Owen - 6 months

I have NO idea how it happened but our little boy is 6 months (well 6.5 months now!) I got some cute pics of the kiddos together (which is near impossible with a toddler and baby!!) But first some updates on what our little guy is doing:

- he sits up by himself now and loves it!
- he scoots around - esp on his back which is just hilarious and adorable
- he talks, talks, talks. He responds to us when we talk to him and especially to Morgan.
- just like big sis, he thinks the dogs are hilarious.
- he's wearing mostly 9 mo clothes, some 12 mo and very few 6 mo.
- he wears size 4 diapers (um...same size as sister does for nap/bedtime!!)
- he's tried: avocado, applesauce, whole peas, chunks of sweet potato and a few bites of banana. Pretty much all he acts like I'm poisioning him. Ha!
- putting things in his mouth, playing in the exersaucer, jumping in his jumper, scooting towards toys, cudding with mommy & daddy, watching sister, checking out his hands and getting his diaper changed are his current favorite things :)

No true blog post just a bunch of random pics :)

sweet kids

she woke up from her nap and demanded a paci (which she has never taken) and acted like a baby for about 20 mins. Love that she's wearing her big sis shirt for this :)

Happy happy girl

gymnastics

Last month we joined a new playdate group and have had so much fun meeting new moms and kids! We've done some new fun things that we didn't know about and so far our favorite is "open gym" at a gymnastics studio. Morgan is definitely getting more and more adventurous which is so fun to watch. Owen just hangs out with me in the sling and usually naps :) One of the moms is like our own papparatzi so I am actually in a few pics! Whoo!

Houston

Me and the kids headed down to Houston for the week last week. On the way we picked up my sis Heather and her 4 month old sweet baby Sadie. Heather spent the majority of the rest of the ride with her hand in the backseat calming Owen (and sometimes Sadie, but mostly Owen!) Up until we picked her up they slept. Whew. The week was fun and busy. We saw lots of people and it was the first time for Jarid's sisters to meet Owen. We took the "Jackson" grandkids pics (4 of them!) and the "Cottrell" grandkids pics (8!!!!) and I can't wait to edit them and post them.

I also got to spend some time with my high school girlfriends :) And we ended it off with celebrating my nephew Jonah's first birthday! All around it was a great trip and I'm loving being able to stay home with my kiddos and do things like this!
Owen just LOVES his Sadie!

this was how we rolled

the world's most kissable cheeks!

Happy 1st birthday to my sweet nephew Jonah!

"ohhh this looks interesting"

"ok, I'll try it.."

"Yep. I like it. More chocolate cupcake bears please!"


End result. I think it kinda says it all :)

Morgan also enjoyed the yummy cupcakes!
