Tuesday,

I have found that it is hard to keep up with this blog but I will just do what I can. The past couple of weeks have been a bit trying. Jack didn't want to take a bottle but slowly is starting to. I am breast feeding but we do one bottle before bed just so that he will get used to it for when mommy is not available. Also the last two days Jack was not pooping. He was in so much pain. However, last night he started back on a normal poop schedule. He is having some relief.

Happy baby this morning. He is getting so alert.

He is holding his head up so well. Another alert picture.

Owen is getting four or so teeth at one time. He is happy but a bit clingy and fussy by the evenings. I don't blame him his mouth must be killing him. He is chewing on everything including himself. Over all he has been a champ about it. He is over his morning nap so no more morning relief for mommy but not to big of a deal.

He loves to look at books. Owen being a silly little boy making us laugh.

Friday,

Merry Christmas to all and we hope that you all have a wonderful new year. It has been a crazy end to 2011. We all survived and couldn't be happier to have our two little boys with us. Owen and Jack have been a wonderful blessing to our family. Here are some great pictures from this Christmas with all our families. I want to start with some great random pics of all of us.

Saturday,

Well, we had a doctors appointment yesterday and I am 2 cm dilated and 50% effaced. We had to do a stress test on Jack to make sure that all was going well because he isn't moving quite as much. During the stress test we found that I am having small contractions. We are still scheduled for induction on Friday but the doctor doesn't think that we will make it to Friday. However, who knows people can be 2 cm for weeks and weeks. At least we know that he will be here by the end of the week.

We have been having lots of Owen time this past week. His life is about to get turned upside down.

Here are some cute pics of Owen and daddy.



Took Owen for a play date with is little friend Ayden at the San Antonio Children's Museum.



Ayden and Owen riding in the car together. The more these two boys hang out the more they play together and they know who each other are.



Random pics of Owen Playing.

Owen making new friends at the Children's Museum and the Park. He loves being around other kids.



Owen loves to pull all the books off the shelf and then look through them. He will sit in his room for up to 30 minutes looking through books. He has also figured out how to get up on the sofa by himself.

We took Owen out trick or treating with his friend Bella. Our friends Chris and Crystal invited us to come out with them to take the kids out. They had a great time.

On Sunday we took Owen out to Sea World for Hallow Scream.
