The other morning Owen was really begging me to do all sorts of stuff (play with me, let's go to the library, can we ride TRAX?, help me build a fort....) I was feeling bad because I wanted to hang out with him but had so much to do. So I said "If you can think of something that takes less than ten minutes and doesn't involve going anywhere I'll do it." I thought maybe a puzzle or a story was what he would ask for. But he thought about it and decided on making a peach smoothie and watching a "mommie movie" (A home-video from when I was little. I don't think piano recitals and family vacations would be that interesting to him but he LOVES them.) So here he is so happy with his peach smoothie. And I was happy I could now sort laundry in peace.

I wanted to get a video of Hannah walking, but she was only interested in eating the acorns. When she first started doing this about a month ago I would take them out of her mouth, but there was really no way of stopping her so I finally gave in. She has never choked or even made me think she was going to. The only trouble we run into is when other moms are around. "Do you know she has an acorn in there?" "ha ha... yes, she might even have two or three."

She is walking so much now I think she might be classified as a walker. It is only when she is in a hurry that she crawls. I can't believe she is so big!
