First, let me say, the moby was one of the best purchases I've ever made. Owen's upgraded to the regular hold (as opposed to the newborn hold) and he is so happy. I think I'll be able to credit the sling when I go back to work for letting me get anything done. He finally fits in his regular front carrier also, which I trust a little bit more when I really need to be hands free. The problem with that though is it takes two people to buckle it up, so that's more for family outings. And with both of these, since you can't bend over, I am building up some serious thigh muscles from doing squats.

Things that get smiles or mesmerize Owen these days (other than being held) - yellow, vertical stripes, sitting up against my legs while I do sit ups, petting Paul (with my assistance), dancing, and whistling. Also, at my cousin's request, I asked him this morning which hockey team he was going to be a fan of - he yawned at the Blackhawks, grunted and flailed at the Avs, and smiled at the Kings. Atta boy. He also briefly cared about his reflection and has started sort of holding toys, but he's not all that interested yet.

I've been a bit of a camera slacker, which I'm sure I will regret years down the line and I should remedy asap. All of my newest photos have cats in them, but I guess that makes them the best ones to post since the internet is 90% cat photos anyway.
