Bonnett Christmas 2009

We kicked off Christmas early this year with

a weekend full of Grandpa and Grandma Bonnett,

Aunts, Uncles and cousins, cousins, cousins! It was

a very busy house this year with the addition of

Owen, Samuel and Beckett. Grandpa and Grandma

Bonnett now have 8 grandchildren. We had so much

fun with everyone!

Happy 30th Birthday, Jordan! (Dec 18th)

My parents came up last Saturday to celebrate

Jordan's birthday. We had fun hanging out the

house together, grilling steaks and eating Jordan's

favorite cake- Bavarian Torte (he said it tasted

just like his moms- total compliment!)

Learning how to fly the airplane

Dishes, Dishes, Dishes

My usual post in the kitchen is at the kitchen sink.

We've let Owen have the cabinet next to the sink

so he can stay busy. He's getting very good at

opening the cabinets, but the pull out drawer can

be dangerous!

Cold helmet!

Snuggle time!

After Owen's nighttime bottle he will

sit still and relax on me. I treasure this time because

he is such a mover!

Owen's first steps were officially on 12/5, but

we caught it on video today. Jordan saw him take

a step over 2 weeks ago, but he waited until

this week to really fine tune his skills!

11 months old (and one week)

I'm a little behind on the updates. We've had an

unhealthy week. Owen has had his last "month" birthday.

The next will start the year markers. I cannot believe

we are here. I tear up with happiness every time I think

about how much he has grown. Now it's time for me

to brag. Our little superstar just starting taking steps, he

waves hi and bye, plays "so big", says "mama, dada, hot,

and all done" (he means it too, starts spitting his food out),

he can climb the stairs, dance, and chase Gracie all over the house.

He loves to play with other kids, especially his cousins. Our

Bonnett family Christmas is going to be a blast! I was trying

to get a smiley shot of him, but he decided to make some other

silly faces. I thought I would share (please ignore the vaseline

under his nose)

Snow, snow and more snow

We got dumped on last night and today. I'm not

even sure how much we accumulated. Here are some

early morning pictures of our winter wonderland.

Watching Daddy shovel outside

The Flacks came for a visit on Saturday night. Owen

and Carter had a fun time playing with the car.

What a handsome guy!

Is it my turn yet?

Well, I finally got a new computer so I can

now do videos and hopefully other fun things

on here! Here was an experiment with video

that turned out to be a pretty cute video of Owen.

His new favorite word is "hot". We must say it

a lot because he's been saying it for a long time.

I thought "mama" was his first word, but I think

it might have been "hot". He's also onto "dada" now!

Happy Thanksgiving 2009

Owen's first Thanksgiving was a success! He had

a blast in Beaver Dam with Grandpa and Grandma,

Uncle Bob, Aunt Courtney, Hadley, Aidyn, Lennon,

and Beckett. We headed off to Omro to visit with

Great Grandpa and Grandma and the rest of the family.

It was so much fun to watch Owen interact with the

kids. He seems a little bored now that we are home

alone :)

Owen's first Thanksgiving Meal. He loved it all!

Owen, Jordan and Grandma

He thought the spindles on Great Grandma's chairs

were so much fun!
