Suckers

For Aiden's birthday this year my cousin Meghan got him a bag of 300 dum dums (one day she'll have kids and I'll remember this) so suckers are a treat around here. Gary thought he'd see how Owen liked one the other day. After quite a lot of drooling mom ruined the fun and pryed the sucker away.




Owen's hair is getting long and curly in the back but I just can't cut it yet. I know I'll look back at pictures one day and wish I did but I'm enjoying the mullet he's sporting right now.

Jumperoo

One of Owen's favorite things is his jumperoo. Days that he is at Grandma and Grandpa's he must go through withdrawals because when we get home in the evening the kid could jump for 30 minutes non stop. He even jumps when you hold him up to standing. Look what we caught him doing this morning.....jumping and sleeping at the same time.

Playtime

When I found out I was pregnant with Aiden, who was such a great baby, I would constantly get comments like "Oh just wait till the second one" or "Good luck, you won't get two good babies." There was a nurse at the pediatrician's office who shared a piece of advice with me about such comments and it was, that it is possible to have two good babies and those who say differently are just jealous. Well who would have known that baby number two would be so easy going. Owen is at such a great age right now. He LOVES to just sit and play. You can dump a pile of toys in front of him and he's good for almost an hour. My mother in law thought it was horrible the other day when I said I don't want him to crawl yet (he's getting so close, up on all fours and rocking away).
