Baby Quarterback



...and just in time for the Super Bowl! My little babe's skull isn't shaped correctly, hence the helmet. He'll wear it 23 hrs a day for the next 3-5 months. Right now we're just easing him into wearing it all day so he wears it a couple hours and then has it off for an hour.

I think it bothers me much more than it bothers him...I cried the first time he put it on. He just smiled and acted all cute like normal...Scott and I think the hemet needs some flair to jazz it up a bit!!

This weekend, O is sick again, he has a cold :( His poor little eyes are gooping up and getting all crusty and his nose is runny.... However in typical Owen fashion, he is still a little trooper - just sooooo tired!



In other weekend happenings...Friday, Scott had the day off, since his work is now on 32 hour weeks, so he went out ice fishing in Allegan and caught quite a few Walleye...here he is with the prized catch of the day...we baked it for dinner tonight and it was so good!!



Also this weekend, we finally found a Wii Fit! I got a chance to check out the Wii Fit at Heidi's house earlier this week - he went and picked up dinner and hung out at her house playing Wii Fit like a couple of little kids. We had such a fun time with it and I knew I really wanted to get one. So Scott, being the awesome husband that he is, went to Best Buy this morning in search of the elusive Wii Fit....He said almost everyone in the store had one in their carts (they got a shipment of them in last night) and he didn't think there would be any more left, but there two on the shelf - yea! I've had fun with it today - and especially like the yoga portion of it, and of course the fun games (the soccer game is my favorite!)

Well enough for now, I think I'm coming down with a cold too - so I'd better go get some zzz's, cuz who knows how well O will sleep tonight!

I think he needs a sticker that says "stunt man" that will give him some flair! He is the coolest boy in the world and looks even cooler with the helmet!!!

Poor O! I think he looks cute as ever with the helmet though. Our friend's little girl had to wear a harness thing for several months like that, and it really was more difficult for the parents than her. I think he'll continue to be a trooper. I hope the cold goes away quickly too!!

We have a similar Wii Fit story...they are SO hard to get ahold of...I think they are slightly easier to get now that Christmas is over...but still quite the hot item! I enjoy the yoga as well. Not as much as I enjoy watching my mom try to hula hoop though...THAT is the best! :)
