Owen: A—A—Apple. A—A—Captain America!
Category Archives: Kids
A shot of pure excitement!
Owen has been earning Lego minifigs for pooping in the potty (instead of hiding and pooping) and tonight he actually got out of his bath to poop in the potty! This is him being excited right before he got his new Lego guy.
And here he is with the figures he earned today!
Bath Night
Bath #1
Bath #2
The next step is baths together…but not quite yet.
Katie’s Dinner Chat
She’s quite good at copying sounds…and being cute. 🙂
Definitely a growth spurt!
Katie has been eating A LOT lately, and tonight was no exception. She wasn’t as thrilled with her steamed potatoes and green beans as she was last night…but she ate an entire Stage 3 jar of zucchini and squash, a blueberry yogurt, a small handful of potato and beans, half a hot dog, a few spoonfuls of coconut rice, and some garlic bread.
Holy wah.
Katie’s first broken dish.
This is what happens when you leave a plate too close to Katie in her highchair. It was really loud but didn’t phase her at all.
Who, me?
P.S. Owen hasn’t broken a dish yet. /knock on wood
Katie Kid
Just a shot of Katie in a 9m outfit (a gift from a grandma) that she’ll only be wearing once… It hasn’t been warm enough up until now, and now it’s just about too small.
Iron Dog
I finally found it!
I have been looking on and off for YEARS to find the Christmas outfit (see here)…and I finally found it today at our new Once Upon A Child!
Getting the garden started!
An unexpected find… 😯
Sitting Pretty…Cute.
In the grass!
In the grass for the first time—and on the move!
And being closely monitored (chased!) by our friend’s daughter (and our regular babysitter)…
Clever boy!
I often ask Owen to go up to our bedroom/bathroom and bring down all the empty glasses. Usually he just brings down one or two so we were really surprised to see this. Clever boy!
I like this kid!
Katie ate ribeye, asparagus, and garlic bread for dinner. Whoa.
Of course, she doesn’t eat enough to fill up so she also ate some green beans, baby yogurt, and baby sweet potatoes…but still impressive in my book. 🙂
Like Humpty Dumpty
Owen was out playing on his little playset. And half attempting to sit on the side rail…making me a bit nervous.
Me: Owen, don’t sit up there.
Owen: Why not?
Me: Because you could fall off.
Owen: Like Humpty Dumpty?
Me: Laughing. Yes, like Humpty Dumpty.
Smiling Katie
New robot legs!
After playing Tumblin’ Monkeys this morning, Owen discovered new robot legs:
Mushroom Soup
Owen got out all his wooden food this morning and just made mushroom soup!
Katie vs the Stairs
So tonight I thought I’d let Katie go up the stairs and record her. I was SURE she’d fly right up them like Owen did when first given the chance. I mean, every time she even SEES a gate open, she’s off like a shot.
So, here’s what happened.
Okay, let’s try this again. Stairs take 2.
FAIL. Take 3.
LOL! You know if I turned my back on her during the day when the gate happened to be open, she’d be up them in a hot second.
Take 4. Seriously, this is your last shot girlfriend.
Oh for heavens sake. 🙂
Katie vs the Ottoman
She climbed up me to get onto the ottoman. And then takes a nosedive trying to get at my camera. But this video is proof that even though I’m trying to get the shot, I still have cat-like reflexes and I will put the phone down when necessary. 🙂
Hanging out on mama
I was Katie’s jungle gym tonight…but then she just laid on me and crashed—just long enough for me to snap two pics. 🙂
Wavy Tube Man Ice Cream
After driving by Wavy Tube Man (at the local ice cream place) many, many times, Owen finally got to stop and meet him. Of course, he’s loud…so this was as close as he got. 🙂
Then he had some ice cream.
And Katie loved Tom’s shake.
She LOVES ice cream! (And she ate rolls, green beans, tomatoes, hard boiled eggs, and roasted chicken for dinner so she deserves a little treat!)
And the poster I created on my phone just playing around:
Blue Baby Eyes
Fruit Salad
Owen made a fruit salad with his fruit and yogurt…and then of course wouldn’t eat it.
Three month haircut!
It only took three months for Owen’s hair to grow out from the buzz cut he had last. Three months! Egads.
Katie was just hanging out while we were waiting…
Tom got this during…
And I completely spaced on getting a post-haircut photo. 😐
Kid in a Box v3
I swear this kid is a cat—if there’s an empty box big enough, he’s in it!
Who walked through my clean floor?
Why Mr. Owen, of course. 🙂
Katie is 9 months old today!
She’s SUCH a good girl—I took three pictures and all of them were good! This is the first one I took (and the best of the best)! (And the outfit is from Grannie Lin!)
P.S. And a photo bomb by Charlie! Bonus points if you noticed it!
Frowny Faces
Just mugging for the camera…
