Happy Fall

Grandma Hankins helped us get some pictures of Owen in his Froggy outfit and then did some photo editing to spruce up the photos.

Cousins

Owen and Addi cute as can be in their Halloween costumes. Awww...

Fall Leaves

Oh the beautiful colors of fall!!

Wahoo!

The past two nights Owen has gone 12 hours between feedings! I had to get up a couple times to give him his paci, but hey, I'd say this is a LEAP in the right direction! (The best I was getting before was 5-6 hours between feedings.)

Owen knows just how to melt his mommy's heart---

This is the greeting I get from my little guy when I go to get him from his crib in the mornings.
~a giant smile, refreshed and excited eyes, with a little jig of a dance~

Every baby needs a rubber ducky

All clean!

Pals

Hey, whatcha doin?

Cool trick! I can roll over too!

Ooops, can't QUITE keep my balance yet...

If only Barkley knew how much fun he will be able to have with Owen in a couple years....Right now Barkley knows to keep his space and be careful around Owen--even to the point that when Owen reaches out to touch him Barkley pulls away.

Excited

5 Months Old

Here is Owen in an outfit his daddy wore as a baby. Owen wants everything in his mouth so it was kinda hard to get a picture with him not grabbing the blanket. Daddy helped out in distracting Owen and we captured some cute expressions! He is just soo precious!

Saving the best for last....

...RIGHT after rolling over...

If I put Owen on his tummy, he will immediately roll onto his back and assume this postion--holding it as long as possible in order to see as much as possible...

He wants to sit up independently SO bad!! The balance factor is playing against him right now...but he's soooo close!
