Welcome to the World Kathryn Susan Janowiec!

Abby and Tony welcomed their BEAUTIFUL baby

girl to the world this morning. She weighed

7 lbs 13 oz and is 19 1/2 inches long. Everyone is

doing wonderful. I had to wait ALL day for Jordan

to come home so I could finally meet her (Owen has

a runny nose so we thought it best to keep him home).

I am so excited that my best friend is now a mommy.

Owen and Katy are going to have a blast together!

Getting my baby fix (I miss her already!)

Proud parents

Henry Villas Zoo

We headed to Madison this morning for a day

filled with fun with the Flack Family. We got to

meet the newest addition to the Flack Family -

Lucy Rae! She is so precious and tiny! I forget how

small they start out. Owen and Carter had fun running

around while the parents got to chat and play too!

I spent most of the afternoon baby snuggling!

Ready to start the day

Baby Lucy Snuggles

Owen wasn't so sure about mommy holding

someone else!

Time to be a baby polar bear

Watching Carter do it first

He just barely fit!

"Ace"

Owen loves his Gracie cat. She has started to

stick around more and to his enjoyment let him

play with her. He discovered one of her toys in

a drawer and to my surprise knew what to do with it!

If you listen closely you will here him say "Ace".

Our Little Cleaner

Aunt Courtney found a dust buster for

Owen and shipped right over for cleaning! He

was so excited when I opened the box and learned

how to turn it on and off immediately. Thanks

Aunt Courtney!

Cleaning at Poppa and Grandma's House

Lovin this warm weather!

Owen is going to have a blast this summer playing

outside. We have spent several hours outside this

week just walking around and saying "hi" to walkers

and cars. He loves to carry around his garden tools

and move the mulch around. We have had many

temper tantrums when we finally drag him inside for

bedtime. Definitely takes after Daddy!

Sweet shades!

Showing off his new tricks.

Whistle While You Work

Owen started to "whistle" yesterday. We have no

idea where he learned how to do it, but he knows

exactly what to do when we say "whistle". Here

is an attempt to catch it on video. Sorry for the

fast movements...he's all over the place!

14 Months Old

Wow has time flown since Owen's first birthday!

Here we are 2 months later and he's grown up so much.

He loves to eat, run around the house, play chase with

mommy and daddy, take every toy out of his bins, say

"hi" and flirt with strangers (been called a ham by perfect strangers),

vacuum and talk on his phone. His favorite words are still "hot" and "yes",

"mama", and "dada". His favorite sign is "more"and he uses it for "help"

and "more" or anything that will get him what he wants! He is really

starting to show his personality!

Cleaning the living room

A pre-bath ritual - climbing in the cabinets

His new smile face when we say "smile" or "cheese"

Playing Doctor

He might kill me for this later, but he discovered my

purse on a chair today and carried it around for 20 minutes!

Snow!

You would think that living in Wisconsin would

mean that Owen has been out in the snow several

times in the last 4 months, but had not ventured out

until last week. Between ear infections, colds, and sub

zero degree weather, it just never seemed right. I took

him out on my own last week when I shoveled and

he wanted so badly to get up and walk around himself.

He seemed to really enjoy it, but after a few minutes

he is ready to go in and get warm!

All bundled up!

Jordan took him for a ride on Tuesday with

our most recent snowfall of 12 inches!
