Wow it's been a long time! We didn't have a computer for about 3 weeks, and then lately I've been imtimidated by the catching up! So here's a current post to start.
Owen is 15 months old, or 1 and a quarter years old! Crazy! I feel like he's suddenly gotten old. Probably partly because I finished nursing him right before he was 14 months, which seems so long ago! babies always grow up fast in my eyes after they're done nursing.
But the thing that's made him seem the oldest is definitely his
TALKING!
I can't say he's my earliest talker, because we all know Katelyn talked really well at a ridiculously young age. But I had always heard that girls were more verbal than boys, so I assumed it might take him a little longer to speak-- not so! Here are the things he can say:
mama
dada
"suss" for sister
"at" for Kate
"gog"-dog
"woh" -woof
"da-dune"-all done
"moh"-more
"chs"-cheese
"beh"-bread
"uh-bey"-strawberry
"wa-mah"-watermelon
"ba-ah"-bye
"hah"-hi
"nah"-good night
"beh"-bear
"baa"-blanket
go
"ca"-car
"ow" cow
uh-oh!
"oyoyo"(while shaking head)-no
"ah" (while nodding)-yes
"ba"-ball
"buh"-banana
"buh-buh" (with a squeaky cooing noise)-baby
"t"-treat
"ee"-ear``
"ah-sss"-outside
"sh"-shoe
"ju"-juice
"ba"-bath
"ba-poom"-bathroom
"be-t"-breakfast
Owen is so sweet and pretty obedient and loves "helping" sweep or do dishes or laundry. He follows directions really well like "throw away your trash" or "find your shoes". He gives hugs and kisses- to us and to other babies he meets. :) He has started to develop an angry scream (thanks girls for your bad example!) but he's pretty easily pacified, or gives up easily if we ignore it. He gets into EVERYTHING- he's way more curious than the girls were at his age! He's developed a love for shoelace-type strings and cords. The funniest thing he loves to carry around is my blow dryer for some reason! Basically, he's adorable. The end.
