It's official...our beautifully laid out, open floor plan is no more. We made Owen a playroom in the dining room by gating the two doors. He'll be getting a new rug and some toy storage soon (when his parents receive their tax refund) but for now he's just got some toys and a baby jail ;) He seems to really enjoy it in there so far and has played while we made dinner and did some dishes. There are two members of our family who are having a seriously difficult adjustment to the gates though and they both have fur and tails. Poor Georgie and Henry are totally confused and are thus far refusing to jump the gates. We're trying to figure out what to do because right now their food is downstairs and their litter is upstairs. We're hoping they'll get the hang of it soon.
It was a BEAUTIFUL day today in Charlotte! The high was over 60 degrees and sunny with just a slight breeze. We took full advantage by taking Owen out on a little hike and then enjoying some time on our neighborhood playground. Here's some of our hiking adventure:
Owen wasn't really excited about trying the seat out over and over in the living room while Daddy adjusted it. I'm sure he'll get used to that since Daddy does that with every new purchase before we're allowed to use it! Daddy kept reading the manual, changing a few things, and then putting Owen back in. In the end he was perfectly safe and totally secured!
Owen got to bring his toys on the hike! He was much happier in his seat once we were outside!
Someone loves his daddy....a lot! Every time Dan walks into the room these days Owen practically convulses with excitement and rushes over to him. They're so sweet together!
Owen helped Mommy shop for sunglasses this week and tried on some of his own Calvin Kleins!
