Party Animal

Odin has quite the social life lately!  Two weekends ago, Nana had a birthday party for all the September babies (Auntie Michele, Auntie Tammy, Daddy and cousin Jessica).  Odin had a lot of fun giving everyone their gifts and helping to open them too.  He tried a little bit of birthday cake. The following day, Aunt Tammy and Uncle Ron had another party for Jessica (what a lucky girl, two parties!!).  Grancy gave Odin some pizza, feta cheese and anything else that was on her plate.  Odin LOVES to eat.  He now gets mad if we are eating and we don't give him anything.  This Saturday we went to Russell Orchards and saw some goats, horses, ducks, swans and BIG pumpkins and ate (of course) some apple donuts.   Odin met baby Landon for the first time, one of Mom's friends from work.  What a cutie!! Later we met a second baby, baby Clayton.  Two new babies in one day, Odin felt like such a big boy!!! Odin gives a shout out to baby Landon and baby Clayton, says you all can chat later and he will you give you both the real scoop!!  Yesterday, the Special Care Nursery at the Beverly Hospital had a reunion.  So, we went and saw the doctors and nurses that treated Odin.  It was pretty cool, there were over 200 families that were attending.  There were babies EVERYWHERE.  But it was so awesome to see how many lives are touched by the good work the doctors and nurses do.  They truly are wonderful people and were great with Odin.  With his

 birthday coming up, it reminds me how grateful I am for their help (and patience during the hysterical times)!  On Sunday evening, Odin spent some time with Auntie Michele and Uncle Garry and had a blast.  First of all, Uncle Garry got Odin some new awesome digs that he couldn't wait to wear.  He thinks 

he is hot stuff.  Odin has walked with pretty much everyone but Mommy and Daddy!!  He has been taking a few steps at Nana's house, but last night, Unc and Auntie got him to walk 4-5 steps!  Now he is off..... tonight he thought he was super man and walking all around (it must be the shirt!!)  He has five teeth now, with more coming in.  He is eating some #3 baby foods and other solid foods.  He is starting to want more solid foods and growing less and less interested in the baby food.  He is still sleeping well.  He has been waking up in the morning after about 11 hours.  He was going to bed between six and six-thirty, getting up around 5am.  So, we have been trying to keep him up a little later so he will sleep in a little bit.  He gets up and after about an hour and a half he wants to go back to sleep and will sleep for another two hours!  He has thinned out 

a bit from being on the move.
