Merry Christmas

It's been a while since I posted new pictures on here. So now it's time to get caught up.

Owen's new favorite buddy: "Georgie"
He smiles and gets really excited every time he sees his monkey friend.

Dressed Up

Here's a picture of our little man all ready for church. Too bad I couldn't get a picture without that hanger in his hand.

Two Teeth

Finally Owen is back to sleeping through the night...well at least he slept through the night the past two nights so I'm hoping it continues. I think it all had to do with his teeth coming in. He now has his two bottom teeth.

He is getting so big so fast! He crawls around the house really fast and he pulls himself up to the couch and balances while only holding on by one hand. He's starting to walk alongside the couch while holding onto it. Now he keeps trying to lift his leg up to climb onto the couch. Daddy thinks he'll be walking by Christmas.

Busted!!

Owen just recently began pulling himself up to a standing position but he hasn't stood up in his crib yet...until today. This is how we found Owen after he woke up from his nap. Needless to say we had to lower his crib down as low as it can go.

A couple more pictures of our little bumble bee. We went to Grandma and Grandpa Manthei's house so they could see Owen in his first Halloween costume. The weather was so nice so we took some pictures in their front yard. I thought Owen would be fussy in his costume but I think he really liked it.

Can you tell it's hunting season?? Check out Kevin's beard.

Hap-bee Halloween

We have a crawler!

About two weeks ago Owen's first tooth finally came through. He was having a hard time sleeping (which means mom and dad had a hard time sleeping).

The big news is that Owen started to crawl on Saturday. He's been getting on his hands and knees and rocking for a while now so we knew it was going to be soon. It will be interesting in the mornings now when we're getting ready for work. Thank goodness for exersausers!
