Owen's Baptism and Fathers Day

What a day! I got to celebrate Fathers day and the Baptism of our son on the same day. Owen was so well behaved - with a smile for everyone in the congregation.


Owen barely even flinched each of the three times that Pastor Rick poured water on his head.


Later, I took Owen up for the childrens' message.

After church, we stopped by Brooke's cousin Laura's house for a Fathers Day lunch. Check out my sweet hat.

While Dad's off feeding his face, Owen was content to just relax in the shade.

We had an eventful morning, and Owen couldn't quite make it home. I walked upstairs, making all kinds of noise - with sunlight in his eyes, and he never woke up....

...but a nap is like hitting the reset button!


Time to play outside and get a little sun.

Owen has started playing games whenever it's time to eat. One of his favorites is putting his head to one side and looking up at us with a shy smile. When we copy the move, he just laughs and giggles...and repeat.

Sweet little Owen!

Here is our "sweet" little Owen showing off his new teeth. I don't even think I need to explain how his personality has developed lately.... I think the picture says it all.

C'mon Summer!

It seems Owen is getting teeth faster than I can type this blog entry. He has 5 in and is working on 3 more. Poor baby is drooling like crazy, and Matt and I walk around with huge wet spots on our clothes from it. He will be 8 months old on Sunday...maybe I should have waited a few days to blog! We are enjoying being outside more. Owen LOVES being outside. April, his babysitter, takes him on all kinds of outings during the day and says he gets SO excited when he sees birds and other animals. He is starting to lean into the crawling position but just kinda scoots around right now. He hasn't quite figured out the hand/foot thing together yet! I am on the school countdown...3 1/2 more days and then I get to hang with Owen every day!

Owen loves to mimic sounds and faces now. So fun:)

This is the only pic I have where you can see his top two teeth.

Rock and Roll LEGEND....so the shirt says!
