First Tooth, First Foods

Today Gillen got his very first tooth. There has been so much drool, but not much else to indicated our boy was teething. Very different from his brother.

A little bottom tooth deserved a banana at breakfast - he had a great time "tasting" it!

Happy Valentine's Day

Ice Skating in Denver

One evening after dinner we ventured out to an outdoor mall skating rink. We were so happy to be the only ones skating that night and while it was pretty cold, we had a great time.

Gillen was bundled up but not very happy to be sitting out in the cold watching us skate, Gogi and Grammie Susie did their best to keep him warm and happy next to the heaters. Their help allowed Mama to skate too!

 We even got to spend some time on the ice alone together after Owen got tired :)

 Chloe joined us too! (she was a way better skater than all of us...)

Marble Run!

At Gogi's house there are tons of vintage toys to play with and Owen had a great time exploring them all. He found an old marble run and he put together the entire thing. We know something that is going on his birthday wish list!

Denver Children's Museum

Owen was thrilled to have his cousin Chloe join him at the Denver Children's Museum for a little fun before they closed. Afterwards we went to the playspace at REI (the original REI which is AH-MAZING) and then some frozen yogurt where Owen got to have his own bowl and pick out the toppings. Super fun night for this boy!

and this boy is always just happy to tag along <3

Denver Zoo

When we first booked our Denver trip we assured Owen he would get to play in the snow when we visited Gogi, little did we know the weather would be 60 and sunny and we'd enjoy a fun afternoon at the zoo. (of note: we forgot our camera so all of our Denver pictures were taken with my iphone)

He didn't ask about snow once :)
