California baby!

Chillin' in the airport before our flight to California - you'd never know he'd been up since 4am. He was more awake than any of us! Luckily he slept on the plane:) We went to California so Ben could stand up in a wedding for one of his college friends.

Our first swim! The weather wasn't swim-worthy, but hey we're from Michigan and 55 degrees feels warm to us in January :) We didn't swim long, but he did enjoy it - we're excited for this summer and lots of pool time!

Relaxin' in the hotel in his swimming trunks (they came with a built-in diaper!). Mommy and Owen spent a lot of time relaxing in the hotel room while daddy helped set-up the wedding. Owen loved rolling around on the big bed and did a great job the whole trip. We didn't stick around long after the wedding but it was still a fun adventure.

First Feeding!

It was so cute - he kept sucking his thumb between bites:)

I think daddy had more fun with this than Owen:)

First bite! He did a great job and seemed to like it so we were excited :)

Baby's First Christmas!

Say cheese! Owen was the best gift of all this Christmas, so daddy put a bow on his head while we opened up presents. We had so much fun, he's such a happy baby:)

Christmas morning at Grammy & Grampy's house - He slept in reindeer pj's of course.

Caught on camera! Cousin Jason and Owen hanging out at Mimi & Poppi's house. Jason's a natural with him, Owen was very relaxed.

Christmas at Mimi & Poppi's house. Owen started out as a reindeer and ended up as Santa (we love costumes!)

Picking out the Christmas tree - we were excited to meet up with Uncle Matt & Ava. (Notice Owen's reindeer costume - we couldn't resist!)

Yay! We love the snow & Christmas time! This is my favorite pick of Mommy & Owen taken outside when we picked out our tree. Daddy's a great photographer :)

Adventures of a 4-month old

Believe it or not, that's a real owl staring Ben in the face ... yikes!

And yes, that's a hawk giving Owen the stare-down ... a little too close for comfort if you ask me! We had a fun day at the Outdoor Discovery Center and can't wait to take him back when he gets older.

It was cool to see a hawk so close! We even watched it eat ... kinda gross, but cool.

One of his new favorite toys - he loves his jumpy seat.

Mimi bought matching monkey shirts for Owen and cousin Ava, so we had to take some pics. He loves watching Ava bounce around the house - it will be fun when he can chase her around:)

Happy Thanksgiving! Daddy made Owen some turkey feathers ... it might just become a Thanksgiving tradition. It was so fun to have him join the festivities since last year we announced his arrival at Thanksgiving and everyone was excited.

New Laugh

When he starts to laugh he just can't stop!

Learning to talk

He likes to talk now... today is laid in bed for 2 hours talking and yelling at the animals in the mobile above his crib (5am was too early to wake up).

Here he is in his jumpy... he can touch the ground on his tiptoes but enough to enjoy the feeling of walking around.
