Warm Front!

Apart from the treacherous winds, Northwest Arkansas had beautiful weather in the 50's all weekend! This being said, John and I were just itching to get out of the house and be outside. We were able to take Owen to the Promenade (our outdoor shopping mall) on Saturday and the best part about it was listening to John apologize to everyone for his poor stroller pushing skills! Since we were determined to enjoy the weather before it gets cold again, we decided to take a hike on Sunday...that's right, not just a stroll around the neighborhood or park...oh no, not my husband, we had to HIKE. So being the great wife that I am, I strapped Owen into my fancy baby wrap and off we went for TWO MILES! I had to include a picture as documentation of my wonderful efforts :)
Owen had another milestone this weekend. His umbilical cord fell off on Saturday night which finally allowed us to give him his first "real" bath. He survived the bath with no tears...hopefully that is how all bath times will go from now on! I also added a couple other pictures of Owen this weekend...we can't help but laugh at his mad face!

Eyes wide open!

Owen has finally started to stay awake during the day with his eyes open...can you tell that we get excited over the little things? :)

Seems like forever ago....

Owen has only been here two weeks and yet it feels like we have always had him! It is hard to believe that only two weeks ago my belly looked like this and ALL 8 lb 12 oz of him was curled up inside me! I never shared these photos with you so I figured now was as good of a time as ever....enjoy!

Merry Christmas!

Thanks to our wonderfully talented friends, Kate and Dave Burris, we have a beautiful Christmas card/birth announcement to share with all of you! Hope you all have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS and keep checking back for more picture updates (Kate took some really great ones and I can't wait to share them with you!)
