bath time

Another bath - less screaming this time!

chillin'

Owen, chillin' in his chair

After Owen's first real (not sponge) bath:

concerts on the square with baby!

Owen attended his first Concerts on the Square with the Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra last Wednesday. This is the thing to do on Wednesday nights in the summer in Madison. This week, we were invited to a rooftop reception with our friends which was great so we could duck into the air conditioning from time to time. Unfortunately, Owen's first concert was the WCO with an ABBA tribute band...I'm kind of glad he won't remember being exposed to an ABBA cover band as his inaugural live music experience!

first dinner out

Last night we had dinner at Olivia to celebrate our friends the Gardners daughter's baptism. Here's Owen hanging out at dinner with his buddy Ben.

Owen was a very good boy at dinner. He didn't make a peep! He sat in his car seat, but then it got very hot in the restaurant, so he fussed a little. I took him out of the seat and held him for the rest of dinner. It was a lot of fun to share a meal with Katie, Steve, and Hazel's families!

play mat discoveries

Owen was playing on his mat and spit up so I picked him up to clean up the spitup. When I finished, I looked over and he had grabbed the arm of the mat and was sucking the head of a nearby giraffe!

an owen moment

This video captures a very "Owen" moment - looking excitedly at black and white pictures, flailing his arms and legs, and of course, hiccuping.
