cutest baby in the WORLD!!

I know, I know....all parents say this. They have to. But seriously folks?! HE IS ADORABLE!! Just look at him, I mean SERIOUSLY! I know you want to interupt me and tell me all about your kids and how cute they are blah...blah..blah. But just stop, cause your wrong and you know it. :) I mean look at this round ball of cuteness! Don't you want to just eat him up? Just admit it...you'll feel alot better once you stop fooling yourself and admit that Owen is the cutest kids you have ever seen. :)

Just admit it. He's ADORABLE! Feel free to tell your kids that they are the cutest...but just know in your heart that Owen is the winner! :)

Gosh, this baby is CUTE!!

....and CHUNKY....
Owen currently weights TWENTY POUNDS!! What a big guy!! He is growing up so fast!! We can't beleive he is already 6 months!! WOW! That was FAST!! He is always making us smile and laugh. Every morning he squeels with excitement when we come in to get him out of his crib. What joy he is!!! When he is older he will probably be upset about this first picture, but who cares! That is a SERIOUSLY CUTE BOOTY!!! :)

just one year ago....

I have been thinking about how just one year ago we found out about our little miracle. It seems like so long ago now that I was so frustraed with not being able to have a baby, praying with tears in my eyes that the Lord would hear my cry and answer me. He answered my prayers last December in his perfect timing.

We are so thankful for Owen and all the smiles he brings into our lives. He is such a joy to have around, always smiling and talking (though I have no idea what he saying). I cannot wait to see what this next year will bring. I am excited to watch Owen grow and learn new things. Thank you to all of you that helped prayed Owen into the cute baby he is today and Praise the Lord for His little miracle he gave us last Christmas :)

FUN TIMES UP NORTH

Owen got to travel up North and meet a lot of his family along the way! We spent the night in Corcoran at his Great Grandma's house where he played hide and seek with his cousins for hours! He loved it! Then we stopped in Modesto to visit his Nana and more cousins, then our final destination of Sacramento! Owen had a party where he got to meet a lot of new friends and family! What a GREAT time!!

Smiles all around

Owen LOVES to smile! He often wakes up with a smile on his face! What a blessing to have such a happy baby! :)

...the drool on this one is GREAT!

Welcome Owen Baylis Strawn!

ALMOST THERE!

Only 2 weeks to go!! (maybe less...we are wanting less....) Here is an update to the belly series that I have been taking since I was 6 weeks pregnant. Although...I have apparently numbered them wrong. It should be from 7 - 38 weeks since the most recent picture I took today. I just don't feel like going in and redoing all the words right now :)

Hope you enjoy seeing the belly get bigger! I think it is fun!
