We had Owen’s nine month pictures taken today. I’m a little disappointed in his behavior. He was not a bad little boy…he was just clingy and wouldn’t cooperate with the photographer very well. He would literally turn his back to her as much as possible. It’s as if he knew she was trying to manipulate him somehow and he refused to acknowledge her.
He’s sleeping now. The ordeal made him tired and he gave no fuss when I put him in his crib. I hope he sleeps for a good while and wakes up happier. As for me, I’m going to relax over a lunch of left-overs and enjoy the quiet.
Dad left today. He is driving back to Michigan as we speak and I pray he has a safe trip. You would hardly know he was here. He always makes such an effort to stay out of the way and not mess things up. Owen seems to really enjoy him. He reached out for him every time he saw him.
Our friends Eric and Tisra have an appointment at the doctor’s office today. They will have an ultrasound to find out the sex of this their third child. Can’t wait to hear the news.
I didn’t know your dad was in town!
After I feed Dean his lunch, we’re off! Cross you fingers that the baby keeps his/her legs *un*crossed and that (s)he is very unmodest!
Well, he comes down quite often now and it almost seems silly to announce each visit. Not that I avoid it or anything, I just don’t make a big deal about it. He did say however that he’s out of vacation time now and that this will be his last trip for the year. We may be able to coerce him into taking some unpaid time for Owen’s Birthday but if not it’s okay.
