Orglet Part 2: the sequel

Yep, the Orglet's Bloglet is now the Orglets' Bloglet! How much change a simple apostrophe move can bring. Orglet #2 is due Feb. 16th, 2010 - just one day before Owen's 3rd birthday. All is going very well with mom and baby. We had our 18 week ultrasound this morning, and the doctor said the baby looks "awesome." And in case you're curious, they said Orglet #2 is "probably" an Orglette, but (s)he was feeling modest so we don't know for sure at this stage...

You got a match!

Since Owen got his cast we've been spending more time inside doing quiet activities, like jigsaw puzzles. He loves jigsaw puzzles. He has improved very rapidly over the past few months, going from one piece "baby" puzzles to large floor puzzles with 20-30 pieces. It's fun to see the huge sense of accomplishment he gets from completing them. He often says, "you got a match!" when he sticks two pieces together. When he finishes the whole puzzle, he smiles and laughs and either says, "Good job Owen! You did it!" Or, "Well done Owen! You did it!" (depending on whether he's speaking American or English - he is, of course, bilingual). But the best is what happens when there's just one piece left - he goes completely berserk. Sometimes he gets so excited he rolls around the room, holding the last piece and laughing his head off so that he can't even put it in. I tried to take a video of it today, but this time the last piece reaction was very muted - you can see the sense of accomplishment at the end, though...
