My first official 5K...and other firsts of Owen's

I finally ran my first official 5K since Owen has been born.  It was a Thursday night event, on a flat course through a park.  And I was able to make it happen in what I consider a "reasonable" amount of time. Success!  And then it rained...for almost four weeks straight and now it's pushing 100 degrees outside. Not my kind of running weather.

So instead, I think we should focus on some exciting firsts of Owen's.  He's got his first teeth and more coming.  He's learned to spit and blow raspberries, which was cute at first but between the active spitting and the accidental drooling his shirts are usually pretty soaked.  And just recently, he showed us that he can crawl for real, but it only lasts a few steps.  But he's an amazing army crawler.  Sometimes it takes a lot of effort, but he makes it to his destination with the perfect mixture of determination and brute force.  When he was first learning, he gained his strength by screaming - much like a female arm wrestler.


The only difference between him and the arm wrestler is that he actually succeeded...
