Owen 18 months!

Sweet Owen,

You are 18 months old!  Where does the time go?  Your daddy and I were commenting today how you look like such a big boy now.  You have gotten so tall and have quite the personality.







You will eat anything my dear. You are such a good eater and have never been picky.  Your favorites are anything with spaghetti sauce or cheese. 


You are now walking everywhere and are so close to running.   You are getting faster and faster everyday.  We love watching you when you play, because you will squat down to play with your toys.

Your favorite activities are hide and seek (I usually do all the hiding though), peek a boo, singing songs, playing outside, going to the park, anything with music, balls, cars (you've recently started making noises like "vroom vroom" while playing), playing in any water, playing in sand, going on walks, "talking" on the phone, being tickled, reading books with mommy or daddy or to yourself, playing in your room by yourself, and any organizational toy.  We have begun working on colors and letters and you are loving this.  You aren't quite getting it yet,  but I know you will. 




You don't watch a lot of tv, but maybe one show a day.  The only shows you like right now are "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" or "Yo Gabba Gabba." 

You LOVE to talk and although we can't understand you when you really get going sometimes, you are so adorable.  You know where your belly button, nose, mouth, and toes are.   You say car, ball, mommy, daddy, Mawmaw, Pawpaw, Mimi, dog, belly, milk, more, juice, book, and many many more things.  You are very smart and you learn things very quickly. 





You love to give kisses and hugs, high five, knuckles, put clothes in the dryer, turn on and off lights, close doors, throw things away, pick up your toys, and snuggle.  You are our little helper and we love how you love to help. 

Some funny things you have begun doing are barking like a dog when you hear one, telling yourself no no if you know you are doing something you aren't supposed to, walking all over the house talking on the phone, climbing on and off the couch a hundred times in a row, closing the door in our face and saying bye bye as loud as you can, dancing when you hear music anywhere, and laughing when you hear us laughing even if you don't know whats funny.



You are getting your molars in and you are not happy about it.  You have always been a slow teether and we will get through this my little one. 

You are so sweet, loving, fun, hilarious, and a delight to be around.  We get compliments all the time about how well behaved you are and about your red hair and blue eyes.  We love you so much and can't wait to continue to watch you grow baby boy.




Love,

Momma and Dadda
