Are exploring!





















Owen is feeling like a very brave boy these days...notice his one hand stance on the scary coffee table (although the scary coffee table now has bumpers). I love how his other hand looks like he's saying, "Come on, Mom." I'm sure I'll see that look many times in his teen years.

Owen knocked down the tissue box and wanted to get it so badly! It took him quite awhile but he finally figured out how to get down to it without falling....here's his progression. You can actually see how hard he is thinking about getting down there!






Of course, as soon as he got it he was done with it and started to crawl to get the camera!

We attempted a walk in this chilly weather we've been having lately because we were both getting sick of being inside and arguing about whether or not Owen should be able to climb up the Christmas tree/pull up on the fireplace. We had a Christmas Story moment when Owen fell down in his puffy coat....poor baby. :)





Daddy and I decided to take Owen out to see Santa and do some shopping on Saturday evening and we thought the best outfit for Owen to do this in was his very own Santa costume! Needless to say he was a big hit around town! He wasn't scared of Santa at all and sat nicely on his lap. I'll see if I can figure out how to scan a picture (or just make Dan do it) to post soon.


In this picture Owen is clapping! He does it every time you say, "Yay."


Loving on our little Santa Claus when we got home.

Are crawling

Owen has started crawling this week! It's still a bit awkward but he's doing it :) He gets so excited when he gets to the things that he wants. So far his main targets are:
1. George
2. Henry
3. The door stoppers that go boiiiiiing
4. The Christmas tree
5. His riding toy from Uncle Matt and Aunt Julie (that one is a big hit)

Owen woke up at 5:40 this morning, which sounds awful, but it's not so bad when you have to be up early with a baby that's this happy! He's such a giggle box in the morning and he looooooves breakfast foods so it's fun to feed him in the morning...this morning he had oatmeal and blueberry yogurt and ate almost 6 ounces of food! Of course it also helps that I stayed up until 7:30 and then tagged Daddy and went back to sleep until 9.


It took Dan and I two hours to figure this whole video thing out so hopefully we'll be posting them more often in the future! Enjoy :)
