Busy Busy Busy

Last week Owen and I ventured over to Fayetteville to see Grammee! It was good to see my mom. She let me have a little break by feeding O and letting him sleep in her room! Thanks mom. Of course we went shopping,Grammee got Owie a big boy car seat. He can look around and see the world! I think he's going to love it!

Owen and I always love when daddy is off work,especially on such a beautiful day. We went and got a pizza and had a picnic in the park and let Owen play and walk around. He loves being outside,and is enjoying the slide and swings. I'm so ready for Spring so we can be outside all the time.

Grandpa got O shoes from Striderite to help him walk, so he's been getting better about walking with "real" shoes on his feet. I can't wait to get him so flipflops, then he will be just like mommy :)

Bridal Session

Last week I was lucky enough to photograph this beautiful bride! We had a great afternoon down at the Botanical Gardens and some fun places in Bricktown!
Her wedding is in a few weeks so I will have some more to share later on :)

SUGGESTIONS PLEASE

Ok I need opinions that help! I started doing the crying it out thing with Owen a while ago. For some reason he will go a week, sleep thru the night and be fine, then there have been days where he will wake up anywhere from 12:30-2 crying wanting to eat. I KNOW HE CAN SLEEP THRU THE NIGHT,HE'S DONE IT BEFORE. I will let him cry it out for a while then i will go in and check on him,comfort him, and sometimes rock him(I know probably not the best thing) but then once he gets a bottle he's fine.
Should I just keep him in there crying, knowing he can do it? Or should I still feed him? I JUST NEED SOME HELP!!!!!

Also I started him having the same bed time right around 8:45 each night and he was doing good with it for about a week and now it's different. There are days where it's definately earlier or later. He sometimes isn't tired at 8:45 and is so playful!
Any ideas with this also?

Thank you!!!!

Happy Birthday Savannah

This past weekend we went to my BFF's daughters First Birthday Party!!! Owen and I drove up to Tulsa for a fun evening with friends. Savannah's party was Baby Einstein theme.So stinkin cute! Owen had a great time playing with the other kids and getting his hands on everything!
Savannah had her shots the day before so she wasn't much into the excitement or was it our singing? :)
Happy Birthday Savy! We love you!
