Ava's Birthday!!!!!

This is a special song Owen wanted to sing to Ava, his favorite cousin!!

Happy Baby

This is one of my favorite pics - Owen started smiling around 2 weeks and he laughs in his sleep - it's so cute!

Family Reunion '09

Owen's first family reunion with Cara's side. It was fun ... Ben drove the train so he was excited. Yes, that's actually a real train in my cousin's backyard. Miles of track over bridges, near water and through tunnels - pretty sweet!

Baylor?

Someone wants him to be a Texan... I'm okay with that but seems his head is too big for Baylor:) (Taylor Maybe)

Post-bath nap... he likes being cozy and warm (and cuddling with mom)

Not shy in the tub. Hopefully we'll be doing some swimming lessons in just 5 months!!

We finally caved... after 4 weeks of holding to our guns. He discovered his fist and made a funny whistling noise. This was my best attempt to capture the moment.

Just another day

He's a good sleeper... for 45 minutes intervals.

Poppi likes holding his little buddy... especially when he has an "I love grandpa" shirt on.

Owen gets lots of visitors. Tracy and Ashley came to see him all the way from Maryland. We decided that if Ashley is my cousin, then she is Owen's second cousin? and my Aunt Tracy is now his great Aunt Tracy. We could be off a little.

A few good photos

Grandpa and Grandma visit a lot. We keep telling them just to sleep here... although I would go home every night too if a hide-a-bed was the other option.

Look what I found in the laundry... I think he likes the smell of softener.

Here's our Holland Christian advertisement. We'll have to try when he is a little more photogenic.
