Not a fan of the snow

A few tears followed this picture because Owen lost his glove in the snow and froze his hand. Oops!

Much happier indoors!

Crawling in my winter coat is hard work

Testing the baby gate

Owen tested out the new baby gate, which held up nicely to his girth. We jacked his pants up because they were too long, so it wasn't purely for his future embarrassment.

The direct route is not always the best one

Photo op before Dad's Christmas party

Yummy Shoes!!

Owen loves to chew on shoes, so we decided to give him his own (clean) pair.

Trying to steal the camera from Mama

Learning to crawl is hard work

Owen was fatigued (or defeated) a few times during his pursuit of the CD player, but kept going until he got distracted by something better.

Having fun on the train

Rubbing Owen's bald head

Izzie thought Owen's tufts of hair were very soft.

Big Hugs from Izzie

We went and visited Misti, Dave and Izzie this past weekend in CA. Izzie really loved giving Owen big squeezes. He was a good sport and loved the attention.
