Happy Heart Day

Owen's GA Julie {GA = Great Aunt} came to hang out with him this weekend! She was in Dallas for work and made the trip over to see us yesterday afternoon! O is still working on getting over being sick, so GA Julie saw a slightly different mood of Owen. But, he was still fun a lot of the time! On Friday, we hung out at the park, which entailed O's usual ritual. We went to feed the ducks, but O seems to know that we usually play first. So, he headed over to the playground....we followed. O got some playtime in, then we fed the ducks {there were 2 seagulls yesterday--we fed them, too}, then played some more!

This morning, we hung out in Owen's playroom -- soon to be Owen & {insert Baby Q2's name here}'s playroom ;-)

O and GA Julie after a game of "I see you through the slats in this chair"--one of O's faves...
Getting a tickle in. O's laughter is the sweetest sound on earth.

GA Julie and O setting the record for the longest time spent on the bouncing zebra! Owen actually got closer to a successful climb onto the zebra today--still needed a little boost on into the saddle--but, the closest he has come so far! He is getting so big!!!

Owen took a long nap this morning/afternoon {mama took a longer one--thank you, Daddy Q} and then we played some more... Owen and I went to the park, but our 70+ degree weather left, and we were too cold. So, we returned to "Owen's Playroom".

This photo is fuzzy, but too funny not to share! He loves this ball popper {it was a b-day give from Parker--thanks, Parker!}. But, he has so many toys that use balls that are the same size, that sometimes the wrong ones get into the popper. You would think it wouldn't matter, 'cause they are the same size...but, that would be wrong. The other balls must weigh a little more, because they won't make it to the top of the popper. Owen gets puzzled when this happens.

What the heck?

He turned the popper over while the air was still running and shot all of the balls across the room. This is Owen doing the ball retrieval ;-)

The "Busy Ball Popper" sure does hold up to its name! Owen is a busy, busy, guy when he is playing with this crazy toy.
