I like to think if my computer wasn't 12 years old, if it didn't freeze up every time I tried to load a picture, I might update my blog more often. As it is, it has taken about half an hour to load the nuggets of cuteness below.</div>

Little Miss Norah has been loving her dry erase books. She's getting very good at tracing letters and shapes. Her 'guys' are also getting more detailed with hair and glasses lately.</div>

<tr><td style="text-align: center;">Norah reminds me almost daily that her birthday is coming closer and that she gets to go to school when she is a little older. We have registered her for preschool in the fall and I know she is going to love it. I can already tell she is getting bored with our usual activites. I think preschool will be a welcome change for both of us! She will be going to a small school in Hood River three days a week 8am-2pm. Until then, we are looking forward to sunny weather adventures and maybe a few summer day camps this year.<br />

<tr><td style="text-align: center;">I'm getting better about picking battles with her. While we were playing outside with chalk she found out it 'melts' when you rub it in water. While my initial reaction was to stop her since it wastes the chalk, I had to stop myself. Why not melt the chalk? It was fun, it wasn't hurting anything, she was thoroughly absorbed in what she was doing...and we've had the bucket of chalk for two years, not like we're wasting big money on it.<br />

<tr><td style="text-align: center;">I've tried not to direct my kids towards too many gender specific toys or activites. So I find it very interesting that Owen is already facinated with all things trucks and airplanes. A few weeks ago he started saying Big Truck while watching and listening the log trucks that pass near our house. I'm sure we have pointed them out and told him they were big trucks, but I don't feel like we've made them any bigger focus then other things. Now anytime he hears a truck, train, or airplane he must tell me about it. What a boy!<br />

Owen is 16 almost 17 months now. I have plenty of mommy guilt over not documenting his milestones as well as I did Norah's. I console myself knowing he is a happy healthy little kid and that's more important then remembering which day he cut each tooth or added a new word.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
While I'm talking teeth and words....He has four front teeth on top, cutting both top molars, and three front teeth on bottom. His vocabulary has been increasing rapidly in the last two months. It's both fun and frustrating since he still won't say Momma! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So far he says, Uh oh, nono, Kitty, dog, meow, woof, truck, duck, sis, daddy, thank you, car, dropped, stuck, pants, socks, shoes, binky, ball, hot (and will blow on hot foods)...that's all I can think of at the moment but I know there's more. I'm trying to teach him to say help instead of screeching like a stuck pig when he gets upset with something. He's about 26lbs, probably more now since I weighed him a few weeks ago, and mostly wearing 18-24mth clothes.</div>

This year started out a little bumpy for us but things have settled down. George is enjoying his new job and we are both happy he found something local. The relief that we didn't have to move has been replaced by the want to move to a house of our own. Patience is the name of the game at this point. There was a building moratorium in our area for several years due to the inadequate water supply from the city. Although the moratorium was lifted over a year ago when the new water supply was set up, the housing prices are still rediculously high. We're very comfotable in our rental, but we are extreemly frustrated by the pot smokers that are living below us. We have confronted them several times and spoken with our landlords about it, but it seems nothing is going to come of it and we're stuck living above 'the skunks'. </div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
Until we are able to move, we're trying to focus on enjoying life in the beautiful Columbia Gorge. The weather is warming up, the flowers are blooming, and we're starting to plan summer hikes and trips!</div>

Owen has been walking for a few weeks and thinks he's pretty hot stuff. I miss his little bear crawl and I'm so happy I got plenty of video of it before he started walking. He's wearing mostly 18mth clothing and is a big boy! I'm very curious what his height/weight is now but his wellcheck isn't until next week. He's much bigger than Norah was at a year!

He will eat pretty much anything we give him and is almost done with pureed baby food. Dairy has still been an issue so we are a little restricted sharing food with him. His current favorite foods include blueberries, carrots, rice crackers, and well, the cupcake was a hit!</div>

He has been saying Uh Oh for several weeks and it's so cute. Recently he's added Wow, Kih (kitty), and Dat (that) which he says when he wants something or wants to touch something.

Personality has been developing by leaps and bounds lately. And not always for the best! He is very opinionated about things that he doesn't like, and will scream and throw his little body around which will be interesting as he gets bigger! Mostly he's super happy and funny and very brave. Unlike his sister he is not shy at all. He never developed stranger fear, and while he likes to know where I am when we are out somewhere, he is quite happy to wander around and visit new people.

He has a funny little naughty streak too. Lately he's been trying to play in the toilet (EWW). We've had to keep all the doors closed and baby gates up or he makes a bee line for the potty. Usually if I can't hear him he's quietly walking down the hall to my room to see if the door is latched so he can get to the bathroom. If he sees me coming he laughs and does an adorable fast baby shuffle walk trying to reach the door first. <br />

This summer was the first in five years that George was home for the 4th of July. For the last several years he has had Army commitments that have kept him from celebrating with the family. Although our budget was tight we did splurge on fireworks for the big day. Norah loved it! She stayed up late to watch all the big bright explosions. Of course, Daddy helped her light a few fireworks of her own too.</div>

Our little town has an outdoor pool that is open for the summer. This year I braved the waters with Norah so we could do swimming lessons! It was a parent/tot class four days a week for two weeks. Norah had a lot of fun and really likes the water. Hopefully next year she will be ready for some big kid lessons so Momma and Owen can do the Tot class!</div>

He's still sleeping in the packnplay by our bed right now, but I felt the need to start getting his room ready. I got the crib all set up first and laid him in it while I worked on sorting clothes. He was pretty happy babbling away while Norah played in the room and I sat on the floor. Then it got quiet. I peeked at him and his eyes were drooping so I gave him a binkie. Not long after that he was out.

He seems to like it so far and will wiggle for 10mins or more at a time. I got Norah up the other morning and she asked where brother was. I told her he was wiggling on his playmat and she said, Oh? In the jungle? It was so cute! The playmat has animal print on it, and several animals hanging from it. I'm not sure when she decided it was 'the jungle' since we've never called it that, but very observant on her part!</p><br /><p><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dw_S2slPpHaxMozRdpN_yHB4yq3w839LzW7h3mBjHKISUvy9oy1cP7wMsdj5LEqCCdkTBo1UHQzOCKBg9digw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></p>Lynnettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09408022002580370785noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339393376321132260.post-74609175713777573202012-01-12T20:41:00.001-08:002012-01-12T20:58:48.397-08:00One Month!<div><br /><div align="center">A month old already!<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;
