Wow! I got seven teeth!

Hey buddies!

I think my first official word is, "Wow!"

I mean, don't get me wrong...I can copy you when you say, "Mama" or "Dada" but I really mean business when I say, "Wow!" I know just what it means...

Also, if mommy lays out my toys and asks me where monkey is, I can show her...or block, or book, or anything. I'm quite brilliant.

Mommy says that I've come to life like the "Velveteen Rabbit," whatever that means...

Anyway, yesterday was my Pappy's birthday and we celebrated with burgers and cake...well, I had banana and black eyed peas, I just haven't graduated to burgers and cake yet.

We gave Pappy this music card and since I love it soooo much,

Pappy let me keep it because he loves me soooo much! I'm a helluva dancer, doncha think???

I LOVE eating. It's my favorite thing to do, really.

I never miss one crumb!

Check me out!

Check out my chomps, man.

I got seven teeth already! My auntie AD says that I'll be ready for some Ruth's Chris pretty soon!

(whatever that means...)

It's been pretty sunny here in the ATL. I'm cool with shades...

For my first Easter we went to GG and Pop's farm, what fun!

GG got me a bunny...

...and Pop took me for a ride with Sydney and Rascal...

We look like a couple of super cool dudes, doncha think?

I love it when Daddy wears a hat!

Peek-a-boo!

Daddy isn't afraid of the animals at all!

This is Jake. He's a donkey. He says, "Hee-Haw!"

This is Dolly. She's a horse. She says, "Neigh!"

Who needs a "See 'N Say" when I got access to the real farm deal, people???

I'm so funny!

Sometimes, I'm really, really funny!

Mommy and me at Auntie AD's...

Did I mention that I'm VERY interested in walking???

I totally got it down when mommy holds me up, but I'm seriously considering taking off on my own...I'll letcha know how it goes...

Here's me lovin' my new shades....

Just makin' my appearance at the U Joint Oakhurst style, baby...

Yeah, I'll have the special...carrots and peas smothered in breastmilk, please....

Mommy and I are going to Michigan to see Mimi, Grampy, Uncle Scott, Aunt Lisa, Gram and all of my cousins this week! Mimi has been in the hospital because they can't get her heart to beat right. She had to have a pacemaker put in...

Not sure why they didn't ask me to help out! Mimi says that I melt her heart...surely, all that love would get it beatin' right again! So, we'll be there to love Mimi and make her better.

Sure will miss my Daddy!

Did I mention that I have mastered the sippy cup??? Bring it on!

Daddy took me to the Carlos Museum at Emory to see all of the mummies!

Mummies are dead guys from thousands of years ago...mommy thinks it's kinda gross, but daddy thinks it's the coolest thing...I think I'm with dad on this one.

Hats, horns, and mummies.

Remember my cat, Loopy? She had to go be with angels so mommy, daddy and I all went to bury her at the pet cemetery at GG and Pop's farm. She is with all the horses and doggies there...and there is one other cat, Callie, to keep her company, too.

Not sure why, but mommy and daddy say that Loopy can't be a mummy....too bad.

I sure will miss her!

So, come and hang with me soon! I'll keep ya posted on our Michigan trip but when I get back, it would be cool if you could read a book to me...my favorite is, "Who Ate All The Cookie Dough?"

All I gotta say is, "Wooooooooowwwwwwww!"

Good Night, Moon,

Owen

So, I'm Pretty Much A Rock Star

What's happenin', fans!

Check me out, I'm killin' it on the guitar lately...

Today we went to the Decatur Square to hunt for eggs...

there were so many kids there!

Daddy helped me pick up some goodies...

Mommy found some bunny ears for me...

It was a little warmer today, but nothing like summer...

Believe me, I remember it and I can't wait!

I'm over this scene, if you know what I mean...

If you're happy and you know it,

Owen

What's happenin', y'all????

Irish you would come over and play with me!

That's a St. Patty's Day joke, didja git it?

Me neither...

Check out my new chomp, chomps! I astound my doctor with my FIVE teeth!

Apples??? Bring 'em on!

Mommy and I started going to The Music Class this week

and I really "get" music, could be in my blood!

Mommy plays her guitar all the time because she needs lots of practice (come and check out her skills at 500 Songs for Kids this year at Smith's Olde Bar), but I don't need any practice at all.

I got this instrument licked!

It just comes so natural to me, you know it!

Lookin' more like Hendrix everyday, people!

Anyway, Mommy and Daddy took me to the Georgia Aquarium again! It's amazing!

I can't touch them, which is infuriating (big word, I know)! But there are fish everywhere!

Even up above our heads!

I just want to pet them...

Mommy and Daddy also took me to the High Museum...what fun!

Getting carried around is key, what a big place!

Just takin' in my first Monet...

All those big pictures and fake people standing weird positions made me sleepy!

That was for sure a fun trip! I'm the 2010 official backseat driver...

here's me, just livin' the title.

I just got a new toy chest! YEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS! Pretty cool, huh? Oh, and the no pants, one sock on, one sock off look I got goin' on..don't try to copy it, that's my exclusive, signature O'Dawg look.

Huge news! I guess we celebrate birthdays for dead people too (I wouldn't know, I haven't even had ONE yet!), because Dr. Seuss had a birthday and me and Mommy dressed up in our jammies and went to Uncle Jason's roommate's second grade classroom to read a book to all the kids.

Not me, silly! Mommy! I can't read yet! Gimmie a break, I'm still trying to master cruising!

Here's me and Miss Victoria.

Uncle Jason has jammies too, who knew???

Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!

As I'm sure you can imagine, I was a BIG hit!

Here's me in my new lion hat, you likey?

I got a snail hat too...when you're bald, you need a lotsa hats,

you know what I'm sayin'???

So, my friend Sommer from Fancy Pants Photos (www.fancypantsphotos.com) came over to take pictures of me...she is sooooo funny!

I was waking up from a nap when she got here and she said,

"wake-y, wake-y, eggs and bake-y"

I thought that was HILARIOUS!

Here's me pulling off the "baby golf pro, paperboy, preppy" look quite nicely, I think.

Damn! I'm cute!

I still can't get used to this weird green stuff all over the ground. Mommy says it's "God's Carpet" but mommy's carpet is much nicer and Loopy's not allowed to go on it!

I'll be walkin' in no time!

Here's me in my "L is for Lion" (did you KNOW that??) get-up....ROAR!!!!

So, that's what's shakin' over here...

Feel free to hit me up for some "Wheels on the Bus" anytime you're in my neighborhood.

The Wipers on the Bus go, swish, swish, swish,

Owen

Check out my HypnoBirthing Posse!

Hey Buddies!

Check out my buddies!

That's what friends are for,

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
