17 months old!

Okay, so I realize that aging is inevitable…but where is time going? Did my little guy really just turn 17 months old? That means 18 months is right around the corner! These milestones are only getting harder to grasp. I can see that every day he is learning new things and developing as a toddler…such an adorable little sponge! Am I the only one that cannot believe how fast he seems to be growing? I wish I could freeze-frame some of these moments.
Owen has been getting more interested in the dogs again…he does this cute jibberish cooing to Angel…then turns and points and says “don’t” in Jade’s direction. Huh, I wonder where he learned that. Ha ha.
His sign language is developing. We constantly see him using the signs for more, please, milk, and eat. We know that at daycare he was recently learning the sign for cookie and at home we were working on the sign for thank you.
We have a busy-body on our hands…and we are loving every second of it! (And yes, he is holding a cell phone...if he sees either of us go near any phone, he MUST have it.)

Playing catch up

More pictures along the way...from around Christmas time to now...that I've been meaning to share.
We bought Owen his own recliner for Christmas. He is slowly using it more and more. Mostly he just likes to climb into it, then get right back out...go figure.


Some fun in the sun...and snow! All that gear makes it tough for the little guy to get around, but we were able to enjoy the snow for a bit.

Time to get that highchair out of the dining room! Owen is finally eating dinner at the table with us! Well, his highchair was at the table...but that was different. Now he sits on a booster seat.

Not so bald...

I took this picture back in November...and am finally posting it. Owen has very fine, thin hair...but it is there! Check out these locks... and since November the length has about doubled!
