Aquarium Adventure

This week we took a family day trip to the Inner Harbor and visited one of Daddy's favorite places- the aquarium. Owen was fascinated and loved getting up close to see all the fish, turtles and sharks.

O was especially fascinated by the dolphin show, and afterwards said his favorite part was when the "mommy in the blue shirt swim in the pool".. aka, when the trainer swam with the dolphins.

Grace was just happy for a chance to sleep.

What a fun day!

Gracie is 4 months!

At four months, Grace is becoming much more alert and active. She loves to grab everything within reach- and stick it in her mouth- and has discovered her toes. She loves her playtime!

Rockin' O

Owen loves to make music and lately he particularly enjoys setting up his band and rocking out to the Chipmunks or the Beatles. He carefully sets up his homemade 'drum set', his guitars and keyboard, and a front row seat- the bumbo- for his #1 fan.

"Gracie watch me," he says. And she does.

Rock on!

Rolling!

This weekend Grace rolled over!

With her scoots and rolls, our little girl is in a rush to get moving,

though with Big Brother setting up his band during her tummy time, can you blame her?!

Pop power!

Owen hasn't mastered the whole pedaling thing yet, but luckily Pop is there to give him and his tractor a boost. Well, more than a boost. They were flying back and forth across the backyard!

There were a couple near misses (and at least one hit) of trees, bushes and Uncle Mike, but both Pop and Owen had a blast!

Grace watched safely from the deck, enjoying some girl time with her aunts.

Wrapped around her fingers

One of Gracie's very favorite things is cuddling up with her dad. He apparently has the 'magic touch' to calm her down and she will contentedly sit with him for ages, just holding hands.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Happy Birthday Aunt Abbie!! We hope you have a wonderful day! xoxo
