a few more :-)

Octavian's St. Patty's Day outfit but it's alittle too short for him. He looks adorable in it though

I love taking pictures

Finally found the charger to my camera, so I was able to take some pics. My boys are sooooo cute. Owen is getting to be so grown up (but can still act like a child when he doesn't get his way) :-) and Octavian is going to be a year in just three short weeks. Matt is enjoying his promotion but things are slow right now and the boss seems to be taking most of the work that comes up. It is so nice to have Matt home more and at night. It took about a week to adjust, but we are loving it. Owen is doing good with reading and we are working on his writing. He is still a great help with Octavian.

11 months today

Octavian is 11 months old today! I would have taken a picture today but I can't find my battery charger for my camera, UGH. He's drinking out of a sippie cup now and like cheerios. Unfortunately he gets about half into his mouth and the other half on the floor. Octavian still has no desire to attempt to crawl. I think it might be because he booty bounces his way across the floor, it's funny to watch. He is also learning about the word NO and doesn't like it. He will either start to cry or scream. Octavian says Uh Oh, so cute.

Owen has been a great big brother and a big help with Octavian. It's wonderful to see them playing and laughing together.

My Grandma

Valentine's Day will be the one year anniversary of Grandma Tandy passing away. We weren't in contact much over the last 10 years but she was in my thoughts and I know that I was in her prayers. The last time I saw her, I was 4 months pregnant with Octavian and Grandma was so happy for me and adored Owen.
Right before I found out how sick Grandma was, I started getting Braxton-Hicks contractions. I've never had those before. I knew something was wrong and within minutes my Mom sent me a message with bad news. For that reason, I feel that Grandma and Octavian are connected. He will never be able to meet her, but I believe she is watching over him. I also believe that she visited me in the Hospital after I delivered Octavian.
I know it might sound silly, but I thought Grandma would always be around because she was my only Grandma. I miss her. I feel that she wouldn't want me to be sad or even cry (which is what I'm doing as I'm writing this) Grandma would want me to smile and remember the happy memories I have of her.
I love you Grandma and Thank You for watching over my Family

All about Octavian

Imagination

Owen decided to turn a diaper box into a Star Wars ship. He even put pieces of paper on the sides to be wings. Both Owen and Octavian took turns sitting in it and they were having so much fun. Such an imagination.
