Call Guinness, man! I'm sleepin' thru the night! YeeeeeeeeeHaaaaaawwww!

Hey Man! It's me Owen... and my big feet!

Oh, don't think that I haven't noticed these monsters...

I can't stop lookin' at 'em! They go wherever I go...

...and I can make 'em move whenever I want to...I think they're pretty cool. My feet.


So, it's been a while...what have I been doing??? Well, Mimi was here for two weeks, we had so much fun playing all the time. She loves me so much!


I like playing with my mommy too...

I also hang out with my next door neighbor, Quinn, quite a bit.
He is a whole year older than me so he's showin' me the ropes on how
to be a good baby and all that.



My buddy Quinn and me.
He can walk (mommy says that's what my feet are for! Who knew????)
so he's very busy.




Quinn sitting still for once!

I've been thinking about starting a new band, just like my mommy.

What do you think of the name, "The Pulsing Fontenels?"
I love it!
Hit me back with your thoughts on that, k?



I'm getting really good at hitting these little bugs that crinkle and jingle and move about.


Here's me playing with my new toys and batting them around...
I'm pretty good at it, if I do say so myself!



I do want to send a shout out to my Mimi...

Mimi! I miss you already!
Remember our early morning smiles and late night diaper changes?

Nothing is the same without you!!!


I miss cooing at you, Mimi.


Because, as you know, I do more than just poo and coo.



I'm workin' on a new record, it's goes,


"These feet were made for walkin'
somethin' I never knew
one of these days these feet
are gonna walk all over...
moo moo goes the cow
baa baa goes the sheep,
Hopefully now, I'll let mommy sleep"







Whaddya think?




Hey, diddle, diddle,
Owen

My First Pool Party with Uncle Jason!

Hey homies! It's me, Owen...

You must miss me like crazy by now!!!

( I really do love my daddy)

This week was really fun! I went to the pool for the first time with my Uncle Jason. The water was sooo cold! Burrr...

(One day I will have guns like these...)

I really do love hanging out with my daddy.

As soon as he gets home he picks me up and talks and plays with me. He also helps mommy give me a bath every day. I'm so lucky that he's my daddy!

I like looking at my daddy, he's cool.


My buddy, Nicolas, gave me this monkey towel today. His mommy, Kelley, even put my name on it!

(I can't read, but my mommy told me it says, "Owen").

I was so comfy in it, I peed!



But it's all good, right? I'm still just a baby, man!

See? We're kinda best friends..

Who's Your Daddy?

Now I lay me down to sleep,

Owen

HypnoBirthing Baby Reunion Bash!

What up, party people!???

Today, I went to a HypnoBirthing Reunion lunch with my mommy and Mimi. It was so fun! I met four new friends...Here we are!

Lucy, Sam W., Sam G., Me and Ezra

Me and my Baby Posse

A special shout out to Sam G. for bringing the grub and

Here's me and my buddy Sam kickin' it HypnoBirthing style.

Whoohoooooo!That was fun!

Mimi's Back and I'm a Rock 'N Roll Legend, People!

Hey, you nutty buddies, you didn't forget about me, didya????

It's yo buddy, Owen! How's it goin'???

Mimi's back! How cool is that? Just look at me! I hold my head up like a pro!

No bobble head for me! No sireeee!


This is my buddy Quinn showing me some love...
check out my Cat in the Hat get-up.

Anyway, lots of stuff has been going on in the last week. I can't believe that I haven't been in touch! I'm a very busy baby...I bat at things that I notice and I have lots of tummy time when I play with my mommy all day (and Mimi too, this week!). I'm mostly trying to master smiling.

I even outgrew my diapers and a couple sleepers this week! Git it!

This is my mommy's music buddy, Miss Cat. She played the guitar for the band 13 Stories. My mommy sang the songs. Miss Cat is really smart!

Here she is teaching me all of the prepositions...

