BFFs
One of my best friends, Ruth, had a little boy, Luke, in March. Our boys are only 6 months apart! By default they are best buddies :) Owen is pretty entranced with Luke. Can't wait til they can run around and play with each other!

Swimming
I took Owen swimming for the first time a few weeks ago. He loved it! It was a bit chilly for him tho. We have been swimming several times since, and each time he seems to like it more and more. He likes to spash up a storm and isn't afraid at all. A natural water baby, which surprises me because Ryan and I aren't big swimmers. I barely know how to swim; trust me, it isn't pretty to watch me try.

Update
Whoops. Have I really not posted an update since Easter?
My Mother's Day was wonderful. Ryan had pictures taken of him and Owen in a photo booth :) So stinkin' cute! He gave them to me in a sweet card. He also let me buy a dress. Mother's Day morning we went to church, then to celebrate JoAnn and Tara with the Jones family. And score, the Jones' gave me a giftcard to Charlotte Russe (my favorite place to shop EVER!) and Dad gave me a gift card to Toni & Guy (thinking about going blonde for the summer....)
(side note: I LOVE my boys!)
I have these picture hanging in the mirror where I do my makeup so I can look at them all the time :)
Our 3 year annniversary was a few days later, on the 13th. We had caregroup that night, so we planned to celebrate that weekend. Dad watched Owen while Ryan and I went out for the evening. We had fun sharing memories and enjoying each other. 3 years and still going strong Babe!!
In Owen news, he just turned 8 months. Man, 7-8 months has held some major milestones! He broke his first bottom tooth, and the one next to it is on its way. I now understand the term "teething." Yikes. He went from sleeping through the night to being up 3, 4, or 5 times a night for about two weeks now. Oh well, he's cute :) He is full-on crawling and pulling himself up on everything. He's such a big boy now!! He also waves bye-bye, shakes his head (doesn't necessarily mean "no", just a playful thing), sticks out his tongue, says "ma ma ma" and "da da da" and is learning to give kisses.
Here's a video of his special talents; bouncing, shaking his head and waving "bye bye"

May has been a great month for us, with lots of things to celebrate. Mother's Day, our anniversary, Owen turning 8 months, my mother-in-law and niece's birthday, and the last Sunday at Sovereign Grace (not totally 'celebratory'; bittersweet I'd say) before we begin meeting at Grace Church with our church plant team. Next month will be busy and fun and full of celebrating too!

I so enjoyed being able to take part in this special holiday, and reflect on how God granted my dream of being a mother. I loved on Owen a little extra that day - he makes it easy to be his mommy :) I also took some time to reflect on my own mother and how much I miss her. She was a wonderful, wonderful mom. I see that even more now that I am a mother too. Makes me miss her even more. Anyway, we spent the evening relaxing with Dad and watching a movie. All in all it was such a nice day and I felt so blessed. I adore being a Mom and getting to celebrate those Moms around me that I look up to and want to be like.
