TX-OU Weekend

Since we don't have tickets (or the energy) for TX-OU weekend in Dallas anymore, we hosted a small get-together of fellow Longhorns at our house during the game. This was the boys' first real experience with a TX-OU party and they'd better get used to it because there's a lot more where that came from. Hook 'em!

Owen is talking!

Owen is quite the babbler as of late. His vocabulary currently includes "hi", "dada", "lalalala" (which signals to us that we need to start singing) and "nai nai" (Chinese for Grandma). No matter how hard I try, I cannot get him to say mama. That darn boy.

Owen's 9-month well check

Owen turned 9-months old today! Here are the stats from his well check:

* Weight: 23 lbs., 14 oz. (90th percentile)
* Length: 28 1/2" (75th-90th percentile)
* Head Circumference: 47 cm (75th-90th percentile)

Here is our big guy getting around the house in a walker. He's not crawling yet, but the pediatrician suggested we just skip that stage and work on his cruising skills instead.

First day of school 2009

Today Joey started his second year of Mother's Day Out at Bethany School. This year he is in the Monkeys class with Ms. Laurie and Ms. Dana. There were a few tears this morning but then his teachers got out the toy cars and all was good in the world again.
