Handsome in Black and White

Chase had a school project due last week, here are a few of the photos he took of Owen, aren't they so adorable?

8 months

8 months already! Where has the time gone? Owens getting so big! In the last month he started rolling all over the place, mostly out of necessity to get grandmas Christmas tree. He also can sit up if he wants, but most of the time chooses to just lay down and play, and roll around. He can say ma ma ma, and na na na when he's angry. Still no da da da though(Chase makes sure to work on this often with him.) He also learned to drink from a straw, and loves to share drinks if you'll let him. He loves to eat, and will grunt and mmmm the whole time he's eating if he really likes what he's having. He can clap, and almost wave bye bye. Still no teeth, or crawling though. He sure seems to be getting cuter and cuter every day, and he knows how to melt a mammas heart.

First haircut

After a few months of putting off giving Owen his first haircut, and his hair in the back getting rattier and rattier. I finally did it on his 8 month birthday January 14, 2010. Thanks to auntie Brena for the help with the cut, cousin Camden for the entertainment, and daddy for all the photos.
Owen did really well during the whole thing, and just sat in his bumbo and played with his toy, and a comb. He did have a few snacks along the way, but only after he freaked out for a few seconds. I can't believe how big my baby is getting, but he sure looks cute with his fo-hawk again!

Sad to see the length on the top go

The finished product, I don't think he approves
