We moved to NY state on 8/25, and we are really getting settled now. There are only a few boxes that remain unpacked, most of our furniture is in place, and we just love it here so much. Owen was a little out of sorts for a couple of days, but yesterday and today he did great! Back to his happy, smily self. In the back we have a gorge and he just loves to splash in the water (splashing in the tub is also a much enjoyed activity now). We've been taking him for walks in the woods and spending a ton of time outside. Tonight he got to see his first campfire, he didn't really care, but I thought it was neat.
He has so much room to just roll around and play here, inside and out. We all really needed this move, it is just perfect for us. The people here are friendly, the air is clean, everything is beautiful.. there are even chipmunks that come and hang out on our back porch.
It's always been a challenge to cook dinner because dinner time is usually Owen's "I really need your attention now" time.. but here since the layout is so open, he is just happy to play with some toys in the living room because he can see me the whole time.
Speaking of dinner, guess who is finally into food? He loves applesauce, yogurt, bread.. I've been giving him little bits of what I eat and he seems to like that better than any puree I've tried to give him in the past. It's really cute when he chews..
Just wanted to let everyone know, we are really happy here. It's what we've always wanted but we didn't know until last June. I hope everyone comes to visit at least once so you can roll around on the floor and splash in the gorge and go for long walks in the forest.. it is just the best.
