Fall

Fall is officially here, although, I wasn't expecting it this soon! It seems like we only had about 2 weeks of summer this year, so hopefully the fall will be extra long to make up for it.

We took a few pictures of Natalie and Owen after getting back from Church. Poor Owen doesn't know how to take pictures yet. He is usually too busy checking out his surroundings to care about someone calling his name, hoping he will smile. Natalie tried her best to coach him though:



Owen is now 6 months old (hard to believe). He is sitting up, eating select baby foods, and the best part...LOVES his big sister. Natalie tries her best to make him laugh...always calls him "buddy"...and Owen just giggles. Natalie can get him to laugh the best, although now he is starting to get into her toys, and she doesn't like that too much. Owen is almost crawling. He can get into anything that we wants, but it is by rolling his way around. He is very curious, and when he wants to get something, he focuses, and gets it. Here is a picture we took of him today:



Natalie has started this "fake smiling" phase for taking pictures. She will yell "CHEEEEEEEEESE" and squint her eyes. It is getting tough to get a good picture with her because she only wants to "fake smile." Here is the best one that we got of both together:



I know it has been awhile since I have updated the blog...trust me, I have heard about it!! So, Natalie told me...



"Dad, you better update the blog tonight!!"

...actually she didn't say that, but I really like the picture. :)
