Lots of Stuff

Lots of things have happened since June. We had a fun 4th of July with my Grandma Ruth, one that we will always remember as it was the last time we saw her. RIP Grandma 7/23/11. We got to see all of our family which was nice. We moved from our apartment into our house. Wow I hate moving..lots of boxes still present and full. Owen turned 1!!! Had a nice birthday party for him at our new house. Owen got lots of great gifts and spent the day hanging out with all our family. This past weekend Owen and Chris and I went to get our family pictures done and Owen's pics to document him turning one. Here are a few pics from that session. And yesterday we took Owen to his first state fair..he had an okay time I don't think he was too interested.

Stacy Babyshower

Today one of my friends from highschool had her babyshower. She's having a girl, and naming her Alexis. Her daughter Layla is 5 and excited to be a big sister. Owen had fun watching the presents get opened and ripping down decorations. My little monster :)

Memorial Day

We had a work-cook out at the house. I painted and Chris cooled dinner on his new grill (bday and fathers day gift) . Chris' dad and family came over to eat and hang out. It was nice.

First Mini Vacation

Today we went to visit Chris' mom at her vacation spot on the St. Lawrence River, in Clayton, NY. Owen did fairly well with the long car ride. And he seemed to enjoy seeing the water.

Finally...

Well we finally closed on our first house!! We are officially homeowners in the Westmoreland school district. Oh and its only a little over a mile from my moms, under 5 min from chris's dad, and only 10-15 mins from chris's mom. Lucky parents! LOL. Now comes the painting etc....

Owen 9 month check up

Today was Owen's 9 month visit. He weighed in at 23 lbs 14 oz and 31 1/2 in tall. What a big boy! He did pretty good. He got his first PPD and allergies was all we did.

My first Mother's Day!

Today was my first mother's day!! Wow I can hardly believe how lucky I am to have a wonderful family. Chris and Owen each gave me beautiful cards and a gorgeous gold mother's necklace. I love them!

Brandon's prom

One of Chris's brother's Brandon had his senior prom, I went with him to take photos. Owen was crabby for most of the pics but overall was a good day.

Visit from Katie

My cousin from maryland who now lives in manhatten came up to visit my grandma. they then decided to come visit us. Owen loves meeting new people, he was good with Katie. We also learned to skype with my other cousin patricia in maryland.

daddy's bday

On chris's bday owen decided that he wanted to push his walker without being in the seat. What a big boy!

Real Easter

On actual Easter we had brunch with chris's mom and then went to chris's dad's in the afternoon. Owen had a cute easter outfit and had fun getting easter presents and easter baskets from the easter bunny. He got chuggington dvds, sippy cups, clothes, books, teetching biscits, and a bucket with numbers. It was also grandpa rick's 50th bday.

Easter

My family celebrated Easter the weekend before so my aunt and sister could come down. This is my dad's family. We had a good visit. Owen loves the attention. There are 4 generations: my grandma, dad, me, and Owen.

Sick

On Monday the 14th Owen was supposed to get his second round of the flu vaccine and his hep b shot. Well in the morning before his appointment he woke up burning hot so I gave him tylenol. At the doctors he had a 101 fever and his cough was horrible. We went to the hospital to get a chest xray which showed he had pneumonia. They gave Owen an antibiotic. NICE right well it gets even better. All week his fevers were 103, he was crying and clingy and got a rash so on Thursday the 17th I went back to the doctor bc he wasnt improving. They agreed he wasnt better and they tested him for the flu and rsv. Monday came and we went back for a check and the results had just come back. Owen was flu b positive. He was well enough to get his hep b shot. He also gave me the flu too. Love it when your kid gets sick :( Hes still got a cough too.

Mickey Ears

Chris's mom, Nana to Owen, went to Disney in florida and got Owen mickey ears. He actually keeps them on! His cousin's daughter also got a pair of minnie ears. They had fun sitting on GG's lap, which is chris's grandma. Skyler was born in Feb 2009.

Visit from Aunt Christine

My aunt from California came out to visit us it was great to introduce Owen and see her. My grandma came with her and it was good to see her too. She had surgery to remove a mole from her nose, hence the bruise. Owen was pretty good.

New Ability

Since Owen is starting to be mobile I bought an octagon gate so he can play safetly but now he has found out a new way to make me worry. He pulls up to standing and then only falls in order to get down.
