Cook Family STL

Emily's cousin Amy delivered a sweet and beautiful baby girl at 3:53 this morning. Noelle weighed in at 7 lbs. 1 oz. Congrats to Amy, Chris, Uncle Kenny and Aunt Alexis!

We had a busy Halloween! First, we stopped off at Grammy Cook's. Then to Grandpa Cook's house. Then down to visit Meme. Then we stopped by GeeBee's house. Finally, we made an appearance at the Gehr's party. Then to home and to bed. Whew. Next year, we are trick or treating in our neighborhood and family can come to us! :)

More pictures of the little lion are up on flickr.

We just wanted to give a shout out to our friends over at BebeThreads.com, makers of fine personalized baby clothing which Owen is enjoying below!

We visited the pumpkin patch this weekend

The only downside is that we had our favorite point and shoot camera stolen. But we got some great pictures from our big camera, check out the rest!

In other news, Owen is working on his 3rd molar, making it tooth #10. Next up is getting ready for Halloween!

Emily's second episode of Grocery School is up!

Emily's first official Grocery School episode has gone live!

Congratulations baby, I'm so proud of you!

We are officially up to 9 teeth! The other top molar popped through. Owen will be excited to chew some food, as soon as some bottom molars come in.

Boomer is still suffering allergies. Unfortunately they don't really have any way to narrow down exactly what she is allergic too, so we just have to keep her hopped up on anti-histamines.

Everyone else is doing fine this week, all quiet on the mid-western front.

Daddy finally got around to uploading the backlog of summer pictures to Flickr. Check them out!

Owen has cut his first molar, bringing his grand total up to 8! He's very excited and can't wait to cash in his dividends with the Tooth Fairy when his teeth mature (and fall out). Given the economic times, we're all looking forward to the cash.

In other exciting news Emily is now officially writing for GrocerySchool.com look forward to her first scripts to start airing later this month!

We wanted to give a shout out to our friends the Bischof's over at the hawk's nest who just did a photo session with the awesome Nicole Welch. Check out the previews, they look great!

Boomer says hi!

If you haven't been keeping track, Owen's Uncle Jay has been hard at work directing various internet tv shows. So if you haven't already, check out PopCrunch, Grocery School, FN Crazy (food network), and Rookie Cook.

He's even had the opportunity to do some ... acting:

Thanks to everyone who made it out to Owen's first birthday party. We all had a wonderful time and Owen loves all of the great gifts he received.

Owen just cut a new tooth on the bottom, bringing the grand total up to 7 teeth. He has been eating "regular" food for about 3 weeks now and mealtimes are now quite ... challenging.

In other news Owen has learned to Moonwalk. We're working on video...
