I've been waiting to make this post until I had some good news to share on the home buying front, so I'm pleased to finally announce that we have bought a house! It is in Muscatine (where Ryan works), which is about a 40-minute drive from Davenport where our families live. We officially closed on our house in Seattle a couple weeks ago, and we've been living with the Petersons since October, so we were R-E-A-D-Y for this day! (Actually, we're ready for April 30 when we're set to close and can actually move in, but we're still excited now, too.)
Owen continues to thrive and is soooooo close to crawling. (I can't wait to make that post!) He sits very well now and is eating lots of new finger foods. Some of his favorites are bananas, Cheerios, and cheese. I keep hearing that "stranger anxiety" will likely set in soon, but so far, he is a champ with everyone he spends time with. Mommy and Daddy really appreciate that both grandmas can help watch him so we can have a little time to ourselves every now and then.
The weather is finally getting nicer, so we've been able to get outside with Owen much more lately. He even got to swing at the park for the very first time just the other day with his buddy Will. The next few months promise to be very busy as we prepare for our move and participate in the various events leading up to Aunt Rachel and soon-to-be Uncle Todd's wedding. Life is SO good!

O loves his musical jungle toy from Aunt Janan and family at Christmas. He's finally old enough to play with it now!
