We're back...

Yay! Our computer is finally fixed and I was able to download our pictures we had taken over the last month. There are many posts below so keep on scrolling. We're heading to Boone this weekend to see Jeremy's family so I'm sure we'll have some fun pictures when we return. Have a great weekend.

Diaper Wipe Clutches

Now that Owen is napping on a more regular schedule it has freed me up to do crafts again. Crafts now though need to be functional. Since my days revolve around wiping Owen's little tushy, what better craft than a cute little wipe case.


Boring old wipe case.
New and improved! The top is mine and the bottom one was for my friend Kat.

Open view...notice the cute black trim.

Green rick-rack makes this one fun.

This craft was super easy and made really quick. I think it may be a new staple for baby showers to come. :)

Playa

The first weekend in February my long time friend Corey Brown and his wife Lindsey came over for lunch. The Browns have a little girl name Riley that is about 2 months older than Owen. It seems that Owen is quite the little playa these days. If you look closely in the pic, you'll notice that Owen has his arm around here.

Owen: "Hey baby! I like your bow."
Riley: "Um, who are you?"

Riley moves in for the kill: "Hey you know, you're pretty cute," all while putting her hand on his leg.

Natalie better watch out. It looks like he is two timing on the side.

All that macking made him tired. Later that afternoon (after having a major blowout and needing a new outfit) he zonked out on the Boppy.

The Entertainer

Owen loves to stand though he can't do it by himself yet. Because of this, we decided it was time for the exersaucer. The kid loves this thing; it entertains him for 20 mins or more. It is great when I need to wash dishes, fold clothes, or just go to the bathroom. :)

Owen likes the stuffed octupus and fish the most.
Jeremy thinks Owen likes sushi and always laughs as Owen attacks the fish with a vengeance. Many times he will squeal when he thinks the fish should come off into his mouth.

Mr. Crab squeaks which always surprises him.

I love this thing! Thanks cousin Madison for sharing!

(He actually has 2 more now that jump thanks to his cousins Haley and Hunter. One lives at my parents house so he can play there and the other one is still a little big for him and it shaped like a car. We can't for him to be able to use it! Thanks guys!)

Our Vday in Photos

In a previous post, I told you about our lovely Valentine's Day but I thought I would recap again now that I have pictures.

Here is my amazing husband making homemade crab cakes. Isn't he cute in his apron?

Little notes like these were taped all over the house and I had to follow them to my final destination.

My final destination. A beautiful candlit dinner. Afterwards we had chocolate covered strawberries and coffee by the fire along with a sappy movie. It was awesome!

Owen's 1st Valentine's Day

Here is our big boy sitting in his daddy's chair.
It was warm here on V-day so we decided to go outside and play in the yard. Owen's shirt isn't really Vday but if he could say anything..he probably would have said it. He loves to be hug, held, and kissed.

He also loves to stand!

Such a flirt!

Feeding

We started cereal around Owen's 4 month mark. We give him about 2 teaspoons every night and he is getting quite good at it. (The first feeding video will appear soon...I have to figure out how to edit if first.)

Yum!

Open wider...

What? Do I have something on my face?

I must get all of it...even the previous spit up stuff!

We started out feeding him in the Bumbo but he began to lean too much. We brought out the high chair, which allowed us to strap him in. This works much better! Doesn't he look like such a big boy!
