We're Back!

Well, we didn't actually go anywhere, we just didn't update the blog for a couple days! We actually didn't take any pictures for a couple of days! What's wrong with us!? We apologize to the fans.

Owen is fantastic. As Travis mentioned, he's started laughing, which is pretty much the cutest sound in the whole world. He's a pro with his hands now. He reaches out and grabs everything. Just today he discovered his own feet and played with them for a couple of minutes.

"How you doin'?"

"No really ... how you doin'?"

"Hahaha. My mommy is funny!"

"Mmmm.. this finger is GOOD!"

"Ack! I just gagged myself!"

new sounds

It was a big day today as Owen made his first real laugh. The best part was I got to witness it first but was even able to get Owen to do it again for Mommy. Her task for tomorrow is to get it on video, good luck.

Funny Face Day

Exclusive Video

Owen has been rejecting video interview sessions but I managed to capture this exclusive video. He fought me and wasn't too happy about it though!

Having fun with Daddy

And proof that he does sleep during the days I watch him, let's just ignore the wet spot for the time being and be thankful he is asleep on his own.

With the 1st pick in 2025 draft

Owen is already in training

Check out my legs

Here is some proof of Owen's traumatic day at the doctor, both legs unfortunately.

Four Month Doctor Visit

Owen weighed in at a massive 13lbs 3oz today, he is 24.5 inches long (we think this is conservative though as the measurement method isn't what you'd call precise) and is otherwise doing great. He had to have four more shots though, so it's been a rough day so far. He is declining interviews and photograph requests so far today, hopefully this afternoon.

Love at First Sight

Owen got to meet Amara yesterday!

Look What I Can Do!

I can lift my booty waaaay up into the air!

I can army-crawl and scoot around dragging my big baby belly!

I can lift my head and shoulders way off the ground now! Now if only I could do this and the booty lift at the same time, I'd be able to crawl!

And I've finally got this toy-grabbing and sticking-it-in-my-mouth thing down!

Video from the Park

Admittedly not the most exciting video, but video nonetheless for those of you having Owen-withdrawals. You can hear the lovely sounds of all of the construction in our neighborhood in the background!

Who Needs Toys?

All Owen needs for entertainment is the great outdoors. He loves to be outside!

Sucking on his hands while admiring the view.

It's a good view, can you blame him?

Owen's Big Day at the Pool

Since Owen has a swimsuit now he wanted to try out the pool, he was a little unsure of it first with his toes, but after a few minutes he loved it and is ready to go back. Pictures are courtesy of Grandma poolside.

Owen says he has had enough of the paparazzi

Escape Artist

Owen makes it pretty clear when he's had enough of his car seat, baby seat, or any other seat these days. He plants his feet and arches his back to try to get out. In his baby seat, he works his way down till his legs are hanging out the bottom. He's very squirmy!

He's also figured out how to roll over in both directions now, although tummy-to-back only makes a rare appearance. Yesterday he managed to roll all the way from one end of the blanket to the other by rolling over three times in a row from back to tummy to back to tummy!
