The weekend & a special 1/2 birthday.

Today is a SPECIAL day at the Robel household. Stephen isn't here to celebrate but we had a lot of fun anyways. Owen is 6 months old. So... we celebrated his very first half birthday! YAY! He is so wonderful & I couldn't have asked for a more wonderful little angel in my life. He is hilarious and makes me laugh constantly throughout my day. Some things that O is doing at 1/2 a year old...

• Sitting up all by myself. I even try to pull myself up and sit.

• I love my little jumper and can play in it for hours.

• I love watching kitties and playing with Grandma Anne's a lot. (I even pet them nicely)

• I can feed myself puffs and love to try whatever Mommy is eating at the time.

• I spit and rawrr at people, it's my favorite.

• I love to be naked and pee on stuff.

• I'm in size 9 clothes and growing like a weed.

• I am a smart cookie and use it to my advantage with my mom.

• I throw fake fits and fake cough when I'm upset.

The last 6 months has flown right by. He teaches me so much everyday and I can't wait to teach him and watch him grow into a beautiful little boy. I love you Owen Reese! (:

The weekend ended up being wonderful spending some quality time with Talia and little Jon. We got some much needed baby playtime and big girl Mommy time. Friday night we just talked and talked and talked until pretty late. She retreated upstairs and talked on the phone to her Hubby and I stayed downstairs cuddling with O & chatting with Stephen about my day and the changes that they were having at training. Saturday was super lazy. We helped the boys paint pumpkins. They had so much fun and were covered from head to toe. We put them in the bathtub together afterwards to try and clean them off. O had paint behind his ears, in his hair, in between his toes.... EVERYWHERE! But, it was nice to experience something like that with him.

This was before obviously... sorry got the pictures a little backwards.

Talia also got all of the army wives/girlfriends magnets to stick on our cars too. What a great idea! I couldn't get it to load... but it says, " Army brat on board. Safely waiting for my Daddy to come home." (:
(yes it is on my car!)


That night after the boys were in bed, we watched a movie & relaxed. No babies, no hubbies, just Mommy time! All in all a great way to build some morale and vent! Here are a couple of pictures of O from the weekend.

Now to get ready for Halloween! I can't wait to post pictures of O in his costume.
