The Many Tricks of Owen

Owen has many tricks he does for us and I'd thought I'd share them with you. I have a pic. or video of some of them. In no particular order here they are....

1. Making "the face" (nose scrunched up and lips pressed together)
2. Playing tug-o-war with Rosco and his tire
3. When I open the door to let the dogs outside Owen is out the door faster than either dog!!
4. Getting into the puppies' water bowl
5. Reaching Mommy's snow globes on her pretty shelf
6. Gagging on peas and any kind of meat...yummy
7. Looking completely scared in pictures with mommy
8. Saying mama, dada, gaga and baba
9. Blowing strawberries on your arm or leg
10. Pulling up onto things
11. Licking ONLY the bottom of shoes...again yummy
12. Fast crawling and then acting out of breath afterwards
13. Making grunting noises when he is trying to be strong
14. Calling 9-1-1 on a cell phone (ask AA about that one)
15. Standing in his crib...when he is supposed to be sleeping
16. Watching baby einstein..especially baby einstein on the go and baby noah
17. Smiling for anyone...little flirt
18. Pulling on blinds and curtains
19. Being a momma's boy!!

See-there is that scared face!

Instead of picking him up I went and got the camera...mean mommy!
Peas!

8 Months

Owen turned 8 months old this week! We went to the library and participated in the baby books class and he loved it! He sang songs, read books and played with the other children. We also went swimming with Uncle Carson, Aunt Ashley and Gemmy. And, today we went shopping at the new outlets in Houston off 290. They are not as good as the San Marcos ones but I would definately go check them out. They are worth the short trip. On other notes, Owen is a professional crawler and working on the pulling up thing. He has gotten a few bumps on the noggin from pulling up on wobbly legs and then falling over. And, he is super close to having 2 bottom teeth. They have been really bugging him lately and I checked them out today and they are so close to breaking through. He is baby talking a lot now, which I love. He says mama all the time. I don't know if he knows thats me or not because he says mama to Brian, when he is upset and when I have him so who knows. I'm sure he will figure it out. Oh, and Mommy wants O to be able to hold his own bottle so we are going to work on that! Hope you all are enjoying your summer :)

Happy Father's Day!!

This was Brian's first father's day. He had a great day and got many cool presents. On Saturday Owen started saying "mama" and "dada" so that was the best present!
