Owen first taste of the foot

I was doing the dishes the other day and turned around to check on Owen and I caught him with his foot in his mouth-a first. I quickly grabbed the camera and tried to capture the moment to share with Daddy later. I was doing my best to go unnoticed.

Yum the big toe! (Check out those leg rolls!)

Babies are amazingly flexible.

Ah! He caught me!

Food! Not So Glorious Food!

Today I took Owen to the MD to see about a cough and I expressed my concern about him slimming down (I can almost feel his ribs), she chuckled just a little and reassured me that I could relax. She did say that he was ready for single ingredient foods if I was ready, so today we tried rice cereal mixed with formula. Here is Owen's version of how it went:

What the heck? What is this?

Gross! Mom no! Please no more!

Dad help! She isn't stopping! Should I fake gag?

Fine, I'll get rid of it myself!

The food was not as well received as I thought it would be, I guess we will have to try again tomorrow. Owen, by the way, is now up to 18 lbs-not a pound lost.
I guess that he is just getting longer and spreading out the pudge.

A cousin gathering

Taylor came and spent the night on Friday then Heidi and Mya came to get her the next evening. Owen was thrilled to have visitors. As you can imagine, getting 10 and 4 month old babies along with a 5 year old to sit still for a picture is a challenge. While the following picture are not "picture perfect", they do a great job of showing reality.

Also, a special message to MiMi and PiPa:

"We love you and miss you all the time, Hugs and Kisses!"

love, Taylor, Mya and Owen

Thank you Aunt Sissy and Aunt Wendy

Owen is sporting this snuggly onsie that Aunt Sissy and Aunt Wendy bought him. It's incredible that it is size 6-9 months and Owen at 4 months is fitting in it.

Yum, fingers.

Owen in deep thought; just proves that there is more to life that being really really good looking.

Happy Owey

Look there's a baby squished between those cheeks!
(This is the I'm done, put me to bed look.)

Good Night!

First Time in the Pool!

Today was Owen's first time in the pool. To our suprise he was reactionless.

Taylor's 5th Birthday Party!!!

Happy Birthday to Taylor! Taylor is now the big 5! While happy to finally be 5, she is quick to tell you that she will be 6 next year. We celebrated at Bonner Park in Conyers, enjoying a great cook out, monkey'n around in a tree, pin the hat on the dragon, hitting a #5 pinyatta (sp?) and cookie cake! Taylor was blessed with many gifts that she really enjoys!

Monkey business

These are some smart kids! Not one of them missed! They were all clever enough to feel the outline with there hands. We are going to have to make this more difficult next time.
