A long week.

I have spent most of this week with a sick little ginger baby. First, it was the flu and now it is a massive cold/respiratory problem that has me WORN out. I basically haven't been sleeping at all at night because Owen has had fevers, puking, and just can't get comfy. I get a couple of hours during the day. It has got me feeling not so good today. Either way, I don't care because Owen is So snuggly, lovey to his Mama even. For that I am grateful.

Thursday, even though we were both exhausted and sicky we went to Stephen's sister's wedding. It was very intimate with just a few family members. (wish hubby could've been there) Nevertheless, it was good to get out of the house for a couple of hours.

Last night we went to Genji, a Japanese Steakhouse. SO GOOD. I had never been to one before and they prepare the food in front of you and do some cool tricks with their spatulas and knives and stuff. I will definitely be going back, especially when Owen is awake to enjoy it too. Poor bug, zonked out a few minutes after we got there.

On another note... Can you believe that O is 10 months already?! I cannot. He is doing miraculous things. It amazes me at how smart he is and is learning new things everyday. Just yesterday he said puppy and started pointing to different animals in one of his books when asking him where each one was. He also, while in Target last night was waving at different people as we walked by them and then started clapping at each one of them. It was the CUTEST thing I have ever seen.

He also LOVES to talk to Stephen. He says Hi Dad or Dada and that is all he says just about all day long. Unless it is Mommy Boobie. Meaning he is hungry. I am trying to teach him some sign language now so that we can communicate a little better and I can understand what in the heck he wants. He says "Uh-huh" and "No" (while shaking his head back and forth) Adorable! He says " I love you" and a bunch of other gibberish too. But I am Loving this and being a mom. So the lack of sleep is alright because the rest of the time it is so very much worth to spend time with my little Chubber and see him learn new things, while I am learning from him too!

I can't forget that he is walking! Well when he wants to. But, it is a start and I am amazed at his little stagger. Growing boy. We sure love him.

If anyone is curious, Stephen is doing well in that far off land. You know the one with the war going on. I get to talk to him often, and when I don't he always tries to send me a short email here or there. It uplifts me and keeps me motivated. I sure love that other Ginger Boy of mine. That brings me to my next point.. we have known each other for an entire year. It is crazy to think about all of the things that have happened in the last year. Mainly, giving birth to O and getting married! All in the same year. Pretty amazing to me. Can't wait to see what years 2- a million are like. (: Love you Hon-ay!
