Bowen wants to eat so we are introducing new foods. He's also starting to have a toofer pop through on the bottom so I gave him some frozen berries to chew on. He liked it but by the end he looked like he was turning into a berry.
Tate used to chew on this little bird on the exercaucer too!
Baby and daddy hanging out
Tate has reverted haha! He likes to do things Bowen does, including playing with Bowen's toys and even chewing on Bowen's teether haha
But then again, I think he just wants to imitate everyone! Trying to look like daddy! What a cutie!
And this is me as Super-Mom! I'm far from it but I feel like when I get things accomplished, you know, like folding all the laundry or doing dishes, it's a Super-Mom kinda moment! haha
Tate likes to play in the garage with daddy and his toys. We will have to do this a little more often now that it's starting to cool down a little.
more cuteness to follow...stay tuned...

Halloween 2011
This year was Bowen's first Halloween and Tate's 2nd Halloween! All in all, we had a great time and it went much better on the costume front this year with Tate- thank God! hahahah
Here was Bowen on Sunday after church. That night we went to the Halloween Fall Festival and Trunk-or-Treat at our church. The boys did great and had lots of fun. There were lots of fun games for Tate
like fishing
Bowen mainly hung out and looked like a stud
Tate LOVED the bouncy house!
Sweet baby dinosaur and Pa-Pa
Apparently Bam-Bam was chop-blocking everyone in the bouncy house hahah
A family shot with all of us dressed up--Trevor was pretty much dressed like he always does but he could pass as a cowboy.
Such a cute little outfit. This is one that Gigi and Papa got for Tate last year but he couldn't fit into it. It worked perfect for Bowen! He actually won the costume contest without even knowing it. They came and found us to give him his prize- a little toy truck.
Love that look!
Enjoying himself
and golfing
where he got a sucker!
There was even a Pebbles to match Bam-Bam. It was just a lucky coincidence.
Grammy and Poppie came by to say hello.
And so did Grandaddy!
This was on the actual day of Halloween. Bowen had just woke up and was rolling around grinning. What a sweet baby boy!
We went to pick up Tate and Mother's Day Out. What a handsome little boy! He was having such a great time.
We went out to the pumpkin patch at Sierra Vista to hang out. I love this picture of Bowen! Such a cutie!
Gigi and Baby Bo
and Grandaddy came by to see us too
Tate was having a great time running around being silly!
Happy Halloween from our family to yours!

Bowen is 5 months old!
Bowen is already 5 months old!
-When we went to the doctor for Tate's ear check up on Monday, 2 weeks before Bowen turned 5 months old, I weighed Bowen and he was 17.6 pounds! He's getting on up there. This is still a lot lighter than Tate but he's also a lot longer than Tate. -He's usually a very smiley baby! I love his cute chuckle and sweet grin!
-People are constantly saying that he's such a beautiful baby..and he is! I might be a little biased, but I think he's soooo beautiful!
-Not a good sleeper! We're working on it, but usually he wakes up 2-3 times a night and is just a very restless sleeper.
-He loves Kitty and watches her and just laughs and coos.
-He can almost sit up by himself.
-He can scooch a little bit. I think he'll be crawling early. It's weird to think that he'll be mobile soon. Exciting, just strange.
-He's still very snuggly. I love it but it does make getting things done around the house a little difficult. He's definitely a Mama's boy for now.
-He loves when Tate plays with him! I hope they're gonna be good buddies!
-He's got the most beautiful blue eyes and long eyelashes! He's got sweet little cheeks and I think his hair is gonna be a little darker than Tate's. He still has a big gap between his toes..so cute!
-He's starting to coo/talk more now.
-I think he's starting to teeth :-/ I hope it's not going to be painful or as hard for him as it was for Tate. He's been very drooly and wanting to bite my hands and his own-yet, he doesn't want teethers.
-We usually go for walks everyday.
-We just started solids last night. We are taking it slow and I plan to make all of his food. He liked sweet potatoes okay but it will just take time to adjust to texture in general. I'm not in a huge rush but I know he wants to eat so I'm giving it to him when he's ready for it.
What a blessing this sweet little boy is! I am so incredibly blessed! I can't believe how fast time goes by. I pray for my boys every night and I also pray to be a better mom- the best that they could have. I couldn't ask for more!
xoxo Bowen,
Mama
