Good Morning my little cuddle bug! Dad was getting ready this morning and you woke up. He immediately gets you out of bed and brings you too me. You just curled up with me and went right back to sleep. I wish I could hold you there all day!
You're new word this week...."No". I asked you if you wanted lunch yesterday, "No". Do you want to go to Holly's? "No." You're so funny. We pretty much played outside all weekend. You love it, you cry when we have to come in. You fell asleep in the swing yesterday!
We went to ToysRUs Saturday. Of course I bought too many toys for you. I used to buy myself clothes, A LOT of clothes. Now, I havent shopped for myself in I don't know when, but I can spend $50 in ToysRUs for you in about 5 minutes! I know I'm spoiling you rotten but I can't help it. I love you too much I guess.
We went to Uncle Chris's on Friday for you to run around and play with the "boos" (aka deer). His grandpa, who is 92, picked you up and took off on his hover round and took you around their lake!! Scared me too death! You loved it. Pointing out all the cars as they drove by, the birds, the boos, waiving Hi. You're getting so big, Mr. independent.

Love ya baby O.

Oh you little stinker, you are so funny. You make me smile everyday!
Last night you were watching a movie, like we do most everynight, and you lined up all of your animals in a row perfectly and had to be sure ALL of them were facing the TV. They are your little buddies. I think you will be a perfectionist like your mom, worries me a little. Not everything has to be "perfect" honey, it's taken me 30 years to figure that out! Take extra time to enjoy life instead of worrying if you are doing everything perfectly. I don't want you to miss out on experiences becasue you are afraid you will not be good at it or be "perfect". JUST TRY IT! Don't be like me......

Love ya my baby O!

We had a busy weekend. Poor Pa and Granny Key are both in the hospital. You love your Pa Key.......or his caps at least. haha. We bought your "big boy" bedding and room decor. Nothing else but, DINOS! I showed it to you in the store and you said, "RRRRRR" so I knew it was a keeper. I cant believe it's time for a toddler bed already! We got your hair cut too. Oh yeah, and there were tornadoes on Friday. I rushed to pick you up from Holly's and we made it home just in time. Scared DaDa to death though!
Such a smart boy, you are saying even more words than last week! I was counting and I think you say about 20 to 25 words now. Not bad for almost 18 months. This morning you were playing ball, reading books, watching NeNe and eating Cheerios. Busy guy today!!

Love Ya Baby O!

Just want to say I love you my Baby O. Dierks Bently has a new song called, Thinking of You. It's perfect!

When I’m all alone, or in a crowd, In a quiet place or where music’s loud, If I’m on the road, or in the other room, That’s how you know, I’m thinking of you, When the flowers bloom, when the leaves turn brown, When the sun is hot, when the snow falls down, down, When the clouds are grey and the skies are blue, That’s how you know I’m thinking of you.
I’m thinking of you, that’s all I do, all the time. You’re always the first and the last thing on this heart of mine. No matter where I go or what I do, I’m thinking of you.
Can’t remember now who I used to be, What I cared about before you came to me, baby. Every selfish thought, all I thought I knew, Has been replaced with thinking of you.
I’m thinking of you, that’s all I do, all the time. You’re always the first and the last thing on this heart of mine. No matter where I go or what I do, I’m thinking of you, that’s all I do, all the time. You’re always the first and the last thing on this heart of mine. No matter where I go or what I do, I’m thinking of you.Always thinking of you, yes I am.
I posted the video for you. Dad and I were at this show. Love ya Baby O.

Its nice that you come to me and let me know, but we need to potty train! You are the worst child to try to change a diaper! You do not stop movin, my lil Goin Owen. Miss Holly said that you pulled all the pillows off of the couch and started diving off the couch onto them! You did this all by yourself.....smarty pants! You did the same thing when we got home, head first! You are a little dare devil. You found a new favorite book this week too, it's just a little Disney book about finding new pals.......I have read it to you about 50 times! You bring it too me with those sweet little eyes...boo boo boo? (book) I will sit and read it 50 more times. I dont mind.
I love you my lil Goin Owen!
