14 months

Owen is now 14 months old. He is walking everywhere and into everything. One of his new favorite toys is our swiffer. He makes car noises as he pushes it around for 5-10 minutes at a time. He also brushes his teeth at least 3 times per day. I think that he just likes biting on the hard plastic... his molars are coming in.He got his second haircut the other day.He is still a good eater most days. He weighs 24 lbs now and has quite the belly on him. We affectionately call his belly button and turkey timer because it is mostly an innie however it does "pop" out when he eats.Another favorite toy: my camera case (empty of course) In other news: he is starting to talk. He says "cook" when he wants to play with pots and pans. Bana is banana. He says something and points to puppies, but I'm not sure what he says exactly. He's been fighting a cold lately and his sleep has been interrupted a lot more, but all in all a healthy little man.

Home

Keith and I got back last night from a 5 day trip to Mexico. It was a great trip with wonderful friends, but we sure did miss our little guy!We celebrated Valentine's Day at home. Daddy even took the day off. Owen got new crayons and paper. He LOVED coloring. It kept his attention for about 10 minutes... that's a long time!In other news: Owen no longer likes to eat bananas cut up. He will if I give him a fork, but he must not like the mushy feeling on his fingers. Instead he prefers to eat it like a "big boy".O also got a new "ride" from Nana and Papa B. It was intended for him to push, but I'm certain that this will not be the first ride we give him. He's making car noises in the picture.
Happy Love Day to our family and friends!

Snow Day

We woke up this morning to this drift in our driveway! Owen and I are standing behind it. It was up to my waist!!!! Thanks Papa and Daddy for clearing the driveway. There is still quite a large pile of snow in front of the house... it may take awhile to get rid of all this white stuff.Owen has turned into quite the outdoorsman. He threw himself on the floor in a tantrum when he saw daddy going outside without him. I bundled him up and we made it outside for a short sled ride and then back to the garage for a little "car time". He could ride in it for hours... literally! Check out those rosy cheeks though. It was COLD!The rest of the day was spent playing in the tunnel.Climbing the stairs. (another favorite that he could do for hours)And playing with some play-doh. He doesn't really like to "squish" it, but he loves when I make things and he pulls them apart.
Back to work tomorrow, but its already Thursday!
