Weekend at Poppy's

Dillon got to spend a couple days at Grammy and Poppy's house, and had a blast. Poppy let him sit up on his workbench and play - he had a ball putting washers on a "fritter" (D's pronunciation of "screwdriver", don't ask me how), and playing with the measuring tapes!

Owen's First Tooth!!!

Owen's first tooth broke through today - and the second one is not far behind! They are the bottom center teeth. I guess that would explain the endless fussing and crankiness!!! I won't gross you all out with pictures, like I did with Dillon - it looks the same! My little baby is growing up!

Joe's Hair Cut

He finally did it! Joe's hair finally grew to 10 inches (the minimum requirement for Locks of Love), so went to the salon to give his donation for Locks of Love. Here he is before:
And here he is holding his donation - he was able to give 4 ponytails, each one about as much as typical girls donate - his hair was so thick!


Way to go, Joe - some little kid will be lucky to have your beautiful hair!

D and the Big Digger

A couple weekends ago, we went out to see Joe's brother at a job site, so Dillon could see the big digger in person, and even get to sit in it!
However, once he saw it working up close, he got scared and didn't want anything to do with it - it was too loud! (That's why the picture was taken outside of the machine!)

Owen didn't know any better, though, so we put him up inside it for a photo op-


Then he started getting scared:

Overall, I think Andy enjoyed the visit more than the boys - Dillon kept saying, "Dillon van, Dillon van!" meaning he wanted to go back to the van and get out of this situation!!!

Owen's 6-mo Dr. appt

I was hoping to reach the 20-lb mark, but he didn't quite make it. Today he weighed in at 19lbs, 13 oz (90%) and is 27" (90%) and his head is 17 in. (50%). I just think it's funny b/c Dillon weighed 19lbs, 2oz at 1 year!!! It won't be much longer before Owen is heavier - maybe by the time he's 1 year old...

This past week he started sitting up on his own, which keeps him happier longer than laying on his back does! Still no rolling over, though - oh well - all in good time. Here he is in front of a toy that he and Dillon both would stick their finger in the roller part and then cry when it makes a loud noise (this is before he did that, obviously!) Here is Dillon at the same age:
Dillon is doing great, too - learning more and more words every day and is starting to piece together sentences. It is so fun to watch him learn! He's a dickens, though, and he'll tell you so! "Dillon dickens - Dillon ornery!"
