more useful ideas

I keep getting asked what we need and want for christmas so as i think of things i am passing them along. we are about to get a package from mike's niece (hand-me-downs from her little boy) so clothes are not a need. I know it is fun to buy clothes for little ones so go ahead if you can not stop yourself! I think we need socks mostly. Mom has been looking for some diaper covers but has been unsuccessful in finding any. Those will soon be a neccessity as well. We have none foe the next stage. I think these current ones are up to 15lbs. So we are about to grow out of them.

Owen got his social security card in the mail yesterday. It's official, he exists.

a day with becky!

Yesterday we went to becky's house and baked pumpkin cheesecake (yum) and kept her company. She had surgery on her foot last week and is not very mobile. So here are a few fun picts from yesterday! Enjoy. Check out the Baby Legs!

ideas

I just want to let you all know that in having a discussion with mom that I have realized that Owen is pretty set with clothes for the next few months. He is growing so fast and not even wearing all the clothes that he has right now. If you want to get him clothes he is at least 3 months size(and the bigger end of that!) Another idea since clothes come and go so quickly is there are these wonderful shoes called Robeez. The website is great and it is a sweet story so check it out. Once I read the story I wanted to support them even more. You will also see that for every pair bought during the nextmonth they will donate a pair. FOR EVERY PAIR! WOW. They are a bit expensive ($26) so if a few of you get together that is something that he could totally use. He has one pair for 0-6mo (the pea in the pod pair-thanks Erica!) But the next size up would be ideal since he will start using his feet more at that time.
I hope I am not being too forward with what to "buy" for Owen, if I am just let me know. I am just trying to help with ideas that are beneficial and necessary.
These are fun! BabyLegs. Check them out. SOme folks are so clever. We got him the Jack set. They are so handy for putting them on in the evenings when it is chilly but you do not want to keep taking his pants off and putting them back on. And under his sleeper to keep his legs warn when it rides up.
