We Love Mr. Owen!

Helping Mom bottle tomatoes

Oh, how I just adore this little boy! He is just so much fun to be around. Owen is now 26 months old. He learning new things daily which helps him keep us with Vanessa.

Here are some fun facts about Mr. Owen

• He has just recently started calling Vanessa, "Madetta." It is the cutest thing when you hear him calling for her.

• His new favorite toy that he must carry around is his "sword" (a yellow play kitchen knife *see photos above). He even requests it when he falls asleep. That "sword" rarely leaves his little hands. He likes to play pirates and be a bad guy with it and run around the house shouting. "I'm a bad guy. Arrrrr!!!"
• He loves to talk and tell stories. His stories are quite the stories. We get a kick out of him every time his tells us one. They mostly consist of his daily activities so it is fun to hear how he perceives things.
• He is quite the little helper. He loves to push up his chair to the kitchen counter and "help Mom cook."
• He thinks that lotion is soap and loves to climb up on the bathroom counter and wash his hands.
• He misses Vanessa every time she goes to Preschool but enjoys the one-on-one time with Mom.
• He still is a very good eater. You would think that he would be a big kid with all the food he eats.
• He loves watching the ultrasound videos of the new baby. Just a few days ago, while listening to the baby's heartbeat, he reached over and put his hand on my belly. What a sweet moment. He will also come and kiss my belly and tell the baby "I love you."
• He loves to say prayer. He is very reverent and we have to be very quite to hear him say it.

• He wears size 24 months to 2T clothes and is in a size 6 shoe.

He is at such a fun stage right now and we love just being able to watch him grow!
