Easter Pictures!!

Hi everyone! I know Easter was a long time ago, but I wanted to share some pictures of my visit with my Babu and Bibi, and Aunt Debbie!

But first things first. Let's cut to the important stuff - I met a COW!!



I love him.

More about that later. Before my family came, I had to clean up.

I'm chewing on a toy because I'm still growing teeth. I don't have any yet. Mommy says they're all gonna show up at once.

Next, I kept a lookout for my Babu and Bibi. I like to stand up against the patio doors and bang on the glass like Dustin Hoffman.


Then Babu and Bibi came! Babu read me stories, and I showed him where to touch my feely-books.


Bibi and I played with toys. I'm trying to be as big as her by Christmas.


Babu helped me eat lunch. I LOVE TO EAT!


Then I would get dressed, and help do the dishes. Come here, sharp knives!


On Good Friday we went to church. My mom is so pretty!

On Saturday, we went to visit my dad's cousin Eric on the farm where he lives. Here we are getting ready to go:


My cousin Eric works at a place with people who have special needs. It was his birthday!!

I wrestled with my Aunt Debbie on Eric's bed. I won.




They grow all their own food at the farm, and as you may have guessed, this is where I met the cow. You can piece it together. I didn't let it get me down. I love the farm!


On Easter Sunday, the Rimbos were looking sharp!



After church, we went out to eat at Fogo De Chao, where they serve a lot of meat!


I still had fond memories of the cow, so I just ate my Babu's pectoral cross.


All my friends were at lunch, like my Godfather Graham! He has thumbs.


I had a great time at lunch, and then it was time to relax.

I love my family!

When Mommies Attack!

Watch out for mommies. They will try to eat your stomach. It seems like fun until you notice you're being filmed, so you crawl over to turn the camera off. This is how it is when you're Owen.

If you are not Owen, ignore the previous memo, and just enjoy this instructional video.

Baby on the Move, Part 2

Owen's been crawling for about a week or so. But he's a fast learner. I tried to film him in secret, but he is also a super-genius:

Mommy and Owen's Fun Weekend

    Daddy has been out of town since last Thursday. He's visiting my friend Natalie and Unkie Chad and Aunt Jenn in Florida. So Mommy and I have been having fun and staying busy on our own!

   During the weekdays, I've been staying at Auntie Rachel's house, since Daddy usually watches me while Mommy teaches. Grandma Carol and Grandpa Bill and Auntie Rachel have been giving  me lots of attention! I love staying with them.

   On Friday after Mommy and I went home, a big package arrived from Aunt Debbie- it was my first Christmas round two! I wore my "Baby's First Christmas" pajamas in honor of this special occasion. When Mommy and I opened the pacakages, there were some fun new

 toys and new clothes! Here I am enjoying both!

On Saturday, Mom and I kindof bummed around the house. Some people might say we were just chillin'.We went to Miss Haley's house in the evening, but I just went to bed. 

  

On Sunday, something was different than usual here in Minnesota. There was a bright ball in the sky- Mommy said it was the sun! I guess spring IS on its way! Usually, I dress like this to go outside:

But today, I needed to wear my shades! Mommy and I even got to go for a walk to the park!

This afternoon, we went to Costco with our friends Theresa, Josh, Gail, and Elijah. It was so much fun! The cart had two seats in the front, so Elijah and I got to ride together. Here we are discussing the difference between Huggies and Costco brand diapers.

 It has been a really fun weekend with Mommy and all of our friends, but I am so excited to see Daddy again! He told Mommy that he and Unkie Chad are going to a baseball game during spring training, since all the teams practice in Florida. 

Even though Mommy and I are still in Minnesota, we're cheering for the Tigers too!

On The Move

Owen is almost 8 months, and he's VERY close to crawling. He can get up on all fours and bounce back and forth, so all he needs is some motivation. And for some reason, the one thing he's more interested in than ANYTHING is this computer.

In this video, Owen starts to show off his clapping skills, but sees the computer and goes after it. And shuts the video off.

Internet Propaganda

Miss Haley put some pictures of me on the interweb machine without my permission! That's ok. I look pretty cute. There is also a picture of my dad making French Toast. You have to scroll down the page to get past pictures of a dog, and my friend Elijah, who is also cute. Their blog is right here.

Owen vs. Thing

Yesterday, Owen engaged in an epic battle against Thing, from the Addams Family.
