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.


Yummy!

Birthday girl with Mom, Elias and sister Mya


Just a few of her adoring fans!

Happy Birthday Tay!

Owen's New Friend

This is my friend Cristina the day before her baby was born.
She was the perfect pillow so Owen zonked out on her.
This is Owen's new friend, sweet Naomi, born on May 15th! 8lbs 15oz, what a big baby for such a small momma! Congratulations Packham family!

Time to Catch Up

Ok, sorry for the lack of updates, life has been busy as usual. Last Monday (May 15th)Owen rolled over to his side for the first time! He kept rolling from his back to the left side and then to the back again. His little arm kept acting as a speed bump that prevented him from getting over to his belly. We have it on viedo, as soon as I figure out how to post it I will.

My First Mother's Day

Today is my first Mother's Day! It has been a wonderful one! Garett and Owen bought me a book that I love, it's called "You are my I love you". I reccomend it to any parent, especially those with young children. They also gave a New Mommy Survival Kit, complet with an eye mask to shut out the light for day time napping and a deck of cards that have daily suggestions for how to relax and have fun. Thanks for the wonderful gifts!

The next best part of my Mother's Day happened soon after midnight. Owen woke up as he sometimes does during the night. Garett was in the room soothing him, I walked in and Owen cried out "Mommy"! How awesome is that!?! He called me Mommy for the first time on Mother's Day. Good timing Owen. :) It is so much fun for us to watch him learn and grow, trying out new things. We are very proud of our little Owen.

I love being Owen's mother and feel so blessed to have such a happy family. It would not be so wonderful if I did not have Garett as my companion, he is a great support to me and a great Dad to Owen.

Happy Mother's Day to all of our Mom's!
