Songs stop tears

Owen stops crying as soon as Adam starts singing. You can kinda see the tears still on his cheeks.

I will get you giraffe

I will get you, I will get you. Ahah, I got you giraffe.

The look of concentration on Owen's face is really saying that. He sits in this chair almost everyday (it is also his swing). But, for the first time he noticed the giraffe on his tray and decided to attack. Well it's not much of an assault considering he has not learned how to grab or pull. But, this is the first time he has really reached for something over and over. And the giraffe played back, bobbing it's head around and wiggling his rings. Owen gets so excited he starts kicking his feet and even pulls down the little zebra. Oh, we were so proud of our little man for reaching this milestone:)



(Yes, that is the shower in the background noise. I just finished cutting Adam's hair so we were all hanging out in the bathroom.)

Back to work

I survived my first day back to work. It was not weird being there but it was weird to not be with Owen. All of a sudden I have a lot of luggage to take to work. Big bag with purse, snacks and work stuff; bag for my pump and a homemade iced decaf latte as a treat for myself.



What a missed today: Owen chewing on and cuddling with his rattle from Iceland.



Grandpa and Adam took me out to dinner to celebrate my first day back. Owen was showing off his new outfit in the restaraunt. He was really well behaved staying mellow the whole time.

Last day of maternity leave

I am spending the whole day holding my baby Owen. I just watch him sleep and soak up all his love. It's my last day on maternity leave. Tomorrow he will be home with his dad and they will develop thier own daily schedule. Owen is so sweet in the mornings. He likes to talk and coo and squeal. I will miss that time of the day with him. Today we are just cuddling all day.

Cute sweatsuit

How cute is Owen in his one piece sweatsuit? Owen nodded off as soon as we were out the door. Jax helped pull the stroller along. He is so helpful.



They both needed some extra rest when we got home.

Sleeping like a baby

So it is Sunday, the football game is on and Owen and mommy are napping on the couch. Owen had a real hard time waking up. He kept crying out in a really sad whine with his bottom lip way out and then would doze off again when I cuddled him. But after our two hour nap we were refreshed.

Couch potatoes

Adam is giving Owen tips on zoning out in front of the tv. Owen missed his daddy while he was out getting us some venison.
