A new cousin

Owen's newest cousin was born on January 17. We got to meet Rowan Anthony Schneider today, and the cousins already love each other! And yes, apparently a baby can be smaller than Owen!

Happy Birthday, Kelsey!

Owen's Godsister, Kelsey, turned 4 on January 21. 4! I can't believe it's been 4 years since our darling Goddaughter was born.

Owen and Meghan attended Kelsey's Royal Ball birthday party this past weekend. Owen had a wonderful time (i.e. he mostly slept)! It was great to see a lot of friends there.

Happy Birthday, Kelsey! We love you!

Robin got Owen snuggles!

Open eyes!

My sweet girl!

Evan is getting so big! 10 months

1 month old!

It's hard to believe we've all made it a whole month! Owen is growing and growing, and finding new cute things to do every day!

This month, we've learned quite a few things about our little Owie...

He LOVES to eat!
He LOVES to sleep, almost more than he likes to eat!
He makes duck sounds, zombie sounds, and squeaks, especially after he eats and when he's asleep.
He HATES having his diaper changed.
He doesn't like being put into the carseat, but once he's in...you guessed it - he's asleep!
He loves his swing, but prefers sleeping on Momma or Daddy.
He doesn't like baths, but is ok with his hair being washed, as long as he's swaddled.

Daddy time!

Meghan is usually the one behind the camera, which means we get lots of pictures of Daddy Dan and Owen!

Visitors galore!

We've LOVED having so many visitors come to see baby Owen! It's been awesome having so many people over to love on him, and not judge the state of our house or our clothes ;P

Pop and more Christmas gifts!

Robin got some awake time!

Robin can totally handle 2 under 1. I LOVE this picture! Owen got to meet his bff Evan. I think it went well!

We also had a fabulous visit from Dan's friend Merry from VA. Unfortunately, we didn't get a picture. Thanks for the visit, Merry!

Outside in Winter

We had a couple of days last weekend that were pretty nice, so we decided to take advantage, and give Owen his first outside experience that didn't include a trip to a doctor. Also, his first stroller experience. Don't worry, it didn't last more than 5 minutes...it is December, after all.

Seriously, Momma? What's happening?

Hi Daddy!

That's probably it for a couple of months...see you in the spring!

Owen's First Christmas

This year we had Meghan's family over for Christmas Day. Dinner was brought to us, and we had a great time just relaxing and holding a sleeping Owen! Later, Christmas evening, Jessie, Rachel, and Kent visited. Owen says, "Thank you!", for all of his First Christmas outfits!
