This is what I learn when I spend to many days with daddy!

springtime fun

2009-04-05T19:39:00.002-04:00

I am enjoying every minute I get outside. The weather is getting warmer and warmer so Mommy and Daddy try to let me run wild outside everyday. I love chasing after the dogs and stepping over big sticks.

my first visit to uncle jay and aunt jennifer's new house!

2009-03-01T10:31:00.005-05:00

The whole family went to see Uncle Jay and Aunt Jennifer's 1st house. I had so much fun running around with no furniture to get in the way. I can't wait to spend the whole weekend over there...hint,hint!

I'm a big boy now!

2009-02-27T18:27:00.002-05:00

2009-02-22T16:49:00.003-05:00

I just learned how to blow kisses. Here's a short video. Sorry i'm so messy mommy let me feed myself, and i'm having a hard time keeping it all in my mouth.

Apple

Wednesday's word is: Apple

Takin' in the sunshine!

2009-02-13T20:59:00.002-05:00

It's been a while since the sun has been out and we all are enjoying it. The dogs love to sit in the sun in my room.

Feeling like myself again!

2009-01-26T20:24:00.003-05:00

I spent the day with mommy's friend Dorene today and we did an art project.

My First Birthday Party!

2009-01-23T20:45:00.003-05:00

Here are a few pictures of my first birthday party. All my family from Illinois came in to celebrate with me so we had to have the party at grandma and grandpa's house. Mom made me a yummy cake and I had a great time playing with all my friends. I was not very interested in unwrapping anything, I was just to busy playing.

The past few weeks have been very busy for our family. Mommy started her new job and so did daddy. I started "daycare" at Callen's house (our neighbor) and am having so much fun. I have really come out of my shell and am talking up a storm. When I see out the window I say "burrr" and grandma heard me say book and I am starting to imitate other words. I also got my top 2 teeth this week! At my 1 year appointment I weighed in at 22lbs 6oz and 30.5 inches. Dr. Kokx said I'm doing great.

My First Hair Cut!

2009-01-23T20:39:00.004-05:00

The pictures say it all! On my first birthday Mom and Dad took me to get my first hair cut. We went to daddy's barber shop and I even go to sit on daddy's lap. I still hated every single minute of it, but i do look cute.

A year ago today.....(by mommy)

2009-01-08T20:37:00.002-05:00

We were in the hosptial, in labor and almost ready to start pushing. I really cannot beleive it has been a year! Owen has grown so much in this short time. He is walking and talking up a storm. He says mama, dada, oggie(doggie), hi(only to the dogs) and lots of other crazy babble. He is drinking whole milk and eats what ever he can get his hands on, encluding stickers (thanks grandma)! He waves hi and bye and knows to go to his room when it's diaper time and nigh nigh time. He has also started giving things to me when i ask for them, he got me the remote the other day, way better than the dogs! He loves reading books and knows the difference between the doggie book and Halloween Jack. He can also pick Wylee out in the dog book. What a smart kid! I thought I would post some of Owen's first pictures, enjoy!

New Year's Eve and other fun pictures.

2009-01-04T20:05:00.004-05:00

This is my sock monkey and me on New Year's Eve. With matching PJs from Grandma!

I love kissing everything!

Including Buster, poor dog.

I finally met my uncle Craig!

2008-12-26T20:55:00.001-05:00

My first Christmas!

2008-12-26T20:41:00.003-05:00

Well I must have been a very good boy this year because Santa was very good to me! I receive way too many gifts, mom had to put some away for the summer. I had fun on all my riding toys and used my new bath toys tonight to scare Buster. I have also learned how to get up to standing without holding on to something and i started whole milk which i love.

tooth #3

2008-12-12T19:59:00.001-05:00

Tooth #3 arrived today! It has been a bump under my gums for a while now and it finally broke through! I will be looking pretty silly with one fang on top, mom will get a picture as soon as it pops through a little more.

more pictures

2008-12-11T20:12:00.003-05:00

Here are a few new pictures. I have been busy destroying the house. I love going in the kitchen and emptying all the drawers and cupboards. I'm still eating good, sleeping great and growing like a weed!

My first Thanksgiving!

2008-12-02T10:16:00.005-05:00

Me with Grandpa Ron and Grandma Bev.

Mommy makes a great turkey!

Cousin Austin and I had a great time running around together!

Here are some pictures from my first Thanksgiving. I enjoyed all the food and family.

