Owen visits Camp Soles for 6th grade camp

Tonight Mommy, Owen, Grammy and Pappy went up to Camp Soles for 6th grade camp. Unfortunately, we were only there for a couple hours because it was really cold. The kids at Baggaley love Owen so he was the hit of the show. He ate in the dining hall and then went outside to watch the relay races and the kickball game. We had to leave about 7 p.m. since it was getting close to bedtime for Owen. We left Daddy up there and we will see him when he comes home on Friday (he will probably be exhausted).

5 Months old

Where has the time gone! It is absolutely crazy that Owen is already 5 months old, it seems like yesterday that he was born. He is starting to do a lot of new things. He is now able to sit up on his own for quite a long time, he is rolling all around the room, he can play on his own, and he is very vocal--he wants to talk to everyone. I can't wait to spend the summer with him--only 20 more days til summer vacation! We are looking forward to getting him into a pool and seeing what he does.

Owen at his first crawfish boil

We went to Jimmy, Ang and Riley's house last Saturday for their crawfish boil. Jimmy ordered 34 lbs. of crawfish from Louisana and he cooked them all. It was fun, eventhough I (Julie) didn't eat them. I let Owen look at one close up and he really examined it. He is so attentive to what is around him and he examines everything.

Chuck E. Cheese Visit

Owen visited Chuck E. Cheese on Saturday for one of Mommy's students birthday. He was amazed by the "RAT". He looked at the mechanical one and watched its every move, it was funny. Then we danced with the "RAT" and the "RAT" held Owen and we took his picture. It was fun!

Video eating his first food

This is a video of Owen taking his first bites of food (rice cereal). It was fun to feed him and see how he reacted to the food in his mouth. His tounge was working the entire time and we would get an occasional squeal of excitement. This is our first attempt at adding video to the computer. I will see if I can do more video clips from the video camera instead of the digital camera.

Owen's First Foods

Owen has just begun to eat solid foods. We have fed him rice cereal, oatmeal and peas. He has loved each of them, eventhough we have not enjoyed the peas after the feeding!! He is doing really well and is sticking his tounge out like crazy when the spoon comes near his mouth. It is pretty funny!
