happy inauguration week

I'm still on a bit of a patriotic high from Tuesday, so bear with me.

Hip hip hooray! Bush is gone!

In other news, Owen is getting closer to crawling. He's started going from a sitting position to his hands and knees, and we have found him sitting upright in his crib a few times, so apparently vice versa as well. He's mastering the art of eating - I dip the spoon into his bowl of food, he takes it from me and gets it into his mouth all by himself. Not bad. Tonight he had falafel, and it seemed to be a hit even though it has a lot more flavor than most of his regular foods.

I'm going to try to start writing shorter posts in the hope that I'll do them more often. New pictures soon.
