Two piece pj's

Aunt Michelle just gave Owen a bunch of clothes that her kids can't wear anymore. These pj's were in with those clothes and even though they are a Christmas theme I couldn't help, but put Owen in them. This was the first time he wore two piece pj's and he looked so cute.

Basket Fun

Owen really is getting into to more and more stuff. We have this basket that we keep diapers and wipes in downstairs so I don't have to constantly keep going upstairs to get them. Ever since Owen has been able to pull himself up he has been pulling this basket off the bench we sit it on. Just the other day he decided that it would be fun if he got inside it.

It's a boy!

Today I had my ultrasound and we found out we are having another baby boy. I was so sure we were having a girl, but Michael was so sure it was a boy. I guess he should be right every now and then. Jackson Daniel Martin should be joining us around June 9th and we can't wait to me him! Everything looked great during the ultrasound in fact Jack would hardly hold still he was just having so much fun in there. It definitely will be easier having another boy since we don't really need to buy much and I can't wait to dress Jack in some of Owen's clothes. It's going to be great having two boys!

Must see!

It's about a couple living in North Caroline and she is 24 weeks pregnant and has Cystic Fibrosis. She is currently in the ICU at Duke University and needs all the prayers she can get.

Shaking his head

Owen has been shaking his head back and forth now for about a week. The funniest time is when he's crawling around with something in his mouth and shaking his head just like a puppy would do. He's a riot!

Walking with assistance

A few days ago Michael helped Owen figure out how to walk with his walker. He had played with it a little before, but mostly the walker just drug him down with it since he wasn't getting the whole one foot in front of the other thing. This is the first time he actually got it. He loves it now and walks all over the place. The only thing is he hasn't figured out how to turn so he walks until he gets stuck and then starts to complain. I really want to take him to a basketball court or somewhere where he can just walk and walk and not have anything to run into, but with him having a cold right now we haven't wanted him to go outside.

Getting Messy

I never thought I would be one of those moms that hates it when my kid gets messy, but I do. I hate having to clean it up and change him...it just all around bothers me, but I know I have to get over it. So this morning I laid down the shower curtain liner on the floor so if Owen dropped anything it wouldn't stain the rug, I pushed up Owen's sleeves and I let him just go for it. He has been so picky lately and has just absolutely refused to eat. He only wants to take his bottle. If he doesn't start eating soon we are going to just take the bottle away and he'll eat eventually, but I'm trying to avoid it coming to that. So for breakfast I gave him scrambled eggs with cheese and some toast with marion berry jam on it. He loved the toast, but wouldn't touch the eggs. I also decided to see if he would feed himself so I got his Yo Baby yogurt and one of his dipper sticks so he could dip into the yogurt. He actually did really well and he enjoyed dipping. Hopefully he will stop being so pick and just start eating everything in sight.

Playing the Piano @ Ga Ga's

Owen loves going to my parents new house. First off it's huge and second it's something new. There are so many things to explore. At the same time he already knows where to go to have the most fun. The stairs and the piano. Owen loves to pound away at it (Something I never would have gotten away with!) He actually gets a little possessive of it when I try to play with him he starts hitting the keys I am as if to say, "Excuse me...this is MY piano!"

Soap Mohawk

I can't wait for Owen's hair to be thicker and not so fine. It's going to be so much fun trying out all sorts of spiky hairdos

That's our boy!

There are still times when it surprises me that Owen is really ours. I know that's hard to imagine...I mean he's been in our lives since June 2006 when we found out we were pregnant. It's just that we waited for so long to become parents it feels like someones going to pinch me and I'll wake up.

Close Up!

Here are some more recent pics of Owen sticking out his tongue. Sorry about the devil eye in the first picture. I tried to fix it with my picture program, but it just ending up making him look like he had a black eye.

Number 7

Owen's seventh tooth popped out last week. I was thinking he was going to have 6 teeth forever. It's another one of his bottom teeth which is good because he has 4 on top and only 2 on bottom. We have really been experimenting with food lately because he's just not happy with baby food anymore. He wants to chew and he wants to feed himself, but he's so darn picky. He doesn't like to pick up anything that slimy. Yesterday we did have a breakthrough though he actually picked up macaroni and cheese and ate it. He liked it too! This morning we made him scrambled eggs, but those weren't nearly as big a hit. He also got to have a chicken nugget last night and after some help he ate half of it. He's really is getting to be a bigger boy!
