Subtitled: I want that car.

Hold my hand!
Owen: Katie, hold my hand. Hold my hand! Katie! You can do it. Katie hold my hand!
Jenny outfit, part 3.
Well, just the jacket, really. 🙂 This is the next item from the Jenny’s-old-clothes-for-Katie drawer. She wasn’t being especially cooperative this morning so no super cute photo.
Then Owen chimed in and said “I want to sit with her!”
And hugging her. I think. Well, at least he’s loving on her even if it really isn’t a hug per se.
Katie is 7 months old!
We were out of town (for the first time ever on a birthday-month photo day!) so Papa had to take the picture! He had just about as much luck as I do—there were about 30 attempts! 🙂
And apparently Owen had a good time with Katie, too!
January photos are online!
Where Owen chose to sit and play Xbox.
My trio!
The cuddling kidlets.
I took a super cute video of Katie playing with Owen’s face and then accidentally deleted it. So this picture is a screenshot from the video.
December photos are online!
Project Santa Hat Photo
Project Santa Hat Photo went better than I anticipated (considering Owen HATES wearing hats unless it’s HIS idea)… These were the two keepers from the five-minute session.
Annual Christmas Photo
It’s not too bad for a 10-minute process!! Maggie is the only one not cooperating—well, that and the flash, since I had it set for three-pics-at-a-time and my battery was dying. But it’s still a pretty good pic!
And then when we were done, Owen wanted to take some pictures. So he took this one! (Basically he just pressed the button and the camera did the rest—but he was still proud!)
Big Brother/Little Sister
Now that Owen actually likes Katie, I bought some Big Brother/Little Sister shirts for them to wear in sibling photos (yes, I’m THAT mom)!
First, we just set Katie on Owen and lots of rolling around and laughing ensued.
I love his look—like he’s 16 and saying I’m too cool to be here doing this. Or maybe even Watch it, this is my little sister and I’ll hurt you if you mess with her.
Then some smiles!
And then each kid with their own B. 🙂
No bribery necessary!
November photos are online!
I’ve been a little off schedule due to sick kids and Tom’s new temporary work hours…

Thank you, Grauntie Marge!
And like brother…like sister. Owen was 3m3d and Katie was 4m5d.
He still likes her!
Same outfit, same age.
When I was cleaning out the garage last weekend, I pulled out some old outfits of Owen’s that I wanted Katie to wear so I could try and get “matching” pictures. I couldn’t remember the exact age to get them SUPER matching, so today seemed like a good day. And then I went back and found the picture of Owen that I remembered in the outfit (it was one of our favorites!) and imagine my surprise when I counted the days of both and Owen was 3 months 27 days old and Katie was 3 months 28 days old! I couldn’t have planned it much better if I had tried!
A little more worth it.
This makes getting up too early a little more worth it.

October photos are online!
The best part of my day so far…
He did this of his own free will!
A few Owen morning tidbits.
Me: Are you ready to get up?
Owen: We’re gonna take mama’s car and go and find daddy!
Owen: I need a snack.
Me: You just had a snack. Would you like breakfast?
Owen: No.
Me: Remember, we have bagels.
Owen: No, I don’t want food anymore.
Watching an episode of Little Einsteins about Saturn.
Owen: Look Katie, it’s beautiful!!
(That cuteness lasted all of 30 seconds because he wouldn’t stop wiggling and she fell over.)
Owen, his dolly, and Katie.
I was in the kitchen when Owen came in, grabbed my hand, and said “Mama! Mama! C’mere—I have a special for you!” And I saw this:
Moments later, he grabbed her bottle and his dolly’s bottle: “Mama! Look! Two milks!”
What a kid!
Bribery: it works!
Owen was playing a new video game that he constantly needed Tom’s help with. So, Tom told him if he would hold Katie, he would help with the game. I’ll take it. 🙂
Cute dress photo shoot
That tongue was always out—as you will see when you see all the pictures (below) from the photo shoot.
Oops! Someone rolled over! After I caught her and made sure she wasn’t going to fall off, I snapped a pic!
Someone had to get in on the action!
Some more…
September photos are online!
Lots of family photos!
Grannie Lin with the kids
Papa with the kids
I wanted to get all our blue eyes in a photo, but I settled for three of them. 🙂 I’m really happy we all have my dad’s eyes. ♥
Linda’s mom and dad, aunt and uncle, and a family friend all came over for dinner tonight. They all LOVED holding Katie and all threatened to steal her. 🙂
Happy Gramma Jean
They’re both looking!
It’s hard to get a picture of one kid with his eyes open and looking at me, let alone two. But I finally managed it!
Katie is 2 months old!
Unfortunately, I didn’t remember to take her monthly photos until in-between post-immunization tantrums…so I was lucky to get any decent shots at all. And after the luck I had with the “1 Month” sticker matching her onesie perfectly…this month was nearly impossible—I had to put a onesie on backwards (the front had writing that wouldn’t be covered by the sticker)! And as she was laying on one of Owen’s B’s, he was QUITE concerned at first…but I convinced him to share. 🙂
