New Experiences

Owen has done and seen a lot of new stuff lately. Here is our account of a few things.


Owen witnessed a big thunderstorm! It was pouring outside, so Mommy held him and let him watch. He was quite excited by it and didn't get nearly as spooked by the thunder as I expected. (The photo on the right is a few years old but I was so excited to get lightning at sunset that I couldn't resist including it...)




He is also becoming a champion thumb sucker. We like this because it helps him fall asleep and calm down too. If he is bucktoothed in a few years then that's a price we are willing to pay for some calm now. Besides, if he looks like a goofball with crazy crooked teeth then maybe he could be a circus clown! That would make me so proud.


He has not forgotten how to be ridonkulously cute. Here are a couple of recent photos. Notice that in the one on the left his shirt says "property of Marisa and Sean". We were thinking of tattooing that on his arm somewhere with our phone number. Unfortunately, he is growing really fast so the phone number would probably get distorted pretty quick.




Tomato has continued to develop as a bloodthirsty tiger. Here are two photos taken just before a vicious attack on his Mommy's arm. She survived, luckily, with arm mostly intact, but I had to lure Owen away with a raw steak covered with peanut butter.



And when he does eat, he is a complete slob. Just look at this mess!


More soon -- I don't want to make these posts too too long.... Plus, my pizza is ready!
