One Messy Ice Cream Sandwich

Colin enjoys frozen treats a lot in this hot weather. Just yesterday we bought some ice cream sandwiches and he thoroughly enjoyed himself eating one of them. Unfortunately, he has not mastered the concept of eating without making a mess.

Rub A Dub Dub Two Boys in a Tub

Here are some shots of the boys taking a bath together. Owen insists on sitting up for his bath and has the best time splashing and watching Colin. Someday soon I'm sure he can join Colin in the big tub, for for now we'll keep him in his little tub just to be safe.

1-2-3 GO!

Owen is officially mobile! He started crawling on June 21st, to celebrate the first day of summer! He does more of an inchworm/army crawl combo right now, but he's picking up speed every day. He can go from crawling to sitting position and then back to crawling again. He also just today started pulling himself up. He's put his mind to being on the move now and he's really putting it all together! It's so fun to watch and we're so proud of him! He will officially be 8 months this weekend, my how time flies.

Sitting Pretty

Owen is officially sitting up on his own these days. He will occasionally lose focus and fall over, but he is very happy playing on the floor and oh so happy to be reaching for toys and doing some independent play. He is trying very hard to crawl and does this "inchworm" crawl right now. Given the chance, he will get where he wants to go! Someday soon we hope for the real crawl!

Sharing a Drink?

The boys have these cute little chairs that are just their size. We recently found that Owen enjoys sitting in them and being independent while we enjoy some time outside. Here you can see them sitting side-by-side and Owen trying to share a drink with his unsuspecting brother who never thought he could reach that far.

A Few Random Shots

Here are a few recent random shots of the boys doing their thing! You can see Owen's way of "reading" a book means tasting it!
