so i havent gotten a flu shot, and im starting to get worried. ive already had a pretty good dose of sickness, though im not sure what it was. lots of congestion, coughing, aches and pains, so maybe ive already had it. lots of my friends are talking about flu shots, and its making me think i should get one. owen had one and i need to take him in for his booster shot soon. BUT, i just watched a video about a girl who got a flu shot and it completely ruined her life. yes, its a one in a million thing, but still. go to youtube and type in "flu shot girl." uh, its so horrible.
its 6:45 and owen is already in bed. he took a huge nap this morning and completely skipped his afternoon nap. he'll be up early tomorrow, but thats ok. he was verrrry tired.
nathan is about to be home and wants me to go watch the UT game with him. eh, i think i may pass. 1. its a really good excuse for me to go to bed super early. and 2. maybe ill lay in bed and read, which i havent gotten to do in a long time! i have a huge book to get through, and im only on page 1o0.
well, imagine that, i dont have a single video to post. i must be slacking today. though the family did get phone videos of owen playing peek-a-boo :)

i love my life
my son is the cutest thing in the WORLD. i love him. i love the personality that he is developing and his big smile when he gets excited :) hes just too sweet! i put this video on facebook, so im sure everyone has seen it already, but here is a quick shot of owen splashing around in the tub-
im not entirely sure why owen doesnt prefer playing with his toys, but he would MUCH rather be playing with spatulas, pulling pages out of books, or going through drawers in the bathroom. this morning he threw my hair brush into the bath water that i had drawn for his bath. silly boy. hes starting to realize that he makes me laugh, so he will do things to intentially make me laugh. he's going to be the center of attention, JUST like his daddy!
owen also figured out that he can feed titus. titus' head is right at eye level with owen's high chair, which works to his advantage quite well. he knows hes not supposed to, so he'll just sneak over there when im not paying attention. heres a quick shot i got-
meanwhile, all is well in the sherman household. we only have 2 more months here in louisville, then we head to texas. ive been packing about a box a day, that way everything will be ready to move and i wont be overwhelmed the week before. we're excited, but definitely sad to leave the sweet friends we have here.
speaking of, i think ill go pack a box. ive gotta reach my quota for the day.

videos and more videos...
sorry to those of you who actually look at my blog.. im officially the worst blogger in the history of blogging. i am a tad busy with the little one, but lots of mommies blog, so its no excuse!
a lot has happened in the past few months for me, nathan, and owen. owen and i went to florida for a bit and visited with grandma, grandpa, aunt sissy, and aunt marla. it was very fun and a much needed bit of relaxation for me! owen just keeps getting cuter and cuter with age. he is on his feet much more than he is crawling these days, and take 2 or 3 steps at a time before realizing that crawling would be a much faster form of transportation. he's starting to sign "more," eating big boy food, jibber jabbering all over the place, and really starting to immitate what nathan and i do. its fun. one thing that we are struggling with- the sippy cup. first, i gave him one with a squishy top so sucking would be easier. well, he learned that if he bites down on it, stuff comes out. so now all he does is chew on it. aaaand we cant get him to actually suck. i guess itll come with time.
nathan and i have also decided that we are moving back to denton, texas in mid-december. we will ultimately end up in austin around june or july, but ill be in denton for about 6 months. we are excited to see lots of friends and to save a bit of money. it should be an easy transition and a good time.
well, here are 4 different videos that you dont have to watch! since i hadnt blogged in a while, i tried to get a bit of a variety. enjoy family! xoxo

FOR AUNT SISSY, LEARNING TO SIGN "MORE":
he was a little ticked off when i was making him sign... we'd been doing it for a while and he was hungry!

for grandma and nana
just some fun of owen playing with titus. owen has decided he likes to use a screaming voice now. titus isnt very amused, but is such a good sport.
meanwhile, all of our neighbors have gardens and keep bringing over tomatoes. i used to hate tomatoes, and now i have at least one a day. how on earth did that happen? i guess when youre a poor seminary family, you learn to like whats free! i also just put together a dinner menu for the next 10 days using only what is in our cubbard! we spend way too much at the grocery, so im going to start using a bunch of coupon websites and put together menus that way. i have a friend who did it and is saving hundreds each month. i enjoy doing stuff like that, so im gonna give it a go! first we have to get rid of everything we have though, so the next week or 2 may be interesting eating! nathan doesnt mind :)
im really looking forward to seeing my family in 2 weeks. YAY! owen cant wait to be in florida!

waiting
I'll admit, the only reason that I'm blogging is because I have to wait another hour before I meet Nathan for lunch. But at least I'm blogging, right?
Not much has been going on around our place, except that Owen is become more mobile and I chase him around the house CONSTANTLY. It is kind of unreal. The doctor said that if I cant see him, he is probably in trouble, which is SO true. A few days ago, he pulled an iron lamp off of the coffee table down onto himself. He also made it 5 steps up the stairs before I grabbed him recently (and our stairs have no sides, its scary). He wants to stick his hands in the toilet, tries to pull the oven open, and wants to pull himself up on Titus' food bowls. SUCH a handful!
He went to the doctor and got his big boy shots. He barely cried, such a tough guy. His hair is growing in pretty thick these days, though you can barely see it because he is so blonde. And his eyes are still bright blue, I hope they never change!
Nathan and I are doing great. He started school and is caarazy busy with tough classes while working full time. I am enjoying being home as a mother and Im still figuring out what to do during the day. Im headed to Florida to see my mom and dad and sister, and I am verrry excited! Owen needs to see his Aunt Sissy, for sure.
Here are a few recent pictures. And three different videos. Dont feel like ya have to watch them, theyre mainly for Owen's fabulous family!
Always trying to play with the potty.
He loves the grass.

i love sleep.
i really do love sleep. funny how a teething baby who is up at night can make you realize just how precious sleep is. i guess id be awake at night too if i had 4 teeth coming in up top. ouch.
im sorry to the few individuals who actually read my blog, ive been horrible at updating lately. im going to set a goal of once a week, then maybe a few times a week if i can stick with it. ive been a little busy lately, but i promise ill get back to it! especially for those of you who pester me until i blog again.. you know who you are..
well, everything is great with the baby boy. hes going on 9 months old now. so weird. hes walking along the side of the couch and pulling up on anything he can get his hands on. he got a mosquito bite on his forehead and has rubbed it against the side of the pack n play so much that its turned into a lovely scab. we've gone swimming a few times lately, which he loves, especially when daddy comes. i recently decided that i wasnt going to spend big bucks on diapers anymore and purchased some Luvs because they are cheaper. yeah, im going back to Pampers.. when he is wearing Luvs and i go to change his diaper, my hands get wet just from touching the outside of the diaper. so not ok. speaking of- i took him to the pool a few days ago but realized once i got there that the pool was closed. i put him back in the car seat and made the 3 minute drive home. when we got here, as i took him out of the carseat, i realized that peepee was running down my arm. he had gone potty in his swimming diaper, and apparently they dont hold anything in. it was a delightful mess in the carseat.
nathan just started school this week and he is going to be one busy boy. i also started working a little harder with my stay at home Advocare job, and its been fantastic! just in the last week have i started working like an hour a day instead of 30mins, and my paycheck doubled this pay period. heyo! hopefully ill really be bringing in a decent income within the next few months and we wont have to raise QUITE as much support when we plant a church next summer.
i guess i havent written since i went to the advocare convention in dallas, so here are a few pictures. we got to see grandma, stacy and marla, nana and pop, aunt libby, and aunt tracy and uncle claudio. he was one spoiled boy, thats for sure! heres some pics and videos from the past few weeks...
