Owen had a great time at the beach last week. He loved the sand. He loved playing with it and crawling around in it. He wasn't too sure about the water at first, but he started to like it more towards the end of the week. More beach pictures to come soon.

Owen's cousin was born Sunday July 23 at 6:48 pm. 7 lbs 14 oz and 19 1/2 inches long. They named him Samuel William and everyone is doing fine. He's absolutely adorable.

Owen turned 10 months old yesterday. It's been an eventful month! He learned how to sit up from a laying down position, how to crawl and how to pull himself up on furniture, which he especially loves to do in his crib when he's supposed to go to bed.

I am very busy following him around all day, and the dog is very busy running away from him!

On Saturday Owen will have his first trip to the beach, we'll be out there all week. Let's hope the weather cooperates! It should be fun.

Owen is going to have a new little cousin any day now!

Check it out! My little guy is crawling! He still needs to work on his technique a bit, but he's getting where he wants to go. He is so busy with the crawling though he has informed me he has no time for naps. He has too many things to explore now. Sleep? Mom, are you crazy? Who needs sleep anyway?

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July! We had a little barbeque with my mom and Dan's family. Owen had a great time wearing Aunt Libby's glasses and charming everyone.
