Owen is getting BIG!!

Owen's First Haircut!

We took Owen to Grammy's work the other day to get his hair cut. He was a good boy! He sat in Daddy's lap and sat pretty still while Grammy was cutting his few long hairs. This was totally a trim, but a FIRST HAIRCUT!

Schmicksburg for the day

Last Saturday we took Owen to Schmicksburg for the day. It was fun! Owen got to see his first pumpkins and one even attacked him (actually he stood up and the stem hit him in the face, he had a little black eye). Eventhough the pumpkin attacked him we still got a cute picture before it happened.

Playing

Owen loves to play with his toys. His learning table is a favorite of his. He likes to stir the soup and dance as the music plays. He pushes the buttons like crazy and has a good time with it. I think that the rolling cylinder is fun for him too. He pushes it around the room like crazy and since it has clear ends he looks through it at the other side of it. It is funny because if we go on the other side and look through it he cracks up. His train table is definitely a favorite toy. He likes to destroy the towns that daddy built.

Helping Mommy and Daddy

Owen is so funny he is starting to get into everything. Last weekend he wanted to help us with the laundry. He was in the washer pulling the clothes out. While the dryer was running he sat in front of it and watched the clothes move. It was too funny! He is already learning to do his share of the work in the house :)

I am 10 months today!

Today Owen is 10 months old. He is really growing to be a big boy. He is crawling like crazy, walking 5-6 steps at a time, standing up on his own, throwing balls, eating all types of solid foods, trying cow's milk, babbling like crazy, waves bye-bye, recognizes people in the mirror--especially himself and playing like crazy. He has 5 teeth right now and the 2 fangs are trying to break through. It is so hard to believe that almost a year ago I was getting ready to give birth to him.

Sleepin at dinnertime

Daddy and Mommy were waiting for the day that Owen would fall asleep while eating his dinner. Well on September 5th, Owen did just that. Owen had beans, bread, pieces of rib and chicken for dinner and about half way through it we looked over and he was out. It was hysterical, he just started to drop his head. He slept in his chair for about 30 minutes, while he would wake up every little bit and begin to feed himself like nothing was wrong. It was too cute! We laugh because he works so hard to feed himself and he wears himself out.

Owen's at the Latrobe Football Game

GO LATROBE WILDCATS!!!!

We enjoy going to the home High School football games. On September 5th, we went to the Latrobe vs. Fox Chapel game. Owen loves to watch the people and everything going on around him. Owen played with Shay (in her cheerleading uniform)--he is already a little charmer. Latrobe did lose the game, but Owen had
lots of fun.

I have been bad--sorry for no posts

It has been almost a month since I have made a post. Things have been busy with the end of summer and the beginning of the school year. Well we have done so much since the last post on August 13th.

9 Months Old
First, on August 15th Owen turned 9 months old. He went to visit Dr. Lane and she said he is doing very well. He is 18.5 lbs. (25 percentile) and 28.5 inches long (50 percentile). She is happy to know that he has been eating table food since his about 7 months. He has 2 teeth already, and 2 more were coming in (they came in on August 26th). Dr. Lane also said that 2 more teeth are on their way, we see a lot of rubbing and runny noses right now, but no teeth yet. Owen is crawling like crazy, standing on his own and walking 1-2 steps at a time on his own. It is so hard to believe that he is doing all this already, it seems like yesterday he was a baby just laying around.

Westmoreland County Fair

On Auguat 20th, we took the baby to the Westmoreland County Fair. He was afraid of all the animals except the goats. He looked at the animals, but clung onto us in fear. It was a lot of fun!

Going back to work

On August 25th, Mommy and Daddy had to leave Owen and go back to work for the school year, so Owen went to Grammy and Pappy's house. He had a fun filled day full of lots of walks and playing like crazy.

Trying to help with the dishes

Owen has found that he can crawl on and around almost anything. He decided today that he wanted to help take the clean dishes out of the dishwasher. I missed the best picture of Owen, he was actually on the door of the dishwasher looking into the dishwasher (too bad the camera was in the car).

Owen loves to look out the front and back door

Owen loves to look out the screen doors. Most of the time he is tormenting the dog by pounding on the screen and squealing at him. It is so funny because he just wants the dog to react and when he does he is so excited. We also think it is so cute that he stares at the dog in hopes that he comes in the house soon.

Owen loves to eat

I think if Owen could eat everything in sight he would. We have not really found anything that Owen has not liked. He has tried Buffalo burgers and steak recently and he loves it. The doctor said that he should eat as long as he is hungry and that is so funny because I think he would eat forever. We love to eat dinner with him and see him shoving in the food. He is defintely going to grow up to be big and strong.

First High School Football Game

Mommy, Daddy, Grammy and Owen went to the Latrobe vs. Derry football game at Derry. Pappy was the referee so Owen got to see Pappy in action. Pappy held him but Owen was not too happy. Owen was wearing his Latrobe Wildcat gear. Owen lasted almost the entire game, but started to get a little tired about 3 minutes before the game was over. Latrobe won the game.

Our Little Wildcat

We got Owen a Wildcat outfit to wear to the football games. We took his picture with the soccer ball and put the ad for the Jr. High Girls soccer program.

Movin' and Groovin'

Owen is truly movin' and groovin'. He is going crazy. Dancing (bouncing up and down) when the music is playing.

I'm getting big!

Owen is getting BIG! He is growing out of all his toys and clothes. He has gotten quite a few BIG BOY toys recently thanks to some of Mommy's friends he is still to small for some of them but it was fun to put him on the quad and push him in the car. We also got him a Radio Flyer which he absolutely LOVES--he giggles and has a good time as we pull him through the yard in it. He is starting to walk and he has his push toy that helps him. Owen has his train table that he got from the Hoffman's, he likes to stand on his own and play with the trains on it. He is standing very well on his own playing at the table. On Tuesday, Daddy saw Owen walk across the living room with the push toy. It is hard to believe that just 9 months ago he was just laying in my arms and couldn't do much of anything.
