The Deak family: July 2009
http://chicagodeaks.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 14, 2009. On the happier side, Owen turned 1! Owen's birthday candle from Amy - Fire bad Owen. Birthday cake #1 did not survive. Cake #2 in Ft. Wayne. My man (and Owen's friend) Isaac rocking the superhero mask. He was a pro by cake #3 - No hands! Owen is lucky to have some pretty cool cousins on both sides, and after getting to hang out with them lately he decided that he LOVES them. He has also gotten to spend some time with my mom (he even says something close to grandma) at the beach.

The Deak family: Walking!
http://chicagodeaks.blogspot.com/2009/05/walking.html
Wednesday, May 13, 2009. Just before Mother's Day and Owen reaching 11 months, he has really started to take off with walking! He took his first steps several weeks ago, but has the confidence to walk across the room (when he wants to). I think he will be running everywhere he goes very soon. Here is a video of Owen walking! He babbles in the beginning and the camera runs out of memory, but he gets a few good steps in. Here is a brief update of our life with Owen at 11 months. Mike and Kristie Deak.

The Deak family: January 2009
http://chicagodeaks.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 8, 2009. Owen will be 7 months old tomorrow and just wanted to use it as an excuse to post a bunch of random pictures that I thought were cute. Just a couple of updates to let everyone know how well he is doing. He's now over 21 pounds (90th percentile) and 27 inches (75th percentile). I can't believe how big he has gotten. Other than being well fed and having chubby cheeks (like his mom), he is also incredibly long! He is an excellent eater, which is no surprise! Owen loves his "dada".

The Deak family: The 22 lb. weight class and St. Patty's Day
http://chicagodeaks.blogspot.com/2009/03/22-lb-weight-class-and-st-pattys-day.html
Tuesday, March 31, 2009. The 22 lb. weight class and St. Patty's Day. We've been pretty busy these days with crazy times at Kristie's and my work added onto all of Owen's happenings, so I'll be doing some catching up in these posts. First off, Owen made his wrestling debut at a meet grandpa Barney helped run, and got to spend time with his uncles and cousin Zack as well. He's obviously not trying to cut weight yet, but his form looks pretty good! A later picture of Owen on his first swing! June 11, 2008.

Sunday, September 14, 2008. Labor Day weekend was Owen first big car trip. We first went to Fort Wayne to finally meet Aunts Tracie and Jamie and cousins Matthew and Kyleigh. After a short overnight stay in Papaw's new house, we were off to Dayton for my cousin Cameron's wedding. Owen got to meet Mommy's Aunt Karen. Cam and Meg are married! Meeting another big Cubs fan, Cameron. At brunch the next day. Meg won't put him down! Hangin' with Grandpa Barney. Playing patty cake with Aunt Kelley. My mom came t...

The Deak family: November 2008
http://chicagodeaks.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 16, 2008. A couple of firsts. This was a big weekend for Owen, who got to experience a couple of things for the first time. We gave him some rice cereal, which was fun and messy. He's still getting used to the idea of eating from a spoon but I think he will get the hang of it in a few days. Mike and Kristie Deak. Here’s a video of Owen in his Jumparoo. He really goes crazy and loves to squeal and giggle while he is jumping…so turn up the volume! Mike and Kristie Deak. Here he is with Elmo.

The Deak family: Speed Racer
http://chicagodeaks.blogspot.com/2009/02/speed-racer.html
Wednesday, February 25, 2009. Owen decided that it was time to cause a little more havoc when he began to crawl on Thursday! He started off a little shaky (see video), but he has picked it up pretty quickly in the five days since. This does mean, of course, that we will have to stop storing our broken glass and scissors on the floor (just kidding grandmas). Here are the requisite cute pictures:. Training for yard work. Owen showing off his new ride. Our little happy guy. Mike and Kristie Deak.

The Deak family: Owen - Daddy time in Tampa
http://chicagodeaks.blogspot.com/2009/03/owen-daddy-time-in-tampa.html
Tuesday, March 31, 2009. Owen - Daddy time in Tampa. Owen and I tagged along with Kristie to Florida while she attended a conference, and we were able to do all kinds of fun stuff. The three of us visited with Kristie's college friend Becky, her husband Matt, and their one-year-old Jake in Venice (happy birthday Jake! Owen deciding whether or not to go in. Mom and the beach baby. Two pairs of troublemakers. Owen's introduction to slides. Finally, while the water at the beach (which we visited again) was ...
