Owen our cutie patutie

Owen has really progressed in a lot of areas within the past week and I wanted to post those things since they have really brought joy to me and my hubby. We just love this stage and we are amazed at how much a 16 month old really understands and how quickly Owen learns and repeats.
  • When we ask Owen, "Where's your belly?" He lifts up his shirt and touches his tummy.
  • When Owen has his shoes on we ask, "Where's your shoes." He'll squat down and point to his shoes on his feet.
  • Owen has mastered the straw, and of course he quickly caught onto this straw mastery while holding onto a shake from In-N-Out with the death grip.
  • We love to blow kisses to Owen and he likes to do it back, although rather than kissing his hand and blowing back a kiss he'll rattle his lips with his fingers and make lots of noise.
  • We have recently been singing the "itsy bitsy spider" to Owen and he has a book that has the words with pictures. Whenever we start singing this nursery rhyme he has to go get the book and make noises along with us as if he's saying the words too.

We love our cutie patutie, and we especially love him when he gets his naps in and gets to bed on time.

If In-N-Out is what taught him about a straw, he is definately his father's son! :) I can't believe he's so big! We haven't seen you guys in forever!
