Singing in the Rain

This is a pretty old picture but I thought it was too cute not to share. Owen just LOVES this movie. He loves music and dancing. I used to sing this song to him and dnace him around when he got upset and he would automatically smile until I stopped singing. Even now, if he’s [...]

Owen is growing up!

I’ve been a horrible blogger lately. Owen likes to try to type for me when I get the computer out so I’m not on it as often. Our little Owen sure is growing! He got TWO teeth at 4 1/2 months and at 6 months he is getting two more! As cliche as it sounds, [...]

Piggy piggy.

Owen had his 4 month check up a few days ago (he’s actually 4 1/2 months already! We were a little behind) and he is still…
BIG.

He is in the 75th Percentile for his Height
25 1/2 inches
and 95th Percentile for Weight
18 lbs
He is definitely a big boy! He is so funny nowadays. He talks to himself [...]

nap time.

Owen doesn’t like to be swaddled for his naps anymore since he isn’t swaddled at night but he was having a little trouble figuring it out. I admit I told myself I wouldn’t ever do this because I like our bed to be ours and not our kids bed, but I couldn’t help it! He [...]

Peanuts & Cracker Jacks.

Ryan & Evelyn took us to the baseball game with his work, Sandia Labs. It was so much fun! We had FRONT ROW SEATS & money to burn on the delicious food. We scarfed on a GIANT hot dog (I didn’t know they had regular sized ones!), nachos, & some yummy ice cream. Ahh, it [...]

Visits.

So I wasn’t so great at keeping up the night by night posts. Owen did really well and we have a blissful 3 weeks until he started really teething. Even now he’s not too bad. On the nights he is though I scratch my head and wonder how anyone has more than one child. Live [...]

tough love, night II

Last night went well! I was a little worried because at the end of his bottle his eyes were wide open! I felt awful thinking of how loud he would cry if I laid him in his crib AWAKE. He continued to give me the stare-down-puppy-dog-eyes for another 10 mins until finally I put him [...]

tough love, night I.

With Tim returning to school in a few weeks & me loosing steam we are biting the bullet & giving Owen some tough love. We decided it was time to let Owen learn to sleep on his own like a big boy. We were really nervous & almost chickened out. I bugged everyone that I [...]

i’m so glad when daddy comes home.

Owen loves his Dad. It sometimes makes me jealous that Tim can talk in a normal voice and Owen will burst out laughing. He can always get a laugh out of him & Owen usuaully only prefers me when he wants to go to sleep. I was able to put my envy aside when I [...]

oh, there you are!

I’m having a bit of a vain moment. I’m posting this picture because I think I look more like my old self, FINALLY. 3 months later and I only have 5 more lbs to lose! Hooray! I was actually able to button AND zip my size 0 pants a week ago but my 00 things [...]
