Cruisin' Crawler

Owen is now 10 months old and is definitely getting into everything! He crawls very well (no more weird army crawl that looks like he's swimming) and he's quite fast.
His new favorite thing to do is crawl up the stairs.
Here's a video of it.

And here's another video to show what a fast crawler he is.




A couple weeks ago Owen had an ear infection...again. I was getting ready to take him to the doctor and Benson wanted to check Owen's temperature. I had recently checked Owen's temperature in his armpit (it was 101.2) so Benson wanted to do it that way too.

A cute video of the temperature taking.

I just recently started putting the boys together in the bath. They have so much fun together. They both did a good job covering their privates in this picture. Benson used a toy and Owen's tummy worked well. I didn't even have to tell them to do it...they're just so modest. ;)

P.S. A few people asked if Jeff had actually made the stocking he gave me for Christmas...yes he did. Jeff is quite the man...he can sew.

I'm behind...

I know, it's been awhile. Owen turned 9 months old way back on Dec. 18th. He was doing an army crawl at the time, which looked like he was trying to swim. Here's a cute video of it.

Owen is crawling at full speed now. I'll have to do a post on that next time.
Here are his measurements from his 9 month checkup:
Length: 29" (above 50%)
Weight: 21 lb 5 oz (above 50%)
Head Circ: 45.2 cm (almost 50%)

If any of you have been to my house, you've probably seen the baby cowboy room. When Benson was in there we had his name up on the wall and it was written with a rope. It's so cute. My sister Dana helped me with it. Well, I finally put up Owen's name, since it's his room now. It only took me 9 months to do it. It doesn't look as cute as Benson's because Dana didn't help me this time. The flower above his name is supposed to be a star, but it didn't turn out so great. I might fix it someday.

Here's another cute video of Benson and Owen. It shows some of the cute things Owen has been doing lately.

We had a wonderful Christmas. The boys love all their gifts.

Jeff made me this extremely huge stocking. It was my favorite gift. Homemade presents are the best.


Benson being cool at Grandma & Grandpa Gunther's house.
This is a video of Benson a few days before Christmas. I was trying to get him to tell me what Santa says. He's so funny.

We gave the boys haircuts a few days ago and we decided to go super short. Benson looks like he's going to an army bootcamp.

Benson loves to get in Owen's crib with him.
One last video. I think it's funny.