What's new.........

2008-11-25T20:02:00.002-05:00

I am still a walking machine. I have mastered picking up toys while standing and continuing on. I also love giving everything kisses, especially Buster and Wylee. I have a cold right now and am starting to get pretty picky when it comes to meals. Mom thinks I'll be getting another tooth soon(upper right lateral to be exact) so i might look a little funny until my centrals come in. I am getting into everything, Mom and Dad have a hard time keeping me out of the kitchen cupboards. I pinched my fingers pretty good tonight and i stayed away from the kitchen the rest of the night. I have a busy week with everyone wanting to see me over Thanksgiving weekend so I'm sure we will have tons of pictures to share, here are a few from this week.

The MONSTER is loose!

2008-11-20T12:55:00.004-05:00

Who let the monster out to destroy the house?

more walking!

2008-11-17T19:30:00.003-05:00

I'm getting so good at walking around. I also have been using just my sippy for the past few days! I am such a big boy now, mom can't believe how fast I'm growing. I started to wave a little and I'm making a effort to clap.

Daddy's working hard.

2008-11-13T20:40:00.005-05:00

Here is my daddy trying so hard to get the Christmas lights to turn on. He worked all day putting them up and 2 days later they still don't work. Oh well, maybe next year!

I am still trying to walk all over the place. I'm getting really good at walking across the room and of course walking to Buster and Wylee. I am also doing a lot better with my sippy cup, I actually finish a whole cup of formula, mommy is really proud!

one more picture

2008-11-11T20:21:00.002-05:00

Thanks Aunt Erica for my cool T-Shirt!

I'm a walking machine!

2008-11-11T20:09:00.003-05:00

I took a little break from walking this past week, then went at it again tonight. I think I'm getting pretty good.

and more halloween pics!

2008-11-11T20:00:00.002-05:00

Mommy put me in Buster's Halloween hat, I hated it!

My play date with Cal

2008-11-02T09:56:00.002-05:00

Here are some pictures from my playdate with Callen. Right now we still don't know how to play together and we pretty much just crawl all over each other. But we are so cute!

Owie man's first Halloween!

This is me with Paul and Mary from down the street, we were all Bats!

This is my BFF Callen that lives across the street.

Me sharing candy with Wylee.

Halloween was so much fun. I made the rounds with Grandma and Mommy. I stopped by to see Busia and Grandpa J, then went to Great Grandma and Grandpa Newberg's (where i saw a pretty peacock-Anna) then we visited all the neighbors. Mommy will post more pictures soon these are the only ones on her camera, enjoy!

I'm getting so big!

2008-10-27T20:05:00.002-04:00

Today I was actually taking a step, not holding on, to get to a new spot. I have also started standing on my own for long periods of time. I love crawling around the house after bath time in just my towel. It won't be long before I take off running.

Hangin' with my family.

2008-10-27T19:59:00.003-04:00

This weekend I also got to see my cousin Anna. We were to busy with the toys to look up at the camera. Grandpa let me climb the stairs, Mom and Aunt Erica were right behind me making sure I wouldn't fall.

My first trip to Robinette's Apple Orchard

2008-10-27T19:52:00.002-04:00

My cousin Mia came in to town to visit and we went to the apple orchard. I had cider and doughnuts and great-grandma Newberg bought me my first pumpkin.

My First Cab Ride.

GO CUBS!(i'm really a Tigers fan)

Mommy, Daddy and I went to see Aunt Erica and Aunt Jessica run the Chicago Marathon. They both finished and did great! I loved riding around and seeing all the people. I also got to play with my cousin Mia and her new puppy Lucy. I was exhasted by the time we left and had a great nap on the way home.

Having fun with my brothers

I had my 9 month check up this morning, Dr. says I'm perfect. i weigh 20 pounds 6 ounces and am 29 inches long. I was the perfect angel and only cried a little after my flu shot.

Having fun with the fam!

2008-10-06T20:05:00.007-04:00

Here I am at Grandma and Grandpa's. Note the new game i like to play when the camera comes out. At the begining you see me moving my head back and forth, no one is sure why I do this but it sure is cute.

My busy weekend.

2008-10-06T19:54:00.005-04:00

This weekend we went to brunch for my Grandma and Grandpa's anniversary. I had 2 waffle sticks and lots of other things Aunt Alissa gave me while mommy and daddy weren't looking. Then we went back to grandma and grandpa's house so everyone could play with me. Here are some new pictures.

