Things are quite different around here as of late. For one, we started Owen on solid foods. He was excited the first few days of cereal but now he could care less. Perhaps we'll spark his interest with some sweet potatoes later this week.

Even more interesting is how mobile Owen is now. I put him down on the floor and within minutes, he has rolled to the edge of the rug, somehow with his toys in hand, and is banging them on the hardwood. He has also rolled under the loveseat a few times. This time, he was held up by his chubby arm.



In other news, I've been looking for a source of income. We plan to send Owen to "school" when he's about 16 months and in order to do so, I need to make some money. Next week, I'm talking to one of my fellow ECFEers (baby class) about the possibility of watching her daughter in my home. Her daughter is such an easy baby and is the same age as Owen so they should be doing similar things at similar times. Some moments, I think I'm crazy for considering this but the alternative is to get a job out of the house and that would require care for Owen, being organized, and realizing that I would quit that job when it's time for baby #2. We'll see what happens next week. (am i nuts?)
