Right on track

Owen mastered another trick this week. This is his new mode of transportation around the house.

I've been singing him "Rolling, rolling, rolling, watch that baby rolling, OWEN" to the tune of Rawhide. It inspires him.

Hanging like a Rock Star

I said in an earlier post that Brendan got his new bed. This week his cool, new bedding came in. He's a Rock Star, I tell ya.

He had to hang out on it and read some books and try it out before bedtime. Him and Owen were chillin’ together.

Talking about life...

Mom, back of with the camera and let us be.


Seriously, go away.

I'm a big kid now

Did you know that Brendan got a big boy bed? Today marks one week of him sleeping in it. This is what he looked like after his first full night of sleeping in it.

Anything for a nap

Sometimes jumping and jumping wears out a wee little one. No need for a bed. He'll gladly nap right where he is. Yes, he still sleeps with his eyes open. Gross but cute.

Jump Jump

Owen loves his Jumperoo. He can jump. He can swing. He can even nap, though that's not the toys intent. After Owen's first time in it, Brendan said he wanted a turn. I told him he was to big for it. He has since found his own method of joining in on the fun.

What's better than Play Doh and colors?

Lucky Number Seven

Guess who is SEVEN months old already? Eating like a pig, growing like a weed (all 17 lbs of him), trying like heck to cut a tooth (we thought it was thru weeks ago), and learning all kinds of new tricks. I'll post some video of one of his new tricks later this week.

Happy Belated Valentines Day!

Sleeping Beauty

Someone told me recently that I seem to favor Owen when it comes to the blog because there are far more pictures of him than Brendan. After resisting the urge to punch them in the mouth, I explained it has nothing to do with favoring. Owen is immobile and at the mercy of the camera. Brendan sees the camera and either bolts or refuses to look at it. Julie can attest to this. This is about the only way you can get a picture of dear Brendan…

Little Flirt

Brendan was napping so we played with the camera. He was flirty mood. After we were done, I sent him out into the woods to cut some wood since he was dressed like a little lumberjack. Or not.

Wanna Be

Brendan always gets to rock out. Owen wanted to give it a try. Clearly, he's not sure how he feels about it.

I will prevail

Brendan insisted recently that he was not going to go to bed. He kind of won, I guess. He did not go to "BED". He fell asleep in the middle of the room. We'll call it a tie.



He told Jeremy recently the the Wicked Witch is flying over the Sahara. He has never seen Wizard of Oz so it's not hat witch. We're not sure what that means. He came running into the room this week covering his ears screaming "I'm afraid of volcanoes". Don't ask me where he comes up with this shit. I have no idea.
