Owen has a new cousin! Ellen (Dan's sister) and Derek welcomed a new son on Wednesday 7-11. They named him Zachary Thomas. He weighed 11 lbs 1 oz! Wow Ellen, you are the woman!

Happy Father's Day! I hope all the Dad's had a great day yesterday. These pictures were all taken with Owen's Grandma and Grandpa Baron's camera because I of course forgot mine.


The boy sure does know how to relax!

All the boys except Ryan who is in Colorado. We miss you Ryan! From left: TJ 3 1/2 years, Grandpa, Owen 21 months, Uncle Bill, Dan, Sam 11 months.

We took Owen to the zoo today. We had great weather for it and Owen had fun.



The obligatory John Ball Zoo picture

Watching the tiger

Petting the baby goats. They were only five weeks old!

Checking out the water fountain in the petting zoo area. This was the highlight of the trip. He was MUCH more interested in the fountain than the animals!

Happy Mother's Day! (a day late)

Pictures from Easter


Checking out what the Easter Bunny brought.

Owen, TJ and Sam

Oops!

We got Owen a tricycle but it's still a little big for him. He can't quite reach the pedals yet. It's freezing outside again so we've been playing with it inside. He seems to like it!

Owen turned 18 months on Monday! He's doing so many new things, and he adds new words to his vocabulary everyday now. The past few days he's started to count to three, tells the dog to sit (and says good girl!), and can climb up on the couch now. He loves to eat cheese and raisins are another favorite. He's also started to cuddle a lot more, which I love! He gives lots of hugs and kisses. I'm so glad that the weather is nicer and we can finally go play outside and go for walks again. We were getting cabin fever! Here are some pictures from today and some other pictures too (today's are at the end).

Ready for Mardi Gras!

This is our attempt at a family Christmas photo. Someone had the wiggles!

Catch a doggy by her tail!



















Walking, walking walking! Owen took his first steps back on September 10, but he is really walking a lot more now. It's fun to watch him. He still walks a bit like Frankenstein at this point with his arms out in front of him.

Happy Halloween!
