Anything you can wear I can wear better

A lot of the clothes that Owen is wearing Brendan started wearing when he was about a month old. I thought I'd share a few. Brendan is on the left, Owen on the right.

What I'm thankful for...

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!

What's so funny?

This is a video of Owen laughing in the tub the other night.

Four months

Holy cow!! Where has the time gone? Just in time for Thanksgiving, Mr. Owen Lee is turning four months old weighing in about the same size as our Thanksgiving turkey----12 lbs and some odd change. He goes next week for his 4 mo check up so we will have more details on that later. Many of the outfits he's wearing the last couple days are clothes Brendan wore when he was a month old. I'll have to post pictures of those later.

In the meantime, as you saw in an earlier post he has some excellent head control. He is a smiley little bugger. He's a good sleeper at night, usually only waking once for a brief snack. He's a cat napper during the day because he doesn't want to miss a beat.

On Halloween I had given him a bath and when I was lotioning under his chins, he giggled. Since then he giggles when you hit any of his ticklish spots. Last night, for the first time ever, he laughed for no apparent reason. Likely something Brendan was doing but it was a real, belly laugh. It was hilariously funny. He's hitting all his milestones right on target and we're loving every minute of him. He just keeps proving to be a little miracle.

Leave me alone, I can do it

Clearly, Owen can hold his head high when he wants.

We are family

On Halloween the kids got to play for awhile. A good time was had by all.

Then just some good old fashioned play time.

Naptime with my brother

Since we were hanging at Gramma's on Halloween, we tried to take a nap. It was only half successful.

Someone call DHS

We got home last week and Brendan headed to the backyard to play while I took in Owen. I got Owen out of his seat and situated and went out to find Brendan. Five minutes unsupervised. Five minutes.

Squeaky clean

More Halloween fun

Brendan helped clean the pumpkins. He put his hands inside and said "disgusting". He would only use the spoon from then on
.

Have you heard the one about the Monkey and the Banana?

Saturday we bundled up and headed out into the cold for trick or treating. Well, we bundled up and headed to the mall. Close enough. Brendan was a monkey. Owen was a banana. They were the hit of the mall. They probably would've won the costume contest had we been allowed to stay for it. Brendan melted down and it was time to go.

I wasn't able to get a picture of them together. Typical. Owen's was hard to get a good picture of too. Oh well, you get the gist.
