Eating Breakfast

Not much eating happened this day! Owen doesn't fall asleep just anywhere so this was a shock for us. Poor thing had been sick and not sleeping at night, so he was just exhausted.

Easter 2011

We had a wonderful Easter! The easter bunny spoiled Owen, and brought him a new outfit, some bubbles, a few easter trucks, a bunny shaped bumble ball, and his first pair of converse. Owen didn't really care much about his basket, and only wanted to pull on the laces in his new shoes.

Owen loved all the plastic easter eggs that we gave him for his photos. He kept picking them up and banging them together, or putting them to his mouth and blowing on them.

We also gave him a chocolate bunny to enjoy in the studio. He would put the ears in his mouth for a few seconds, then pull them out and smack his lips together. I think he liked it. After all was said and done he was a pretty messy boy, and the back of the bunnies ears had a hole where he had ground his teeth into them.

His basket wasn't hidden very well
Every time the little tree got anywhere near him he would cringe and try and get away from it.

First lick

After a few licks

Testing out the butt, maybe it's as good as the ears

Messy boy loved eating the easter bunny

11 months

11 months already! Look how big our little monkey is getting. He is learning so much every day and has quite the funny little personality. He sure can be sassy. Other things he's doing.

-Cruising around the furniture like crazy

-Eating everything in site, some of his favorites are black beans, gold fish crackers, and graham crackers

-Crawling on his knees finally

Napping

I left Owen with his grandma the other day, so I could go to the dry pack cannery. He refused to fall asleep while she was holding him. Instead he got down to play, was enjoying climbing in the swing, and fell asleep. This doesn't happen very often, he usually has to be swaddled up pretty tight and rocked to sleep. Guess he was exhausted from all the playing.

Snowboarding

A few weekends ago Chase and I were able to head up to Brighton for some snowboarding, or in my case some butt sliding. I hadn't been for over 2 years, and so I spent a lot of time falling on my behind. After listening to some of the ski instructors working with the little kids, I finally figured it out. If you don't look at your feet or the ground right in front of you, you don't fall. Go figure, it's kind of like driving and looking out into the horizon. We had a wonderful time being together, and only a few tears were shed. Thanks babe for the fun day, and thanks Grandma Vicki for watching Owen for us!

A favorite game

Auntie Brena was nice enough to let Owen borrow this fun peek-a-block cube. He could care less that it lights up and makes noise and spins. All he wants to do is throw the blocks on the floor. Hey whatever makes him happy right!

Splish splash

Splish, splash, I was takin' a bath
Long about a Saturday night, yeah
A rub dub, just relaxin' in the tub
Thinkin' everythin' was alright

Well, I stepped out the tub
I put my feet on the floor
I wrapped the towel around me and I
Opened the door

And then a-splish, splash
I jumped back in the bath
Well, how was I to know
There was a party goin' on?

There was a-splishin' and a-splashin'
Reelin' with the feelin'
Movin' and a-groovin'
Rockin' and a-rollin', yeah, yeah

Bing, bang, I saw the whole gang
Dancin' on my living room rug, yeah
Flip, flop, they was doin' the bop
All the teens had the dancin' but

There was lollipop with a Peggy Sue
Good golly, Miss Molly was-a even there, too
A- well-a, splish, splash, I forgot about the bath
I went and put my dancin' shoes on, yeah

I was a-rollin' and a-strollin'
Reelin' with the feelin'
Movin' and a-groovin'
Splishin' and a-splashin', yeah

Yes, I was a-splishin' and a-splashin'
I was a-rollin' and a-strollin'
Yeah, I was a-movin' and a-groovin'
We was a-reelin' with the feelin'
We was a-rollin' and a-strollin'
Movin' with the groovin'
Splish, splash, yeah

Splishin' and a-splashin'
One time I was splishin' and a-splashin'
Ooh, I was movin' and a-groovin'
Yeah, I was splishin' and a-splashin'

10 months

Well Owen turned 10 months old over a week ago, but I was waiting for Chase to make the photos a usable form. He shoots in RAW and I needed them in JPG. Guess I could learn to do it myself, but since I can't get near the computer without Owens help I don't get blogs up or do much very often.
This months big accomplishments are:
-Two teeth
-Standing up against everything, but not cruising
-Waiving hello and goodbye
-Blowing kisses
-Saying Da da da
-Still army crawling, but he now moves his knees. Now if only he could get up on those knees and hands.
Now onto the show. Look how much he's growing.



Clapping for the camera




What a little monkey. I'm so in love!

Teeth teeth

Yep that's right, Owen has 2 teeth. We couldn't be happier that they finally came through. He sure gets grumpy when he's teething, and doesn't sleep at night. I think we might actually have a few more coming in since he constantly has a finger in his mouth to chew on, and drool running down his chin. He has a few little teethers he likes, but his fingers seem to work much better.
They are growing in a bit crooked, but the dentist assured us that it's completely normal, and not to worry.

Look at them, aren't they so cute and tiny.

Army Crawlin'

Owen learned to army crawl over a month ago. He still hasn't learned to crawl up on his knees. He occasionally tries to get up on his tippy toes and crawl that way. Don't you just think he's the cutest.

To be able to get this video we had to bribe him with the computer. He sure loves his electronics!
