The Braatz Boys

So I finally took some pictures of my other boys!

Bailey competed in the State Wrestling tournament in Rochester and did really well. He pinned his first match, lost, then won by forefit but that was taken from him and he had to wrestled the kid and lost out. But we are very proud of him, he handled it very well! We continued the rest of the day/evening in a hotel with the other parents/kids, I think the kids had fun, but know that us adults had a blast! I did miss Owen though, it was our first full day/night without him, he was very excited to see us Sunday morning!

Owen has pretty much mastered sitting up on his own and is still lovin' the solids! The boys have been home all week with Rodney due to Randolph having spring break. On Tuesday Rodney took them bowling and they had a blast, it was Brady's first time bowling and Rodney said he did really well, glad they all got to spend some time together, while mom is at work slaving away! Today is their last day of spring break, so what better way to end it with a day of cleaning! LOL I left a list a mile long, it will be interesting to see what they accomplished when I get home.

My helper will be returning to work on the 6th, which is good, but for selfish reasons a bummer for me!

We have all been taking advantage of this warmer weather, Owen loves to go for walks with me, he usually ends up falling asleep!

Until next time...

LOL- Grandma Diane got Owen this shirt

Rodney took the boys bowling over spring break, note Brady's score!! Beginners luck!

So Happy!

6 Months old

I just can't believe Owen is growing so fast, it just breaks my heart!! Maybe because I know he is the last and that is hard for me to take in! Never thought I would hear myself say that!

Owen is still the most perfect baby and just such a joy to our lives, I am lovin' every second with him! He did finally master rolling over on February 14th, it is so funny to watch my little chubber roll over! He is working on sitting up and does pretty well for the most part. We have just begun trying solids. We started with the veggies, he seems to like the peas, green beans and sweet potatoes, not too fond of squash or applesauce, but we will try those 2 again! He loves Oatmeal and bannanas, we decided to cheat alittle bit, I know they say start with veggies first, but I knew he would love fruit, so I cheated and mixed alittle in with his oatmeal. I forgot how fun it is to try these new foods with him even the messy parts of it and Owen thinking he can feed himself! I am lovin' it all!

We had Owens 6 month check up this morning. He is at 20lbs even which they say is the 90th percent tile, and he is 27" long which is in the 75th. He had to get 2 shots, they were out of the HIB again so he will get that next time or when it comes in, and he also got his last dose of the rotovirus. Doctor said he is just perfect, like I didnt already know that!

Just me playing with the camera and Owen trying to sit up on his own








Trying peas for the first time! LOL

Owens new trick, he likes to stick his tongue out, espeically at his brothers!

Ok, I just realized I better start taking pictures of the other 2!!!!!!!
