Four months old! First cold and first giggles

Owen turned 4 months old yesterday, and poor guy has his first cold.  We did some extra sleeping and cuddling this weekend to make up for it.  And despite his cold we've also gotten to hear his first real laughs this week, which just make our day.  We're hoping he feels better before our big trip--we fly on Thursday to Chicago (then to Cleveland and Jacksonville)!  Meanwhile Mama and Owen are trying to organize things at home before we leave, because upon our return we move into a new apartment, then Grandma and Grandpa Thomson come visit for Easter.  It's a busy but exciting month for us.  And who knows, maybe it will be spring time when we return??  We're getting tired of the cold... Here are some photos from the last few days.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted... we've been busy around here looking for a new apartment and having playdates with friends.  And, we're planning for our big trip to the US at the end of the month--we're very excited!  Here are some photos from the last couple of weeks.

Owen falls asleep playing with his pyramid.  It's adorable!

Poor guy spends a lot of time with his fist in his mouth, dealing with teething pain.

Trying out his new bed!

Exploring daddy's beard.

Gnawing on daddy's finger, it's the best teether!

Belly!

Who's that baby?

Don't go to work Dad, just let me nap right here...

3 months old!

Owen turned 3 months old this week!  And did away with his going-to-bed-nicely the way he had the first couple of nights in his new crib last week... he and mama have been sleeping together again for the time being.  We think he's growing, and also feeling teething pain as he is gnawing and slobbering on everything in sight.  Mom and Owen went to Baby Kino this week with Sandra, Olga and Anna and their babies--we saw 'Silver Linings', seemingly with an choir of cats in the background.  It was fun to see all those mamas and babies, all about Owen's age, filling up the theater and squawking the whole time.  It wasn't the most relaxing experience I've ever had... but I'll probably try it again.  Oh and the movie itself was great! 

Naked babyness is adorable

His back fat is just too much, I had to document it

Practicing walking with Daddy

This week we visited Sandra, who loves how cuddly Owen is

Best friend Juno, they loved laying next to eachother

She's caught up to him in size!

With the big snow last week, we all went out for a long snowshoe hike

Daddy had Owen in the Manduca carrier

I love my snowshoes!

And Owen loves chewing on his monkey.
