Owen Update

So, the little goober is 17 months old. I think he must have quite a few New Years Resolutions he is trying to accomplish because he is doing new things left and right. Here is a quick update...

Attention! Attention! Crazy driver headed your way!

After the first of the year he started talking and he can't bring himself to quit! Some of the words in his dictionary are: Dad, doggie, Hi, Bye, Night-Night, juice, cat, horse, pig, strawberry, berries, more, please, thank you,mouse, Manny, tools, Oh Toodles!, ball, and Bekah.

Did I mention he is cutting his eye teeth?
He is chewing on everything, even the walls!

He is getting really good at identifying body parts and saying the words along with it. His favorite is finding your eyes. He does this to everyone, every toy, and every drawing in a book.

He has continued to be our champion eater! He finally refused to eat a food the other day, cooked cabbage, which is not completely unreasonable. He is still Bekah's little forager as he will eat fruit and veggies all day if you will let him.

I love this picture!
And, No, I have no idea what he is holding, nor do I want to.

He loves going to Sonshine School. Every Tuesday and Thursday he gets excited when we pull into the parking lot. He starts asking "Ah-ree?" "Ah-ree?" Aubry is he partner in crime at school. the two of them give their teacher a run for her money!

What? You don't let your kid accessorize with koozies?
Also, waaaa I miss the hippie hair!

He had his first major haircut. I cried, my stomach felt sick, and for a few days I couldn't look at him without feeling horrible! But, I am remembering my own words now, "Hair grows back", and he loves to spike his hair!

In New Baby news, I am 19 weeks along and feeling pretty good. I am pretty tired and I have a sporadic appetite this time around. The baby is a mover and a shaker. I got a little worried last week, I felt pretty bad and I had Braxton Hicks contractions all day long. But then I was told that you can have them earlier and more with a second baby so that put me at ease.

We get to find out if Owen is having a baby brother or baby sister next Wednesday! I am excited and I am hoping it will help us out in the naming department. I forgot what a challenge that is!
