Brown Canyon Hike

A few weekends ago (I'm way behind in posting - what's new?!), we took Owen on his first Arizona hike at Brown Canyon Ranch. If you're interested in a little history, visit this site, http://browncanyonranch.org/, to learn more about the ranch, which was built in the early 1900's. It was a hot morning, so we didn't make it all the way to the end, but we all slept like babies when we got home!

Me and Owen


Carson waving to me. He just had to bring his Toy Story water gun, in case any bears came to shoot them, haha. No bears, so he just ended up shooting bugs.
Owen sleeping in the carrier - this was how he was for most of the hike.

Carson was covered in dirt at the end of our hike - boys will be boys. =)
Some pictures of the views...

More Video & ABCs

Just another video of my boys taken one morning this past June. Although the video is mostly of Owen, Carson says his ABC's in the video, although he gets distracted by something towards the end, so I have to keep him going. Carson is doing really well with saying his ABC's, recognizing letters, and even some sight words. We've been working on it by playing little games and doing crafts, and it's amazing how fast he'll pick up things.

Owen's 2 Month Stats

Last week, Owen had his 2 month check-up. I knew he had gained weight, but I didn't know how much. I was surprised when the scale said 13 pounds 4 ounces, which is at the 85%. He is almost double what he was at his birth! He also measured at 23 1/4 inches, which is at the 75%. I'm so blessed to have such a healthy baby. I don't remember what his head measured, but it is at the 50%, so to sum things up, Owen has an average head on a large body. =) Owen did so well while the doctor was checking him, but when it came to the shots he had to get, Owen was less than thrilled. He did not handle the shots as well as Carson always has; he was one angry little babe! After a good feeding and nap though, he was as good as new. Carson was a good big brother during the visit, and stroked Owen's head and told him it would be okay. He can be so sweet sometimes. Here's some pictures of my little piggy with his little bandaids.

Father's Day 2010

Carson and Owen are so lucky to have such a hard-working, devoted, fun and loving dad in Jason. I must say, they also have some pretty amazing grandpas as well! Poor Jason had to work on Father's Day, but the night before we made a yummy crab legs dinner, and Carson and Owen gave Jason an early Father's Day gift - a Gyro Swing Trainer Golf Club. Also, Carson colored a Dad mug for Jason. He was so proud to give it to his daddy. =) This year, Jason's dad was here to celebrate with us, so we got a picture of all the Heffel men.

Smiles and Brothers

Carson has been telling Owen that he loves him lately. It is the sweetest thing! I can't wait to see them grow up together. Here are a couple of pictures of Carson and Owen one morning lounging.


Owen has been smiling almost since we have brought him home! Of course, most people say it's just gas in the beginning, but now that he is older and is still a smiley boy, I think he is and has always been just a happy baby! Whatever it is, his smiles melt my heart.
Smiling in his sleep =)

My Boys

Just some pics of the boys. Owen is still a wonderful sleeper and eater, and he likes to sit up and look at what's going on around him. He is also really good at holding up his head during tummy time and is already trying to scoot. Carson has become quite the little monkey and tries to climb our bookcase, the couch, the table, etc..., which is driving mommy crazy! haha. As you can tell from the first picture, Owen likes to look at his big brother, and Carson loves attention, so he likes to entertain his little brother. Although it's a lot of work, I absolutely love having 2 boys!

Owen's First Bottle

As much as I love breastfeeding, I am determined to get Owen used to taking a bottle when the occasion arises that I am not around or I am busy with Carson... or maybe I just need a break! Carson was very picky and would not take one until he was around 9-months-old. However, Owen seems to be a little more easy-going and once I figured out how to work my breastpump, he has taken a few in the past couple of weeks from Jason. He doesn't drink a whole lot from the bottle yet, only a couple of ounces, but it's a good start! Don't you just love Jason's mustache? haha. Thankfully Mustache May is over. =)
