Diana
When Linnea went back to work after Owen was born, we were fortunate to have family members come and help us with Owen for the first month or two. In the meantime, we were looking for more permanent childcare options. We found wonderful Diana, a nanny with lots of experience and love to provide, and made arrangements to have her work with us until December. She would be starting with another family in December, and we count it a blessing that Owen was able to spend his days with her throughout the fall. Diana is kind, gentle, fun, loving, and a Christian - which was an extra special blessing for us! She quickly became an extension of our family. We had no doubt that Owen was getting the very best care during the day, and it was obvious how much he loved and enjoyed his time with Diana. Diana...thank you for a wonderful season! You will always be a very special person in our lives!
8 Months
Owen is already 8 months old, and the biggest update of this last month has been...teeth! Owen broke 4 teeth on the top in the last month. Three of which came through at the very same time, which actually landed us in the emergency room when he very uncharacteristically inconsolable for about 3+ hours one evening. Being that it was the night following the return from our trip to Hawaii, we were concerned it could have been his ears (from the flight, perhaps?) but while at the hospital, the nurse commented on the 3 teeth that just came through. What teeth?! There were no teeth earlier that afternoon! Ah...no wonder he was hurting. Poor baby! In addition to the new teeth, 8 months has Owen sitting very well on his own (how fun to sit him on a blanket with some toys, and watch him play!), loving the sound of his own voice (his newest sound is a growl - usually out of excitement. So funny!), splashing in the bathtub, and waving goodbye. We know crawling is just around the corner...but no rush. :) We love watching Owen discover the world and look forward to another fun month!
