We (Sara & Owen) were blessed with the opportunity to visit California last week to celebrate my brother, Jeff, and Amanda's upcoming wedding in July. Owen decided that he really enjoyed flying (probably because we sat in the very back of the airplane near the gigantic humming engines). Owen did great on both flights, thanks to a lot of prayer! At the end of his first flight, the
flight crew invited us into the cockpit to commemorate the big day with a photo.
The week was filled with a couple of firsts...
It wasn't quite warm enough to play in the water, but it was fun to visit the ocean with Owen...there are so many places that I have been blessed to see and experience and I want him to enjoy and experience them as well. The wind was pretty chilly but the Baby Bjorn helped keep him warm at the beach.
Amanda's family lives on a lake and we had the opportunity to ride on thier boat to a restaurant on the lake for dinner. Owen enjoyed his first boat ride, he slept! As you can see, Owen has a little growing room in his life jacket (I thought he looked like he was wearing a koozie as an outfit).
I have quite the sweet tooth, and I think I got that from my dad...especially a sweet tooth for frozen yogurt. While in Hermosa Beach we found something that Califorians seem to have perfected...a self serve frozen yogurt bar! Notice my dad's face...totally intense as he is adding his mini chocolate chips to his yogurt. This photo captures my new life with Owen, he loves the Baby Bjorn and I am working on perfecting "multitasking" as I carry him and add my own toppings to my own yogurt.
Owen's uncle, Jeff, and future aunt, Amanda. We can't wait till July, we are so excited! We will hold off on any pressure for cousins in the near future...but with that said...can't wait for Owen to have cousins someday!
It was pretty cool in California, which I was so grateful for...I don't like to be warm and it meant that Owen was able to wear some of his outfits that are too warm for Texas right now. One my favorite outfits...this sweater is in honor of Owen's Ella dog. The sweater zips from the back so that you can put it on when your baby is asleep. I love that the hood has puppy ears and the tummy has a little red tongue. With Owen growing as fast as he is, I feel like he needs to be dressed "cute" everyday so that he can wear each outfit in his drawer-we are so thankful for his recent growth but want to savor the days when he fits in his 0-3 month clothes.
