One Tired Baby

Almost every evening before Chris & I head to bed, we get Owen up and give him a bottle in the hopes that he will sleep the rest of the night. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Last night, when I got Owen up and put him on the changing table to change his diaper, he just curled right back up and continued to sleep....

Feeding the Piggy

Owen has had no problems so far adjusting to food. In fact, I think he would prefer food to his formula. I think it might be time to start sharing our food with him!

A New Letter

Owen has now added the "D" sounds to his babbling. Daa Da Daa Da.....

D and B - Just waiting for M...

Monkey See Monkey Do

Zach laid out the couch pillows on the floor and was bouncing around on them. Owen thought it looked really fun and began to mimic his brother. The two of them were having a great time and I grabbed the camera for a video. I actually got it recorded and when I went to watch it, I accidentally erased it! I was so bummed, I just hope we will have a similar opportunity again.

NPR: Coupons Making a Comeback

Found this over at Money Saving Mom

Yet - we have the counterfeiters to blame for some stores giving us grief for using coupons.....

Welcome Baby Teya

My cousin Tyler and his fiance Tracy welcomed Teya to the world today! Congratulations!

A Super 5 Jump

I am not exactly sure what a "Super 5" jump is - but according to Zach - here it is:

Happy 4th of July!

We went over to PaPa and Vicki's to BBQ. U. Bobby, A. Jenny, and U. Bobby's brother and wife were there too. We had yummy food and it was nice to see everyone!










Owen being cute in his diaper










This is Zach scared out of his mind at the fireworks. He just kept begging us to take him inside. If you look closely, you might be able to see his death grip on me. Owen was having a great time - the noise didn't bother him at all.

Attack of Another Rash

Yesterday, Zach woke up with a rash spreading lightly over his face. I called the doctor (He was in last week for a rash all over his torso) and they told me to give him Benedryl and as long as he wasn't any worse and it wasn't bothering him, that I wouldn't need to bring him in to see Dr. Buffa. I took him to work with me until lunchtime, then we went home for the day. He actually looked a little better in the afternoon, so we didn't go to the doctor.

THEN - This is what Zach looked like when he woke up this morning! (Of course, now the dr. is closed for the holiday). Chris was at work, so I woke up my sister (early on her 1st day off all summer) and had her look at it. I was so afraid we needed to take him to the hospital. She calmed me down and we decided to give him more benedryl. Ugh... enough with the rashes already!!
