Christmas 2009

Christmas 2009 was absolutely wonderful. It is hard to believe it was Owen's 1st! The excitement in Quinn's eyes throughout the day was perfect. We all had a wonderful time with family!

excitement after finishing the Elmo puzzle

Owen turned 11 months last Monday and he began walking the next day. Each day he gets less and less wobbly, he is so proud of himself. Owen is now eating all table food, no baby food. He is becoming more and more vocal. Owen loves to clap while he walks, and he also waves bye-bye. Owen continues to love to be around his sister. We love him dearly, even when he wakes up for a 4am bottle!

Enjoy the video clip of Owen's first attempt at walking.

Making Cookies

Quinn, Ollie, Lauren and I made Christmas cookies together.

Quinn enjoyed frosting the cookies and putting sprinkles on them.

so proud!

Breakfast with Santa

We went to the Buffalo Zoo on the Sunday before Christmas to visit with Santa. Quinn was very excited, and willingly hopped onto Santa's lap, and began reading him her list. After breakfast, Quinn had fun doing some crafts, face painting, and then "leading" us around the zoo.
