MaryAnn's wedding weekend

Owen is having a great August. In the past few weeks he's tried some new foods and met some new people. His favorite food is still bananas but he doesn't seem to mind butternut squash or peas or even green beans. He's still on the fence about applesauce, so hopefully he will enjoy peaches, which will be tomorrow's new adventure.


Owen is super ticklish on almost every part of his body and loves it when Daddy comes home from work for daddy-play time. Owen is almost a pro when it comes to sitting up and I'm afraid, he is just weeks away from starting to crawl.

This past weekend we got to go up north for MaryAnn and Tim's wedding. It was a lovely affair. Owen had a great time.

Owen stayed busy with Daddy's tie while in the background Paisley and her Daddy Jim watch the ceremony.

Owen trying to rock on...but just can't do it.












Here are all the girls.










Daddy and Owen waking up with smiles...okay, forced smiles.









Owen and Kiwi....best attempts at being best friends






Here is Owen doing his new favorite thing, grabbing Kiwi's foot.











And here is Kiwi, trying to politely tell him to stop it with very convincing kisses.















Here Owen and Kiwi have come to some sort of agreement, but they still don't look contented.














So for something completely different, Owen rolls over and pushed himself under his crib.









Until next time....

yeah, yeah...

Okay, so I know that I make some lame excuse each time I post, apologizing for not posting sooner...but its the summer so deal with it;)

Here is the family update:

Owen is now 6 months old. He is loving eating rice cereal and has tried bananas, sweet potato and avocado and likes them in that order. Next up for him to try this week...oat cereal and unsweetened applesauce. His new favorite things are playing with his feet, especially sucking his toes - and we have tonnes of photos illustrating it; sticking his tongue in and out and "rasberry-ing"; and finally listening to his mommy sing while jumping about in his jolly jumper -thingy. His favorite songs are "itsy bitsy spider", "apples and bananas", and "Bingo".

Here is Daddy and Owen at the High Park Z00. I think Kiwi was more interested in the animals than Owen was.

Here is Owen and his current fave toy...a juicy foot.

Here is Owen savouring the taste of banana.

Savouring avocado? Not so much.

Hey....with that hat on you remind me of someone.

I will give 50 cents to however can guess what Owen was doing.
