Half b-day and Owen's first wedding

So this week one of my friends down here had a birthday party for our little ones. It was their half birthday! So she made half birthday cakes and we took lots of pictures! Here is the kids first picture- around 6 weeks.

Owen, Natalie and Bram
Now the babies at 6 months!

Owen just sat there, watched everyone and didn't smile or cry. He just took it all in!

Post class...

So last week was my last week of my 3 1/2 week class on tutoring kids with dyslexia. It was super intense but very interesting. My days consisted of getting up early, feeding Owen, eating breakfast and getting things ready for my day. Then I would pump before I go, come home at lunch, play with Owen for 5 minutes while my mom or dad made me lunch, then I would eat and pump. Whatever time was left I would play with Owen before heading back to class til 4. When I came home I would nurse, and study, somedays at the same time! I am so greatful my parents for staying with me so I could do the class and do it well. I am proud to announce that I was able to pump enough so that Owen didn't need formula. It took a lot of dedication and time, also some late nights that he slept through, I would get up and pump. But it felt like a big accomplishment so I am proud!

I didn't have much time to do much else but here are some pics from the last month. Owen learned to roll over the first time with my mom- which she LOVED! Now he is rolling all over the place, sometimes if I walk away I have no idea how he moved from where I put him! He is getting to be so much fun and easy to cart around.

Owen and my dad aka the Manny... they did this a lot! Owen was taking pictures on the laptop, I think he may take after his grandpa, he loves the computer!
This one is for Owen's godfather... enough said

Owen and his friend Colin (he is my friend from high school's son) They are around 6 weeks apart. And we didn't coordinate the outfits!


Auntie Carrie came down to watch Owen one morning I had class



He is starting to splash a lot during bathtime and loves his duckies

My favorite picture!

So happy with Auntie Noelle
Godfather Derrick brought Owen a shirt back from Chicago...
