Uncle Benner and the Hummer (updated)

Sorry it's been a while. It was a crazy week. To pick up where we left off...

Owen had a great photo shoot with Cassie. We can't wait to show off some of the pictures to you. Cassie's mom made us some monogramed burp cloths. One of them is camoflauge - awesome. And now everyone knows what his name is! You can see one in the picture below with Brent and Cassie. We had a great time with thos guys when they were here.

We had the one month doctor's appointment on Friday morning. Mr Owen decided he likes this eating stuff - he put on almost 2 pounds in 2 weeks. He's now up to 8 lbs, 14 oz. Same length. Tara's noticed he's hungry much more frequently the past few days, which means he's probably about to have a growing spurt.

While still a little guy, Owen is starting to progress in some things. He's doing good on holding up his head, and he does roll over if you put him on his belly. Tara has noticed that he occasionally makes obvious eye contact and sees him notice some things. It's not often, but it does happen.

Thursday night Uncle Benner (we decided that Uncle Ben is the old, black gentleman on the rice box, so we needed something else) and Katie came down from Minneapolis to meet Owen. Yes, they and all their friends are fine after the bridge collapse, but it's pretty weird for them. Lots of stories of people who usually go that way, but took a different route or worked late. But, I digress...

We had a great time with them. Turns out if you need your child to fill up a diaper, Ben is the guy to send them too. Owen filled his drawers every time Ben got him. While B&K were here we picked up the Hummer that Ben won in the Young Life golf tournament the last time he was in town. We have it for the weekend, so we've been going everywhere in the Hummer - and by everywhere I mean Simply Fondue, Joe T Garcia's, downtown F Worth. Lots of fun.

We've also made two trips to church. Last week was just a short trip to Sunday School and today was for the full service. We went to the late service, but at least we made it!

So, here's pictures from all the above items. I'm sure most folk will just go straight to the pics, but I had to tell the stories.

Dessert at Simply Fondue - snickers dipped in melted peanut butter and chocolate. Mmmmmm...

One of Owen's new skills - whistling.

Yes, Tara got to drive it - once - 2 miles to Casey and Holly's house.
