Another Year Older and One Month Done

My first thought was to skip over this little life event, but I decided to show pictures instead.

Carrot cake cupcake from Rusty. The orange base was white chocolate.


Owen bought be a gift card to the spa. What a thoughtful child.


I really wanted a picture of Owen and I on my birthday, but trying to get an almost 8 month old to sit still is quite the task.


I was trying to get him to show off his top four teeth. I promise. No wrestling moves.


A few days later I went out with my Madison Mamas and my friend Melissa ordered this treat for me. Dessert fondue? Yes, please!


After my birthday festivities ended, Owen turned 8 months old. How does this keep happening? Here are a few pictures from our monthly photo shoot.

Excited Owen!


Serious Owen.


Photo shoot is over due to safety concerns. Owen is trying to roll off of the couch
.

At 8 months old, eating is his favorite activity. He loves his high chair and is getting pretty good at feeding himself.


After dinner, we usually strip him down for a few minutes before bath time. This is proving to be more difficult as he increases his mobility.


And with that I bid farewell to January 2012!

Shedd Aquarium

The weekend before my birthday we took a trip to Chicago to take Owen to the Shedd Aquarium. This idea was actually due to Terese's sister, Laura. There were 10 adults and 2 happy little boys. We missed Adam, since he was hard at work. To say Owen enjoyed the aquarium, would be an understatement. HE LOVED IT!

Checking out the fish!

A quick family photo. Most of the pictures from this day didn't turn out.

Checking out a stingray.

A nice father and son picture. I am not sure about Rusty's expression.

We had to cut the trip short due to Owen's desire to take a snooze every 2-3 hours. We will definitely be back!
