Oden's Continueing Big Boy Adventures

Oden is getting to be such a Big Boy, and he is recording multiple 'firsts' almost every day.

Just this weekend, we outfitted his play fishing pole with a real hook, sinker and bobber, and he caught his first fish all by himself at the bridge on Tuscarora Creek. Daddy and Oden decided to go fishing, and both daddy and Oden caught 3 little sunfish each. It was lots of fun, and we practiced the 'catch and release' strategy, although Oden was very excited to some day catch a fish that could "feed the whole family".


Here is Oden reeling in his first fish!

It was pretty tiny, so we threw it back.....
But Oden had lots of fun, and caught a total of 3 fish for the day... a good haul for a rookie.

Just today, while picnicking with momma at the gazebo, Oden climbed a tree all by himself. He had no help from momma, and was very excited when he climbed into the tree all by himself proclaiming "Look, Momma! I a Big Boy!" It is too bad Daddy was at work, but he looks forward to observing Oden's bigboyclimbingskills soon.
