Owen is growing and changing way too fast! He is hilarious and fun and learning new things everyday. Here are some of the things Owen is doing these days.
1. Owen has a new joke he loves to tell, especially about his cousins. When you ask Owen where Luke is, he points to himself and laughs, and waits until you say "nooooo", then he signs for "more" and the game continues on and on until you can't name one more person.
2. Owen loves basketball, I may have mentioned this in my last post but it is his absolute favorite thing so I had to mention it again. He can now say basketball, which no one can really understand what he is saying besides mommy and daddy. When daddy comes home he makes a swish motion with his hand, yells "oohhhhh" and runs to the basketball hoop in his playroom in hopes that daddy will follow him.
He shoots......
He scores.....
3. Owen now says so many words I can't keep track of how many. He repeats a lot of the words we say. He still likes to have conversations of pure jibber jabber that no one quite understands, but he is able to communicate many things to us now.
4. Owen's loves to read books. He is moving onto picture books, which is exciting for us to read different books for a change. Here are a few of his favorites....
Owen calls this one the "dada book"...
Owen says "arlo" when he is requesting that we read this one...
And this one is the "no, no" book...
5. Owen still has a whiny time after his afternoon nap and before dinnertme. If he had it his way I would carry him around on my hip while cooking dinner each night. It would be beneficial for all moms to have two extra arms at this time of the day.
6. Owen loves the great outdoors, each time we get out of the car at home he tries to take off down the sidewalk in hopes that I will chase him and allow him to play outside for a while. One day it will warm up, I promise Owen.
7. Owen is eating pretty well, he is still funny about foods that look different to him. I read somewhere that kids will have a harder time eating foods that aren't introduced to them before the age of three. Well I have a whole lot of foods to get in front of Owens face in a year and a half.
8. Owen loves bath time and requests "bubbles" each time we take his clothes off.
9. Elmo is owen's favorite character, we use the iPad holder in the car for long trips so Owen can watch his favorite show.
10. Teeth, ahhhh! Owen has been cutting his incisors for over a month, it is a very frustrating process because it seems like he is in pain off and on everyday. Just come through already!!
11. Owen takes one nap from about 1:30- 4:00, sometimes even 5:00 or later if we are lucky.
12. We put Owen to bed around 8:00 and he sleeps until 7:30 sometimes 8:00. He has been waking up at night lately, but putting himself back to sleep. I blame this on those darn incisors.
13. Owen is not a fan of story hour. We go to different story hours around town once a week and Owen usually chooses to play at the train table instead of listen to the story.
14. Owen's favorite people are Max and Luke (Owen now calls Luke "do"). When we gets in the car to go anywhere Owen requests "max, max". When he finally gets to see his favorite boys he claps and giggles with pure excitement. It is the cutest thing.
15. Owen sleeps with his giraffe (he now calls it his "baby"), two blankets, and his big Jellycat dog. As soon as he sees his "baby", he pops his thumb in his mouth.
16. I cut Owen's hair myself. I usually let him watch Baby Einstein on the iPad while he stands in his tower and I give him his monthly hair cut. I have a feeling he is going to have very thick hair like mommy and daddy and it will become more difficult to cut myself, but for now it works great!
17. We started putting Owen in "time out" when he would hit us. He seemed to do it when he was really frustrated so we started putting him against the wall and we would walk away. He would be very upset and eventually would get up and follow us. He really hasn't hit us or anyone else since we started this. Now he is into throwing his food so we have been putting him in time out for that, hopefully that will taper off as well.
