Owen was hilarious last night as he brought the animal-shaped bowling pins originally purchased for our dearly departed bunny Greta, made a bed for them out of a large pouch used to cook potatoes and got them ready for bed. He was very sweet. But I think the best thing for both of us was hearing him say "my babies," which I think delighted us because it was the first time we'd heard our baby express this need to take care of someone or something.
His little sister will be in good hands.
Amy is still shaking her pesky and exhausting cough. It's been going on for a little under two weeks now and she's understandably tired of it. We came home early from our Thanksgiving holiday at my parents' house so Amy could see the doctor again on Friday afternoon. He tells her she's not getting worse, but the recovery remains slow, as she still can't take any medication to make her feel better.

We had a lovely Thanksgiving, though, playing with the marble game at Nana and Grandpa's house, and enjoying a 100% gluten free holiday meal. The long weekend was nice, too. Owen and I went swimming at our gym's pool and Amy and I relaxed with a movie and some take-out Thai food. 
We also decorated the house for Christmas. It was the earliest date we'd ever got that accomplished, and the house looks great. Owen loves the Christmas tree and has taken to plugging it in himself as soon as we get home or come downstairs. He also had a great time decorating it, helping dad put bells on the bottom, as is the family tradition (so you can hear if someone is stealing your presents).

With only four months to go, the baby seems to be doing very well despite her mom's cold. We go back to the OB today for a checkup. It'll be fun to hear that beating heart again.

I have never thought to put bells on the bottom of the Christmas tree - what a fun tradition! For me, the best part of Owen with his "babies" was him sitting and watching them in his rocking chair. It is great to see his personality showing in these clips you share. Thanks, that one made my day!
