The Road to Vietnam

My mom looked after the kids while Gavin and I went away for the weekend. It was the first time the two of us had been gone overnight since Owen came home!. I had left a detailed list of instructions for my mom, mostly outlining the kids daily "routine". I was sure Owen would try and take advantage of the situation, but he was great!. We called home just before we went out for dinner to check on the kids. My mom said that after she hung up the phone Noah kept saying "mama" and grabbing at the phone. I guess after he had heard my voice on the phone he thought I was in it or something. After only one night away we were eager to get home to see them.

Sweet Owen - He is such a little boy now. Carrying on huge conversations, telling us all about his stay with Grandma.


Noah - he's a walker now! walks all over the place, barely crawls. I will share video when I can. He is really steady, and hardly ever falls down. When he thinks he's walked far enough he carefully lowers himself to his knees. I remember when Owen first started walking he would weave back and forth, Noah doesn't really do that. He looks like he's been walking for months. He also looks like he needs a haircut, which is obvious by this photo :) I guess I should comb his hair more often.


We've been spending lots of time outside, the weather has been great. I don't let Owen take his soother outside, he has to keep it at home. He obviously snuck it past me this time. Sneaky boy.
