Big girl bumpo

Hanging out with daddy today was lots of fun for the kids. Harper relinquished her stand against the bottle and willing drank all her milk today. It was a great relief for all of us. And she got to try out a new view on the world from the bumpo.

Soaking it all in

Today is my last day home before I start back to work tomorrow. It has been so nice to spend almost 4 months with my little girl and her big brother. She is growing so fast. Already has a different personality than her brother, who by the way has been an amazing help. I am so lucky that Owen is so great with his sis. He loves taking care of her and tells me how happy he is to have her every day. I will miss having this little munchkin in my arms but now daddy will get to start his own routine with the kids on his days home. I have a feeling Harper just might be a daddy's girl already.

All dressed up for Sunday dinner

First day of preschool

Hair slicked back, cool kicks, new shirt, backpack on. What a big boy! The only clue that he is still my little monster is the backpack is stuffed with extra clothes and his nap time blankey.

He was so excited for school. He made friends with a little boy right away.
Boy: look at my jet.
Owen: I have a jet.
Boy: mine is a transformer.
Owen: I have a transformer. Hi, my name is Owen.

We always work on how to introduce yourself. I was so proud!

Rules of the gym

As Owen is about to go to gymnastics class I impart my best mom advice:
"Look at the teacher when she is talking and don't pick your nose."

Happy Baby

Super Bowl Sunday Run

40 yard dash to victory!
Dad had just a little further to go though.
