Growing Times

Looking adorable this evening (in my bias opinion ; )

Combing his hair with his food covered fork
And this is what he looks like after Daddy has tried to get it out with a wet wash cloth. It's hard to tell in this picture, but his hair was orange.

OK, so I have been slacking here this week. We have been busy, and a little lazy, hence the lag in the blog.

Another new trick he has discovered is pulling a kitchen chair up to the counters to see what else he can get into at this new level. Not too happy about this one.

Lately Owen has been trying to delay his bed time for as long as possible. When I pick him up to put him to bed, he makes his whole body go limp and heavy so it's harder to pick him up. He pulls out extra books to read, he starts to get wound up and runs all over the place to show that he's not tired, he says he has to go "pee pee" when he doesn't, etc.... the list goes on and on. Once I actually get a hold of my little heavy noodle we walk through the house and say good night to everything we see, the kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, Elmo, flowers, etc.... This seems to do the trick. I then put him in his crib and he seems satisfied. He usually goes right to sleep.
