I know I've been a bad blogger! I just haven't had the time to sit and type and upload pictures so I've neglected this little blog. But, I'm back! and I've got new pictures of our little man. He is already ten months and I've started thinking about his first birthday party - I've decided on the cake I think and I'm going to start working on the invitations but I still can't believe it's almost been a year since he was born...
Well Owen has been very busy learning all kinds of new things. It seems that on a daily basis he is learning a new word, a new sign, or a new skill (or all three!). I'm doing sign language with him and he's been picking it up pretty quickly. He will ask me to turn the light "on" by signing and will tell me when he's "all done" with eating. He points to everything and says, "un un" for me to identify the item/person/animal. He will point to Daddy, the fan, the light, the cat, and the dog on request. He will turn a book or picture the right way if he picks it up upside down. He loves loves loves his books and when we ride in the car, he is usually "reading" a book, pointing with his little finger, and "talking" about what he sees! He is reaching for stuff out of his immediate grasp while sitting and will really stretch and lean and then get back to sitting with no problems. He will get to his belly from sitting and has finally started rolling over and now he won't stop! He loves to roll while we're changing his diaper (which makes for some very quick maneuvering on my part) and laughs while he does it. He is just begun to take an interest in cars and the little people "people" and animals. He is trying to repeat lots of words, even "zebra!" He stands at the furniture and will take steps to "cruise" from one person to the next or from the sofa to the chair. He takes steps if you hold both hands. He is also a big fan of the pool - he kicks his feet when you say "kick kick kick" and loves to splash and "swim". He has seven, yes seven!, teeth - 4 on the bottom and 3 on top. He's eating lots of different table foods but I mush them up in the food processor before feeding it to him. He is very interested in what we are eating and I give him bites of fruit and veggies and breads when I'm eating. He also likes to drink out of a cup or a water bottle. I'm sure there are lots of things that I'm leaving out that he does but I can't think of any more right now. I hope all is well with everyone and I'll try to post again soon.
Here's Owen, right after a bath and ready for bed - so cute and happy!
