Black Friday? Don't Mind If I Do!

Hey Buddies! I love me some Black Friday.... Check out my shopping skills...

Mommy is so happy that I love to shop! I actually squeal when I find a deal!

Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird,

Wouldn't You Like to be a Turkey Too?

Hey Turkeys! Gobble, Gobble!

It's me, Owen! Your very favorite turkey of all!

Today was Thanksgiving and we went to GiGi and Pop's for din-din.

Baby's 1st Thanksgiving, yeah buddy!

The whole fan-damily was there!



Mimi and Grampy too!





This was my favorite new buddy of all...Pop's granddaughter, Madison.

GiGi's doggy Crystal...why won't she let me pull her hair out???

Sure got a lot to be thankful for, huh???

Lately, I've been doing a lot of skydiving moves...I'm thinking about crawling...

I haven't even nailed sitting up yet, really, but I just want to get moving, ya know?

Yeah, me! Let's blow this pop stand, people!

You are

my Sunshine, My Only Sunshine,

Owen

Yo! I'm a Baby SuperModel!

It's me! Your bud-bud, Owen! How cute am I??? Mommy always says to me, "oh, Owen, I could just spread you on a cracker!"

Whatever that means...

This week, my new friend, Sommer from Fancy Pants Photos (http://www.fancypantsphotos.com/) came over for a playdate and set up all these bright lights and shiny things and took pictures of me and mommy and daddy.

See?



Me and mommy...

Here is me and my buddy, Loopy.



In other news...

My Uncle Jason is going to be my Godfather! Whoohoooooo!



Good times, people.

Good, good times.




Let's see, what else is going on...

Here are Daddy and I hard at work.


Oh, I know...
Last week was fun. Mommy and I took a road trip to Asheville to visit Auntie AD and I went on a swing for the first time, it made me a little dizzy, but I loved it.

I'm a natural.

Me and Auntie AD.




So, back to what an awesome model I am...

Here is Sommer and I busy getting all the shots just right...

I mean, could I BE any cuter???


Oh, I wanted to show you mommy's midwife. Her name is Kay and she helped me be born.

We had a rough time of it, but with Kay's help, we did it!

Now, where were we???

Oh, yes...my infamous photo shoot!

Look at me!

Well, Mimi and Grampy are coming tomorrow for Thanksgiving and Turkey.

I won't get any.

Jimmy Crack Corn and I Don't Care,

I Can Hang at The Farm!

Hey Donkeys!

Guess what I learned???

Hay is for Horses! That's what!

Last weekend Mommy, Daddy and I surprised GG

and visited her at her farm with Pop.

Me and my GG

There are all kinds of real farm animals just like my toys but they really neigh and heehaw and everything!



But, I was mostly interested in Rascal, Pop's newest mutt.

It was really fun!

Speaking of fun...I have the coolest toys!

Here's me with my vibrating teether...



And Auntie V brought over this jumpy thing...

I like to hang out in it while mommy is busy in the kitchen.

Lots of fun at the Flake house, I tell you!



Strummin' on the ole' Banjo,

Owen

Did I mention that I'm a gymnast too???

Hey!

You forgot to ask what mommy and daddy were for Halloween!

Mommy was "feeling blue" and daddy was Harry Potter.

Mommy and Daddy met on Halloween and daddy says that his Harry Potter is his favorite costume of all because he was wearing it when he met mommy.

(Gushy, I know...yuck!)

Anyway!

You wouldn't believe how strong I am...

mommy says that I could be a baby gymnast easy!

See me? I refuse to bend at the hip!

Why kill yourself when there is good ab work to be done???

I'm a regular Pilates master, people.

They do run, run, run, They do run, run,
Owen

So I Think I Can Dance!

Hey buddies! It's me Owen!

Betcha didn't know that I could dance!

Mommy doesn't have to go to work every single day...so, we hang out and play a lot. She doesn't let me watch the big light box in the family room...

but when I nap, she watches her "story".

Hey Mimi, name that tune!

You do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself around,

Owen

Halloween, viruses and mountains, oh my!

Hey, Homeslice!

I VANT TO SUCK YO BLOOD!

Hey, come back here! It's just me, 'yer buddy, Owen!

I'm just kiddin'! I don't even know what that means!

Good costume, I know! But it's just little O...so don't be scared.

You must miss me so much by now!

My mama's computer caught a virus and so did I! Mine is called "croup." It was a major drag. Those are the two big reasons why I haven't been in touch.

Also, mommy is so busy with me and the house,

she sometimes has to take care of us both at the same time!



So, so much has been happening!

First of all, I'm 16 pounds, people! Who knew??? I went to see Dr. Hermann again and she poked me again! Twice!

(I'm not so sure we can be friends anymore).

She says that I am 25 1/2 inches long. Yep! That's me!

Mommy and Daddy have taken me hiking two times. We climbed two whole mountains together and I can't even walk! First Stone Mountain (that's where my daddy is from....representin') and then Panola Mountain. What fun!

Me and Daddy killin' it on Panola Mountain.

Stone Mountain kids!

This weekend was Halloween. Have you heard of this???

Mommy dressed me up like a spider and walked me all around the neighborhood to show me off.

This is my Uncle Jason...he's Mr. T for Halloween...whoever that is!

I have big news! My Auntie AD, mommy's best friend...

She is going to be my Godmother.

I am going to be baptized the Sunday after Thanksgiving. Mommy says that she is going to buy me something fancy to wear for God. Funny, she doesn't mind that I wear pajamas to church on Sundays...or that I usually spit up too!

Whew! That was a lot of work!

I'll be back with pics and videos of me just being the awesome baby that I am...

So, don't worry!
I'll be in touch super soon...

Missed me, missed me, now you gotta kiss me,

Owen