Me eating!

2008-09-28T14:16:00.002-04:00

Here I am eating yogurt puffs.

2008-09-28T13:47:00.004-04:00

I am officially a monster. Mommy and daddy are having a hard time keeping up with me. I am crawling all over the house and getting into everything I am not supposed to. I have learned how to pull myself up on any and every thing. I really like standing in my crib and jumping when i am supposed to be taking a nap.

Mommy has let me try all sorts of new foods. I had grapes, waffles and at brunch Grandpa Ron gave me a cookie. Daddy said no and took it away, but i got one bite in. I have also learned how to feed myself. I don't care for my sippy cup anymore. Mommy keeps putting my milk in it and I just push it away until she puts it in my bottle. Enjoy my new pictures.

MY NEW TOOTH

2008-09-25T20:08:00.005-04:00

Last week i got my first tooth and daddy finally got a picture of it!

Getting into trouble....................and more trouble.

My weekend in Chicago

2008-08-18T19:51:00.000-04:00

Mommy took me to Chicago this weekend and we had a great time. We stayed with Aunt Erica, and Aunt Jessica let us stay in her room. We got there around 9:30 and I was still sleeping. I was fast asleep the whole way there and woke up just long enough for aunt Erica to play with me a little. The next morning we went to a yummy Swedish restaurant for breakfast and I had some of mommies pancakes. I like them a lot. Then we went to the farmers market and got some homemade organic baby food that I loved.

On Saturday my cousin Mia came in town to play with me. We had lots of fun looking at each other and playing with each others toys. Mia is almost 11 months old and I am already bigger than she is! I loved watching her crawl around the condo and pulling herself up on the furniture. I won't be far behind, I'm starting to scoot backwards. We also went to visit mom's cousin Tommy and Katie. They are getting married in August and have a big dog named Wrigley that loved to lick my face. I liked pulling all his fur out. I had a great time in Chicago and can't wait to go back in October to watch Aunt Erica and Aunt Jessica run the marathon!

Another Daddy Day

2008-08-14T09:30:00.000-04:00

2008-08-14T09:22:00.001-04:00

2008-07-31T11:19:00.000-04:00

I'm a big boy with my own cup now!

2008-07-24T11:50:00.000-04:00

I liked the water so much my Mommy bought be my very own pool!

2008-07-24T11:44:00.000-04:00

What? I can't hear you because there is something in my ear.

2008-07-07T10:41:00.000-04:00

Owen was a natural in the water. He seemed to be right at home splashing away and riding in his turtle. Bath time will never compare to this!

2008-07-07T10:29:00.000-04:00

Here's a video of my first time in the water with Mommy and Aunt Erica.

2008-07-07T09:06:00.000-04:00

The floor or my crib?

2008-06-21T22:04:00.000-04:00

2008-06-19T14:02:00.000-04:00

This is my first time eating Bananas and I think I like them!

2008-06-19T13:34:00.000-04:00

I don't think I like Pears.

2008-06-12T12:26:00.000-04:00

What a meal, I don't think I can move!

2008-06-12T12:12:00.000-04:00

Play time!

2008-05-29T13:05:00.000-04:00

No dogs barking, nobody poking me, my blanket wrapped up in my arms. I could sleep all day!

2008-05-29T13:01:00.000-04:00

You call this food? Where's the dessert?

2008-05-29T12:57:00.000-04:00

I finally get to sit around the table in my own chair!

Daddy is home!

2008-05-19T19:59:00.000-04:00

Daddy was in Europe for 13 days and now he's back. I'm very happy to have my daddy days back! Every Thursday when daddy watches me, we laugh and nap all day!

2008-05-19T19:48:00.000-04:00

My mommy has been feeding me solid foods for over a week now. I"m starting to get used to it, and I really like them.

HI!

2008-05-05T12:27:00.000-04:00

Here I am after a long day with daddy!

2008-04-29T13:35:00.000-04:00

Owen finally got big enough for his feet to touch the ground.

Off to my first BBQ

2008-04-28T20:12:00.000-04:00

Hi everyone, I went to my first BBQ this weekend. I had a great time everyone told me how cute I was. The BBQ was for Relay for Life. Mommy's helping out at a booth there. It's at Rockford Middle School May 16 &17, and all the money raised goes to The American Cancer Society. Everyone should come out and support cancer research!
