This past weekend, we met Grandma and Grandpa Bowers, Aunt Terra, Uncle Daniel, Cousin Rigo and Great Grandma Jeraldine in Ames, Iowa. We were supposed to go to Missouri last month but and it's such a long trip for Owen, that we decided not to go. Instead, we decided to meet the family 1/2 way. Thanks to G&G for the hotel rooms and clothes for Owen. He's stylin' now! We had such a good time with everyone. Owen wants the grandparents to move to the DesMoine/Ames area. It would be perfect if their farm was about 3 hours away. Owen and Rigo could ride ponies together all the time.
Rigo has gotten so big. He is just as cute and cuddly as ever. He has cutest little dimples when he smiles (although none of my pics show the dimples). He is one sweet kid. We are so happy that we got to spend time with him over the weekend.
On February 18th, we celebrated Owen's Great Grandma's birthday at Grandma Pat's house. Here is a shot of the family. Look who's the center of the photo! We had a nice time and look forward to the next get-together.
Other Owen Updates:
Owen has 4 teeth now...I'll try to catch a shot of them. It's pretty funny because he has the two bottom center teeth and then two on the top...not the center ones but the ones next to the center teeth. It looks like fangs but they aren't the eye teeth.
Kris took Owen and Tess to the Zoo today. Kris said that Owen LOVED the dolphin show....apparently he got pretty excited. We wish we could have seen him. She said he had a great day. This is such a switch from how our day started. First, I bumped his head on the door on the way out. Then, when I lifted his car seat (with him in it) to move him to Kris' car and I DROPPED him. Luckily, only the car seat hit the ground and not him. He wasn't hurt in either accident but did shed a couple tears from being scared. He's been getting scared of things lately...like when we changed his diaper in public restrooms on our trip this past weekend and someone flushed the toilet...scares him so much! Also, when I try to vacuum (I don't do that when he's around anymore).
Owen sitting up and crawling...in a post coming soon??!!?? we'll get there eventually.
I'll try to post sooner than I have been.
