Spoiling Owen, Take 2

The spoiling Owen/ soaking up lots of family time events continue. The weather has cooled down a bit, and we are loving the onset of fall in St. Louis.

 

We caught another Cards game on 9/9. Owen didn't sit quite as well during this game, but a short intermission at Fredbird Field helped us get through most of 8 innings.

Last week Mike took Wed afternoon off (at my pleading... thanks, love!) because he was working the weekend. We had a Groupon to the Museum of Transportation, and since our O loves anything with a motor (where does he get that?), we thought it would be a great way to spend a sunny afternoon.

They had lots of life size/real choo choo 'tains'... currently Owen's favorite vehicle with a motor.

A big hit.

Owen loves trains so much that it might possibly be the theme of his 2nd birthday party. We still have several months to see if something new & exciting pops up, though.

Gear heads.

I adore this picture of my two loves.

How does this bell work, daddy?

On Sunday we convinced both MiMas and Papas to head over to Eckert's farm to do some apple picking.

 

Checking things out with Papa Cooper

 

Someone has two MiMas wrapped around his little fingers.

Someone has two Papas wrapped around his little fingers.

 

 

Like Papa, Like Grandson

Owen of course l.o.v.e.d. the tractor ride. The 'lack' of suspension spurred quite a few contractions for me, too! ha ha

O loved picking them up and throwing them in the bag. Picking from trees was a little more difficult.

 

But he got a tasty treat on the ride back.. daddy helped him get the apple started.

And soon he got it figured out for himself.

We couldn't let the spoiling stop at apple picking. We bought two tickets for him to ride some rides (a first). He picked the appropriate helicopter... go Navy. Again, like Papa, like grandson.

He also loved the 'train'. It went pretty quick, and I was afraid he would be scared.. but I had no reason to worry (like usual).

 

We are having a blast living at home and exploring our new city! Also.... the more we get out, the quicker these last few weeks of pregnancy will go =)