My mommy is a yogi and I am learning to be an expert stretch machine just like mommy.

My mommy also loves music.

She says I'm a "rock star" so she dresses me up like a rocker.

Rock on!

Free Bird!

Here's my nod to Gene Simmons...

Mommy says that he is from a place called Detroit and we're going there in a few weeks to meet my Grampy, Gram, my Aunt Lisa, Uncle Scott and all the rest of my family and cousins up there...Love you!

Detroit Rock City, baby,

Owen

6 Weeks Old Tomorrow and I'm Already 12 Pounds! Yay!

Hey! Did you get the news??? I'm huge! 12 Lbs. of baby, baby!

This is my mommy. She loves me so much!

We have had such a busy week! First, we went to my pediatrician and got a clean bill of health (whatever that means). This doctor said that I was, "so cute" and she looks at babies all day long, so, she knows her stuff!

I wasn't kidding about the smiling...slowly but surely, I got some smiles I'm cookin' up. Anyway, Dr. Hermann says that I need to do lots of tummy time and bicycle moves (which I got down pat!). Here's me doing my daily exercises....whew!

Tummy Time Baby

This week, The Pomeranz came over with their kid, Lily. She's my new buddy. She's a whole year older than me. She calls me, "baby." That's cool. This is me with Lily's mommy, Miss Veronica.

This is me having dinner with daddy. I like dining with daddy.

I hang with my next door neighbor and buddy, Quinn, a lot. My mommy tries to take pictures of him, but he's so busy...he's tough to catch on film!

On a side note...I think my feet look a lot like daddy's feet, don't you???

I just learned the song, "Take Me Out of the Bathtub, Take Me Out of the Suds..." to the tune of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game." Pretty sweet.

We like to mix things up around here...

Well, that's all I got today...

Go babies!

Red Rover, Red Rover,

Owen

I'm Houdini! I can bust out of a swaddle in no time!

Whasssssssgoin' on??? It's your buddy, Owen again!

Here's me and Loopy taking a nap. We're both experts at napping...in fact, I've only recently gotten the hang of it!

So, here's what's been happenin' at my house...

Wednesday, I went to lunch with my mommy and her friend, Jill. Mommy met Jill in a place called "grad school." I guess I don't need school to meet new friends because Jill brought her baby, and my new buddy, Robbie.
Here's me and Robbie kickin' it car seat style...

Yesterday was my Gram's (that's my GREAT Grandma, people!) 91st birthday!!! I haven't even been alive for 91 days yet, so that's CRAZY to me, y'all!
Here's a shout out to my Gram...

What up, Gram!?
My mommy sent her a book filled with pictures of me for her birthday and she loved it!



At my house, we like to lay around, take naps, play, eat...and that's about it!
Well, that's what I like to do anyway!
Here's how we roll at the Flake House...

10 little monkeys jumpin' on the bed!

Love,

Owen

Newsflash! I can take a bottle, no problem!

Yay! My daddy is back home! Whooohooooo!This is me shopping at Target...

My mommy put up all kinds of pictures of me!

She thinks I'm a star!

When I'm sleeping all snuggly wuggly, that's when my daddy cuts my nails. I wake up and they're perfectly manicured! He's sneaky like that...

I'm still getting the hang of bath time...I kinda like it these days...

Last night, I took my first bottle of breast milk with my daddy! It was so cool to eat with my dad! Up until now, I ate every meal with mommy. Mommy says that this was so she could do something called, "yoga." I don't know what that is, but I bet my mommy is good at it. She's so good at so many things...diaper changes, singing songs, acting silly, swaddling me...I think she's good at everything!

I'm really starting to get the hang of smiling...if you smile at me, you just don't know, I might smile back at you!

This is me in my "Decatur Baby" get-up. I hear that's where I live...

it must be a pretty cool place!

Ciao for now,

Owen

P.S. Hey Mimi, if you want to see a picture of me up close, just click on it, k?
