Park

We went to this park this afternoon to enjoy some of this beautiful weather. We had the place to ourselves so Jack could run wild.

Another Year, Another Foot Taller

Here is Jack last year and then this year at the orchard.

Apple Orchard

We went to the apple orchard today with Grandma and Grandpa. It was another beautiful day and Jack was thrilled to see animals, go on a hay ride, eat doughnuts, and eat apples.

A little too much excitement for Owen...he conked out again!

Fall Festival

Today we went to the Fall Festival at the farm center of one of the local Metroparks. We got to see animals and do lots of fun things. Here are some pictures!

Dancer!

Owen absolutely loves to dance (just like Jack!). Jack got this truck that plays music from Great Grandma for his Birthday and Owen is really enjoying it! He managed to get so excited he hits his head on the table twice but he doesn't seem to mind.

Nine Months!!!

Owen turned nine months yesterday so I took him in for his Well Baby check today. He weighs 22 pounds 2 ounces (76th percentile) and he is 29 1/4 inches long (82nd percentile). He is obviously a big boy and he is on track developmentally. He is healthy and happy which is what is important to us! He also got the pleasure of a flu shot, lucky baby! Here are a couple pictures of Owen after his bath!
