I CAN WALK!!!!

No kiddin'!

Yep! Just took my very first steps...watch me...

Walk this way,

Owen

Mother's Day Fun!

Yeah, that's right!

And, don't you forget it!

I know that I'm only now learning my letters and things....

but this bib seems to have a major grammatical error.

I mean, this would imply that I am just one lady's man, right?

Or, that there is a woman named, "Lady" and I'm her man.

I think it's supposed to say, "Ladies Man,"

because we all know that I am all things to all ladies.

That is, The Ladies Man.

Just wanted to show you how brilliant I am!

For Mother's Day, we went to GG and Pop's farm, what fun!

There are two NEW donkeys!

This one is "Surprise" because GG didn't know her mommy was pregnant.

This one is Daisy. Isn't she cute?

Mommy says that there is another word for "Donkey"

but she won't tell me what it is...

I think it has something to do with my Uncle Jason...

Anyway, I just love all the animals at the farm.

This is Rascal, Sydney and Surprise.

Mommy relaxed while Daddy and Uncle Jason took me all around in this Gator.

Daddy and I even have matching hats!

Uncle Jason took me for a ride....

While Daddy went fishing...

Lately, I've discovered pointing.

I think I learned it from my daddy.

Anyway, when Uncle Jason and I got back from my ride, a big surprise!

Look what daddy did! He caught a fish!

He says that he's gonna show me how to catch a fish.

I learn so many things from my daddy!

Anyway, Mother's Day was super fun!

That's my mommy, yessssireeee!

The best darn mommy there ever could be!

I will leave you with this funny video.

My first lemon!

If you're happy and you know it,

Owen

I'm a little conductor...

Hey Fans!

Yeah, I'm talkin' to YOU!

I'm a HUGE hit in my music class...

I don't mean to brag, but all the teachers comment on my musicianship. I'm soooo into music.

Mommy is having trouble uploading my "Little Conductor" Video.

Please check it out here....

youtube.com/owenflake and click on "Little Conductor"

(it's worth the short trip to the youtube link, I promise!)

I could literally do this all day...not kiddin'!

Everyone has fun in music class,

Owen

I'm crawling and pulling up!

Hey, everybody!

Sorry I haven't been around, I've been busy, busy!

Mimi is here! Yay!

Have you heard the news???

I can crawl, people!

Yes, it's me! All over the place...

All of those shiny things that I've been looking at from afar for months - I can touch them, and chew on them and pull on them...

Hey, man!

I can even pull up!

I'm on fire, here, people!

And it's the bomb diggity...check me out.

Ten little monkeys jumpin' on the bed,

Owen

Check out my Christmas Tree, y'all!

Jingle bells! Jingle bells! Here's my Christmas tree, y'all! Mommy and daddy name their Christmas tree every year. We named this Christmas tree, "Meadow." It's the only Christmas tree that counts because I'm here now!



Mommy and daddy had a big party with all of these little kids and babies and it was real fun!

Guess who else came???

You guessed it! My new bearded buddy, Santa Claus! Again, not really sure why everybody is afraid of this guy...
I got no bone to pick with this guy...I quite like him.

I like his get-up too...

You better watch out, you better not cry,

Owen

God loves me, Santa loves me and I love food...

Ho, ho, ho, everybody! I met Santa Claus! We're best buds, now. Not sure what the big deal was but there was a little girl who was afraid of this big guy until I talked her into sitting on his lap. Just look at me!

Mommy says that Santa is going to bring me presents at Christmas time. That's cool because I really like the shiny wrapping that goes around presents. So does Loopy.

Anyway, Mimi and Grampy came all the way from Detroit (wherever that is) to watch me be baptized.

Mommy and Daddy say that God loves me. If He gave me Mommy and Daddy well, then I guess I love him too! Auntie AD and Uncle Jason came to be my Godparents.

That's me! The star of the whole show!


Dr. Naegle, my new buddy, poured water over my head and then walked me all around the church wo I could meet everybody.
Everybody really loved me, I was a hit!
I didn't cry once! And when we got home, I opened all the presents from Auntie Lisa and my cousin Gage and Gram and Mimi and Grampy and well, everybody!

Presents, I'm finding our quite nice. I even have a new night light from Uncle Jason!

I was pretty sleepy after all my hard work.

Mimi and Grampy were here all week and what fun we had!

Here is Mimi showing me that guy in the mirror...I just love that guy...not sure why...

Hopefully, real soon Grampy and I will get some hair on our heads...maybe in time for Christmas! I swear, I just had some and I lost it. Where'd it go? Not sure, but Grampy didn't steal it, that's for sure!

Mimi and Grampy took me to the Aquarium (whatever that is). I loved it because really big fish live and swim all around there...

There was so much to look at, even up high!Here's me and mommy with the jellyfish...can you tell us from them???

We're the big ones, silly!

I had a great time at the Aquarium (big name for a house for fish).

Huge news!!!

I ate solid food this week! I'm a BIG fan!

Where did this stuff come from and why did I have to wait sooooo long???

I don't know, but I love it!

I like to hold the spoon and make a real mess, it's awesome.

I'll try to get some video footage of it up here in a day or two. It was a pretty sweet deal.

Look at me! I'm all growed up!

Daddy feeding me my very first real, growed up meal.

Mimi and Grampy brought me all kinds of Christmas presents...it was really fun to open them all up and play with all the paper and boxes and things. So far, I really love Christmas!

Mimi showing me how to do Christmas.

I especially like this little diddy. Not sure what it is, but it's noisy and rumbly and that's just my style....O Style!

Mommy got presents too...

So, that's what's cookin' with O Dawg this week, babies!

I'll be in touch real soon...

So, the itsy bitsy spider crawled up the spout again,

Owen

Black Friday? Don't Mind If I Do!

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

me and mommy are hard core, people!

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

Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird,

Owen

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,

Owen
