Crawling and Teething

The constant transformation of Owen from an adorable and helpless little infant to an active and adventurous toddler continues. I need to replace all of the fluffy gingham baby items with trucks, bugs, baseball bats and mud...

These last two weeks have really been an exercise in parenting. I have been told that parenthood is more like a marathon than a sprint, naturally, but there are those few times when we feel like we need a recharge to keep up. In the last two weeks Owen reached two big milestones - crawling teeth!

Yes, he is officially crawling... and he is fast! Just this morning I left him playing on his play mat (thank you Quay and Lauren, those ABC foam mats are great!) and a split second later he was across the room heading towards the electrical outlet. Lets just say, we are heading out to Babies R Us this afternoon to invest in all the baby safety items available. We also have three new teeth! Two on the top and one on the bottom.
