We finally decided to turn Owen around. I know, I know they say to wait until they are a year old and 20 pounds. He has been 20 pounds since he was 6 months old so that isn't a problem and he has much more strength in his body than Ellie ever did at a year. So, we think it is safe to turn him around. Plus having him facing backwards meant that the passenger seat had to be pushed all the way forward which meant that if those airbags ever deployed the passenger would be in serious trouble (most of the time me). All in all we have weighed the pros and cons and feel we are now much safer than we were before.
After the grocery store, we went to get Owen's haircut. I had a coupon for a place so we decided to take advantage. I am not sure that we were impressed by them. I didn't think they did a great job and Daniel said the lady cutting Owen's hair smelled like BO. So, we won't take him back there. She also brushed him off with this brush and ended up getting a bunch of other people's hair on him rather than taking off his hair.
After the haircut, we went to Texas Roadhouse for lunch. We haven't been out to dinner as a family since Owen was a wee one... maybe like 2 or 3 months old. It went fairly well I guess. Owen liked it.
Here is Ellie at the restaurant. She was a little wild. She kept wanting to stand up and look at the people in the booth behind us because they had some big balloons that had Disney Princesses on them. But she wasn't too horrible.
Dad was pretty well behaved as well.
While we enjoyed our meal out as a family, it reinforced the idea that when eating at a restaurant, it is much more relaxing without kids--even though they were pretty good this trip!
After Roadhouse and the babies' wonderfully long naps, the BYU game was on (BYU won 20 to 7). Dan was pretty pumped to watch the first BYU game with Owen. He was awfully proud to have a son to watch the game with. Ellie was a good cheerleader and definitely has that Cougar cheer down!
