160 bpm
• Little one's heartbeat at 14 weeks: 150 bpm
• Food aversions: steak & eggs
• "Cravings": nothing really--though I'm almost always in the mood for fruit & salads

Happy guessing! :)
