Big Eater

I took Owen to see his doctor on Friday because he was starting to have symptoms of either teething or food allergies. Since he just recently got over a cold and an ear infection I didn't think he was sick again but the doctor said he has a little cold. I feel bad that he's not feeling well but I'm glad to hear that it's not food allergies. He's been such a good eater. Here are some pictures of Owen eating sweet potatoes. He really likes them! He started out with a bib on but it ended up getting too messy and he likes to lift the bib up and rub it into his face. Since he was getting a bath after this feeding I decided just to take the bib off and let him get messy. He also really likes taking a bite and then putting his fingers in his mouth at the same time. What a little stinker!

Summerfest 2008

This weekend was the Coopersville Summerfest. Every year Kevin plays in the softball tournament on Friday and Saturday. We brought Owen into town on Saturday and walked around the festival. We ended up back at the ball field where we watched our friends play in the winning game. Owen slept through most of the game but woke up in time for me to snap a photo of him and his daddy.

Pool Time

We spent most of the day last Sunday outside since the weather was so nice. We went out and bought Owen a couple pools...a smaller one for this year and then a bigger one that we'll put up next year so we can enjoy it the whole summer. He loved it. We put him in his raft and he could touch the bottom with his feet and move himself around the pool.

He also loved it because he found himself a new teether!

Hair-do

Owen's hair is finally starting to grow. The hair on the top of his head is much longer than the sides so it's fun to style his hair into a mohawk. It's hard to see in the picture below but it's really cute!

Hess Lake

On July 13th we all hung out at a cottage that my parents stayed at for the week on Hess Lake. The weather was perfect and the water was warm. We enjoyed a nice boat ride and a great dinner!

Matt and Kevin spent most of their time fishing.

Family Reunion

We had a family reunion up north in the beginning of July. The theme for the reunion this year was the Olympics so we all had matching t-shirts. Owen even had his very own matching onesie.
