Baby Owen Schmitt's Mid-Winter Visit

I know I may be a bit partial, but my newphew is pretty darned cute! I call him Baby Owen Schmitt these days - because I think he may very well be on his way to Owen Schmitt's size. Alex just turned 9 months old...and he weighs 24 pounds. Elizabeth, on the other hand, is 2 years, 1 week old...and she weighs 25 pounds. Not to mention she has several inches on him!

Alex is doing the cutest flirty thing. When you make good eye contact with him, he'll squint his eyes - pretty much his whole face gets scrunched up - and it just makes you giggle.

He enjoyed the exersaucer at Grandma & Papi's. Not to be outdone by Ali, Elizabeth wanted to get in the exersaucer too. She figured that she was too big when she was completely hanging out of every part of the exersaucer. Kids are funny!



Papi gave Elizabeth her first lesson in making biscuits. She was "helping" him cut the biscuits. She also did some quality control sampling of the dough. It was fun to watch the two of them together. Not to mention, it was fun to eat Papi's yummy biscuits!!!
