Tebows, Piglets and Sharks, Oh my!

2012 has brought a whole lot of smiles from the Colorado Sowa kids.

They're starting to be just adorable, playing and laughing together.

Porter enjoyed bringing in the start of the New year by celebrating Tebow's victory against the Steelers.

And he got to enjoy a special day with Grandma and Grandpa at the Stock Show.

"Mama, will you let me grow up to be a cowboy???"

The kids had a blast at the swimming pool.

(This is Porter's 'Baywatch' pose....

(...this is Emma Rose's...)

It's fun to see both kids (even Emma Rose from the get-go) adore splashing and playing in the water.

Both kids really enjoyed Ocean's Journey, Denver's Aquarium

(which Porter called the Crarry-Rum)

Porter LOVED the turtles!

He wasn't too sure about the sharks, though.

Emma Rose cooed the whole time.

(Porter called this fish "Tiger":)

What's been really exciting is watching Emma Rose grow up. She's now 9 months old, and weighs 21 pounds (a mere 6 pounds lighter than her big brother at this age.) She is close to walking on her own, happy and sociable, enthusiastic, happy and loved.
