golfing anyone?

posted by owen

i'm starting to like playing with my golf clubs and now i like to wear daddy's golfing hat. i have some work to do on my game, but it's coming along. mommy and daddy bought me a toddler set that includes a driver, iron and putter...plastic of course. daddy's is gonna take me to the driving range soon and let me do some putting on the greens. since daddy has not worked on the yard yet, the brown spots make for some nice areas to hit the ball.

daddy and his boys

we don't get many pictures of us with daddy since he is usually the one behind the camera. so recently we decided to take a picnic to the park and have mommy take some pictures of us. we had so much fun playing around with daddy, and mommy did a great job with the camera.

happy eight month birthday everett!

i turned eight months old today so mommy and daddy didn't expect the birthday sign to stay in one piece. i didn't disappoint.

everett's baptism

posted by mommy and daddy

gampa, grammie, and greats all came to denver to celebrate everett's baptism. gampa baptized owen, so there was no doubt that we wanted him to baptize everett as well. it was a quick weekend trip but packed full of fun times.

owen got to sleep on a blow up bed in the same room with gampa and grammie. what a treat for him (and some noisy sleep for them!). and we all enjoyed having good friends over on sunday for a celebration barbecue.

greats loved playing together with owen

owen decided that he wanted to sit in a chair like greats

gampa always has the magic touch

the great cloth diaper change...take three

posted by everett

mommy and her friend, jess, went to the diaper event for the third straight year! and again, the event broke a guinness record for the most cloth diapers changed at one time. mommy and owen went with jess and ryker in 2011 and 2012. in 2013, it was my turn along with jess' second son, brax.

sorry, no pics of the 2012 event.

just like mommy

posted by owen

sometimes i like doing things together. yesterday, i wanted to nurse, too, just like mommy. so i grabbed doggie lovie and we nursed together while we ate breakfast.

"all done with that side"

"mommy, drink some water, too"

this is sometimes what mommy helps me do while everett is napping - constructive and quiet (most of the time)! thanks to daniel tiger and o the owl for inspiration.

my visit to the dentist

posted by owen

on tuesday i had my third visit to the dentist. this time i actually let betsi do a full cleaning and everything! mommy and daddy had been helping me prepare in the last few months - flossing every few days, counting my teeth (so I'd get used to fingers in my mouth), and even using my very own electric toothbrush so i'd be used to the sound.

set and ready to go with my cool shades!

"counting" my teeth and removing a few "bugs"

polishing up my pearly whites

just like my electric toothbrush at home

giving a high-five for doing so good!

a baby has got to stay in shape and my preferred method is yoga. my signature pose is a sideway's position with an elevated arm and foot. it's my favorite pose and one i use often.
