Where did October Go?

This month has flown by. I mean really--time slow down already!

Halloween was fun. Owen started to walk the day before Halloween. He is comical to watch. He is naughty though. He is going to keep me on my toes. He likes to climb. Hal and Keyton were not climbers--as in they didn't climb on to counter tops and such. Owen likes to climb on to the counter tops and turn on water facets. He also throws a fit every SINGLE time I change his diaper. He bites--still, and it hurts. Owen bites me and then laughs like it is the funniest thing in the world. I scold him, I say, "Owen no biting!", but he continues to laugh and my scolding only makes him want to bite me harder. Not sure how to handle this one people? Not sure. I try to ignore it---but he comes at me from all sides, with a grin that is hard to not smile at. He is cute. Too cute. I am in trouble.

Keyton started hockey. Hal is loving dance. I am missing my husband.

I have been babysitting. Last week, I babysat two babies--a five-month-old and a one-year-old. That was a challenging day. Two of the three babies needed baths, because they had messed their pants so badly. One had poo all the way up to the top of her head. I knew it was going to be an interesting day, when one of the dads told me "good luck." before he had left---I think this daddy knew what I was in store for. It was all worth it though. I love watching my friend's children grow up. I remember times with these parents before we had children, and it is funny to see us in these new roles as parents ourselves. In fact, the best part about moving home, is getting to watch childhood friends of mine with their own children. It really is amazing.
