Who's child is this?

It has become painfully clear recently that Owen has adopted traits from both Cris and I. unfortunately, very few of them are desirable...

SIGNS HE IS CRIS' SON

-He recently drooled all over a photo of Lacey Chambert (Remember the little girl in Party of Five? Not so little anymore. In many ways). And I do mean drooled. Big wet stain right where your dirty little mind is imagining it.

-He nearly bust a gut farting in the bath tub.

-Can not multi task. Obviously not a Gemini like almost everyone in my family.

-Pants are too long, shirts are too short.

SIGNS HE IS MY SON:

-He ate the foaming soap we have (off his hand) because yes it does look exactly like whip cream. No it doesn't taste like it. Or lavender as the bottle proclaims is the "scent". I don't want to reveal how I know.

-He pulled every purse off the displays in the Bay while I was hunting for a new bag. He knows how I shop.

-He likes shoes but doesn't fit into any.

-Can't speak a word of Spanish.

-Sleeps 12 hours no problem!

SIGNS HE IS NOT OURS- A hospital mix up:

-cute as a button

-would choose milk or water over any other drink

-Prefers Wheel of Fortune to Jeopardy

-doesn't like the breading on chicken nuggets (the good ones from loblaws for kids)

-more interested in simple things then fancy toys (like an iMac)

Failed mother application

So I haven't posted in a while. I was wooed by the mac. I tried creating a new site using their publishing software. But my website host (Rogers who else) has an awful uploading FTP prgoram. TOOOOO SLOOOOW. So I came back to my blog...I'll try again someday.

Still no teeth. You want to get "Bad Mother" looks- tell them you have a 13 month old with no teeth. Like I have any control over when he gets his teeth. So I always throw myself under the bus, revealing I didn't get teeth till I was 11 months old. But I still get looks like I must be sneaking into his room at night and shoving those teeth back up.

And of course we are now at the age of "Is he walking yet?"
Again to save my son from the ridicule I always point out two things:
1) My life is far easier if he is crawling- thank you very much.
2) I didn't walk till I was 16 months because I had developed a perfectly good method of transportation on my butt. Who needs to walk when you can scoot across the floor just as fast. See us Wilson kids may appear slow, but really we are just ahead of our time. Think of all the times you wished you could just sit down and zip around a mall...There woul dbe a lot less cranky folks in the stores if we all just sat down and slid around on our butts. Owen of course is crawling, also a decent method of getting around. But he feels like I have to sign Owen up for remedial classes now becuase surely he will be needing them if he isn't walking yet!!

So no he's not walking. Thanks for asking.

Yuletide Owen

I realised I didn't really put up any photos from Chrsitmas. So here are a few. The best Christmas Gift? Owen slept in till 8:00. There really is a Santa Claus!

So with the new MAC it doesn't show the pictures in the editing process- only html script. So I can't put any funny captions for this one. I guess when on the Mac I am going to have to post each picture as a seperate post. But you don't need to hear all the technically stuff.

Just enjoy Owen!
