Play time!

It's finally getting warm outside and I love it!! We have tons of projects outside that we need to do in order to get ready for Owen's first B-Day, which is right around the corner. I have already ordered the invitations and most of the stuff for his party, but of course there's always more to get!! They started our deck today and so far it looks really good and I am really excited to have it finished now that the weather is nice. Owen has FINALLY started drinking out of a sippy cup and I am so excited! Ms.Nyanda said he likes juice in the morning instead of his milk. He really loves eggs and his other favorite food is applesauce. My co-worker Freda gave us her old swing set which is really nice and saved us a lot of money. The swingset is only half way up but Owen was still able to go down the slide.

On top of the world

"Hold on to me daddy"

"woo hoo"

"This is fun"

The railings and steps still need to go up, but it's halfway there.

Taking a stroll

Eric, Owen, and I took a walk tonight and we had some company this time! All the kids were really good and we had great weather, even though it looked like it was going to rain at the very end.

Mikayla: "come with me guys, I'll show you the way!!"

Owen and Bailey: "Get us outta here" lol

Bailey wanted to push Mikayla, but Mikayla wasn't having it!lol

And then the guys decided to play bumper strollers!

 Eric looks mad in this picture, but he wasn't! Owen of course is always happy when were walking!

And of course I had to get a picture of my little man and I, us mommies know how hard it is to actually get in a picture!

Owen's first "boo boo"!

Owen decided to take a plunge in his toy box head first and got his first "boo boo" worth taking a picture of, he was pretty mad and freaked out when it happened but he got over it pretty quickly. Owen has started to walk himself around by holding on to the couch or anything else he can get a hold of, but he hasn't realized that he's not that talented and falls a lot!lol

Owen's "boo boo"

A close up! Doesn't look that bad, but to a 10 month old it's the end of the world! lol

Puffs make everything better!

His teeth are coming in really good but that left one isn't ready to come out just yet!

Runaway Baby!

Let me out of here!

Easter Pictures

Owen went yesterday to get his Easter pictures taken and I think they turned out very good. He has not been very cooperative lately with taking pictures, but we managed to squeeze some good ones out some how!

This is what Owen looked like most of the time!

Cool Breeze

The weather has been so nice we are taking Owen outside every chance we get! We have had  a pretty normal week with nothing really exciting going on. Were doing a lot of outside projects and were getting a deck built next week, which were really excited about. We will finally have an outdoor space where we can eat and relax. I really need to start walking to get ready for our march of dimes walk in April so I don't pass out and look like a fool, so here are some pics of our walk Thursday evening.

"cool breeze" Owen

He likes his sunglasses at first until........

He figured out how to take them off!

"I'm fine without these things"

The whole family in there shades! lol

Happy St. Patty's Day!

No such luck!

I tried downloading "live writer" to my computer and it wouldn't work! I think I am the only blogger who doesn't have it, but it kept saying I had the wrong username and passcode and I know it's right!! Moving on.... I have had a pretty hectic week since coming back from Pittsburgh, but I was so excited to see Owen!! He kind of looked at me wierd when I first came back but once I started playing with him it was like I was never gone!! Owen also is 10 months old!!! He does all kinds of fun things like standing up, clapping his hands, dances, and eats with his hands. He is in size 18 month clothing and we just bought size 4 diapers. He has started to sleep in less on the weekends and usually wakes up around 7:30 and wants a bottle and then he's back in bed 30 minutes later. He still takes a lot of naps and still drinks about 4 bottles a day and has 5 teeth.

Crawling on all fours!

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3!

Ta Da, standing up on his own is a very big adjustment

 for mommy and daddy!! It means a lot more falls!

I did it!

Owen and mommy

Owen chews on EVERYTHING!!

Toys

"look, no hands"

His cheeks are definitely still growing, look at those things!!

Standing up, holding onto the couch.
