Owen and I had a rough day.  It turns out that he was coming down with a cold, so that kind of explains it.  The stroller attachment arrived today that allows Owen to stand and take a ride and fits with any of our existing strollers (and is smaller than a double).  Score!  Owen was SO excited when we went out for a walk today.  His mood changed from absolutely foul all day to absolutely giddy.  When he gets happy, watch out, he's happy about everything!!  He was SO happy that he spontaneously pipes up on our walk...
"Mommy, mommy, fank you SO much for bringing Asher to dis family!  Mommy, I am so glad dat my brother is my best fwiend and fank you, fank you for bringing him to our family!" 

Asher was pretty hilarious on the walk too.  He was wearing his baby mittens that have no thumbs...first time I put them on him (since he's too active to keep himself under his carseat blanket anymore).  He kept holding his hands up in front of his face and quizzically examining these fluffy toys that had seemingly replaced them.  Then, he would dive bomb his mouth with one of the mittens and nom, nom, nom away.  I'm not sure if he quite understood that he was controlling them or not.  Then, about 3/4 through the walk when I noticed they were completely sogged, I took the mittens off.  He didn't look down at his hands before another bout of sticking them into his mouth, and he had such a shocked look on his face when he felt fingers instead of mittens.  He pulled the fingers out and just looked and looked at them for a minute.  Owen was watching all of this too and started cracking up...it really was funny.
