can i just say that my son is a genius? i think about 4 people read my blog, so i dont feel too guilty for bragging. :) hes just so dang smart! he's been signing things for a while now, but hes starting to really sign them with purpose, which makes communicating with him SO much easier. last night, he had eaten about 3/4ths of his dinner, and he signed "all done." i thought he was just signing for fun, but then he turned his head away when i tried to feed him. its very nice to know when hes done, cause im always afraid im going to overfeed him (we had a delightful vomiting experience a few days ago!). he also signs "all done" when we are done reading, and he turns the pages when i ask him to. he signs "more" and we are working on "water," "eat," and "momma." when we sing songs, he sings along with us. he says "no no" and shakes his head (especially when titus is barking). he walks like a champ and manipulates things so well.
ok ok, enough, i know. im just a PROUD mom! this little boy is the light of my life!
nathans parents will be here tomorrow night to take a load of our stuff back to texas. then we move in like 10 days. crazy! we're excited, but just hope a few last minute details can work themselves out. like a job!
gotta get back to the boy, he keeps tumbling out of the laundry basket...

Fun Weekend!
My parents and sister drove in from Florida this weekend, and we had such a good time! The meal was delicious, of course, and Grandma, Grandpa, and Aunt Sissy had a blast hanging out with little Owen. The girls woke up at 6 and did a little Black Friday shopping, which is always a blast. Mom stood in line at Old Navy for over an HOUR while Sis and I tried on different things! ha! It was worth it though, we got some good stuff! We hit up Kohls, Old Navy, Target, Motherhood Maternity, and Macys. Not too shabby if you ask me. I need one more gift and my Christmas shopping is complete! And thanks to the sales, I didnt spend too much money! We had such a great visit with my family, which will be their last trip to Louisville! Here are a few pics from the weekend-
Tons of other pictures are on facebook! Owen got spoiled with lots of attention and lots of presents for his one year birthday! Do I really have a 1 year old????
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNDDDDD, if you havent heard... I'm pregnant. Yeah, its true. Some people know, we just havent spread the word like crazy yet. I'm just starting my 15th week and getting a little belly now. It wasnt planned at all, but Nathan and I are still very very excited! After a sonogram done last night, (done by me :):)) i think its a boy. But honestly, it could be a girl. It's still so early, and the baby wasnt being extremely cooperative. It was fun to see him/her bouncing around and having a good time. It definitely made the whole thing a tad more real! We'll have the baby in Denton right before we move to Austin. It'll be a tad crazy, but great :)
And last, here are a few videos from Owen's first birthday party. He had quite a good time!

friday night lights
nathan and i are completely addicted to the show, friday night lights. i know it came out a while ago, but we just started watching it on netflix. we are in the middle of season two, and its so dang good. there are definitely some inappropriate scenes, but not NEAR as many as the other shows these days. we are really enjoying it and watching wayyyy too many episodes late into the night!
im in a super productive mood today and plan to get a lot done! i need to make some final dr appts before we move, put the finishing touches on a baby shower im hosting this weekend, and pack more boxes! im a packing machine, i tell you. and im a crazy craigslister too! anything that we would normally just take to goodwill, ive started posting on craigslist. $20 here and there really adds up!
meanwhile, owen is growing like a champ. its insane. i cant believe he is almost 1 year old. how the heck did that happen? he is immitating me and being such a big boy. its exciting, but i was packing all of his little bitty baby clothes yesterday and it was so sweet to think of him being that small :) i love my baby boy. here are some recent videos. enjoy!

flu shot
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
WALKING BEHIND HIS NEW TOY:
FEEDING DADDY:
GOOFY BOY:
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!
