100th Post!

I can't believe I have done 100 posts already. Some people ask me why I do this. They are usually wondering how I have the time to do it, and why put it up for the world to see. First of all, yes, it does take more time than I should be spending on it, but to have all the little things that usually get missed in a baby book that we always forget to write in, makes it worth it to me. I know that Owen will appreciate this when he is older and can laugh about all the funny things he did. I hardly recognize his infant pictures with dark hair and spastic movements. To record this stuff is priceless, because my memory isn't as good as I wish it was!

Secondly, I post it to keep my east coast and distant family up to date as to what we are up to. They can watch him grow up weekly which keeps them happy and informed :). It's my online baby book that is organized, legible and includes pictures and video, it's genius! I am so glad I started this, I just wish I started earlier!

So, lately Owen has been really into the nursery rhymes, and songs. I wish I had it recorded, but he must have sung "Patty Cake" about 20 times in a row tonight, then twinkle twinkle, ABC's, itsy bitsy spider, I am a little tea pot, and "all the fish are swimming in the water." Patty cake sounded a bit like this: "Patty cake, patty cake.... rooooooollllll it (with the hand movements rolling I might add).......mark it B.... put in oven for MEEEEE!" He finishes each song with an ear to ear smile and lots of clapping. So cute!

Here he is running under Daddy's legs while Adam jumps over him.

Yesterday we were in Sur La Table and one of the employees asked him what his favorite foods were. He thought for a few seconds and listed off, in order: "broccoliiiiiii, mac n' cheeeeeeese, gummy staaaaars (these are his daily vitamins), O's, Panda's (two cereals that he likes to snack on), strawberriiiiiiiiiiies..... So funny to watch him list them all off.

One of Owen's "old favorite" book has returned as a new favorite again, which is Where the Wild Things Are. All night he would randomly blurt out "Max, no get dinner!"

On to potty training:

We went to Target last week to get Owen's first pair of big boy underpants! We found a Sesame Street package that he is quite excited about. He wore them on his head at first, I am not sure if he quite understands what it's all about, but he wants them! I'll keep ya posted when we graduate to those : )

Whenever he gets hurt or falls down, he always says "Mommy, hold you" (instead of "me"). He doesn't quite get the whole "me, you, I" meanings just yet. It just melts my heart to hear those words though : )

I was doing dishes the other night after dinner while Owen quietly played by himself. He came back into the kitchen and was wearing a Hitler mustache. I had to take a picture.
