Recap, part 2

Here's Owen at nearly 4 months.

Here we are getting and decorating our Christmas tree.

It was fun to see the difference between the boys in how they enjoyed Christmas. Calen is, of course, big enough to really understand and enjoy everything. Owen was content to sit back and be distracted by all the lights, noise, and presents. He did get down to business though, when it was his turn to unwrap!

Owen received the following present from my parents for Christmas, and, while he's always had an interest in it, recently he's started enjoying it a lot more. Listen close at the 28 second mark - it sounds like he says, "I found one!"

An Owen Moment

Owen just had a sweet, "melt-your-heart" moment. Calen was getting ready for bed so he scampered over and gave me a hug. Next thing I know Owen is crawling over, climbs up me to a stand, leans his head against me, and gives me a hug. 


So sweet!

I guess I'm a little behind on pictures..

I just looked through my previous posts and realized I haven't posted any pictures of Owen past three months. 


And his 1st birthday is in about 3 weeks.


Oops.


Here's a recap.


In early August I took the boys to the local fair. Calen had not ridden on carnival rides before and had a blast.

Here's a random shot of Calen from around that time. Notice the state of the front yard.

Calen celebrated his 3rd birthday in July. Yes, I said July.

Mark has put a ton of time and sweat into our yard. These pictures are from Labor Day weekend 2011. He was putting the finishing touches on the terraced retaining walls, and his dad was moving dirt to fill in the extra yard we gained due to the walls.

Here is Owen at 3 months, filling out a little more.

My Mom came down in September to watch the boys for a couple weeks. Here she is with Calen at the duck pond feeding the birds. Calen wasn't too fond of the birds crowding him so he opted to stay in the trunk. :)

Both these pictures are from mid-October, with Owen nearly 4 months old. The second is one of my favorites of the two boys together.
