Here and there and EVERYWHERE!

As you can see by the date I posted my last blog, we have obviously been VERY busy! My dad and Becky came down to visit Owen earlier this month and we had a good visit. Owen really loves his Gabby :) I hosted a baby shower for my dear friend Lyndsey on April 12th. She is expecting a baby girl, Heagan, on May 21st and we showered her with gifts galore! That girl will never run out of clothes!!!! It was a great day and so good to see Lyndsey! We have been friends since high school and I cherish her friendship so much! We stayed at Nana and Papa's after the shower to squeeze in a quick visit.




The Grandparents and Great Grandparents (yes it took four of them) babysat Owen for us on Saturday night and we actually went OUT! We met Scott and Liz at the House of Blues in Dallas and went to my cousin's concert.My cousin is in an alternative band and we just love to go hear them play when we get a chance :) http://www.greenriverordinance.com/ - check them out, they're GREAT!!!


We had such a great time stepping out on the town ;)




Owen News: Owen is growing like a weed! He is now 10 months old and has changed so much in the last two months. He is crawling all over the place. (he's graduated from his "injured soldier" crawl to an actual crawl on all fours) It's so funny to see him crawl because he lifts up his hands real high as if he is prancing. Too cute! He is also pulling up on everything and starting to "cruise" a little. He will be walking in NO TIME! I can't believe it! He is sleeping a little better at night; he's only been waking up once at night for the last couple of days. We have also been teaching him baby sign language and he is really picking it up. His favorite sign? TOUCHDOWN! He also knows "more" and "daddy". ALSO, he has his two bottom teeth coming in. He is going to look so cute with teeth. Maybe now he'll grow some hair and loose his old man look ;) We just ordered him a pool for the summer and I can't wait for the weather to get a little warmer so we can swim :) Owen LOVES his baths so I can't wait to see what fun he will have in the pool!!!

Mimi is coming down today and we are headed to the Poppy Festival in the morning to see what crafts we can find :)
