Here is a picture of Owen, his cousins and their Great Grandma Jerry. She loves all her grandchildren so much and makes each one of us feel special. We all love her and are very proud to have her as the matriarch of our family! Not only was it Owen's first Christmas but it was also Rigo's first Christmas. Here is the cutest picture ever!
I can't even tell you how cute, sweet and cuddly this little guy is.....perfect! I could just hold and hug him all day long.
We did Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa Bowers a little different this year. We opened our gifts on Christmas Eve instead of Christmas morning like we always have...but it was really fun. Grandma Cindy had all these cute special things for the two boys. She's even mentioned that she wants to have Santa come in and bring toys to them in the future....when they are old enough. That should be fun!
Happy New Year! Well, it finally snowed in Minnesota on New Years Eve! So, we decided to take Owen out on his first snowy adventure. We walked down to Lake Calhoun. Along the way, we stopped and made snow angels and snow chairs. It was fun. We're going to start looking for an infant sled! It would be so much fun.
Here is a photo of Owen in his custom-made snow chair......
...and another one of him in snow angel action (kind of).
Wondering what's on underneath his cute LL Bean snowsuit?
Yep, he has on his long handles!
He was extra toasty warm...so, Grandmas... you don't need to worry!
Here's a photo of him with his new John Deere tractor that he got from Grandpa Western. He now has a tractor, cowboy boots, spurs, Wrangler jeans and a cowboy hat (and John Deere farm cap)...thanks to Grandpa Western! Now all he needs is a pony from Grandma Cindy ;) Speaking of ponies.....if you haven't already watched Owen's Christmas and New Year's jig, just click on the link under the Link section above right that is titled "Owen sends you Seasons Greetings....Watch Now".
Probably our biggest news is that Owen started eating rice cereal on New Years Eve! We have a video of it..it's pretty funny. At first, he got an alarmed look on his face. Then, the next bite...he was trying to figure it out....but a couple more bites and he was opening his mouth before the spoon even left the bowl. He loves it! We have a feeling he's going to be a good eater.
Owen wants to give a shout out to Grandpa Bowers!! Happy Happy Birthday to you, Grandpa!!
He also wants to wish everyone a very Happy and Healthy 2007!!
