Riding the "Neighhh" at Cole's house!
Size: Owen is still wearing all size 18 month clothes right now. He has plenty of 18 month clothes, but will soon be in 24 month/2T clothes and we barely have any clothes of that size, so we will need to do some shopping here soon! I'm thankful Dylan can wear most of Owen's clothes right about... now! It makes me feel not as bad splurging on something extra cute knowing it will get worn by Owen AND Dylan.
Owen is still a little chunk, but has definitely thinned out a bit. He still has a little belly, that we call his Santa Belly and some chunky little thighs that I love to squeeze!
Special Trips/Visits: Owen's old nannny, Katie, came to visit and brought her daughter, Kenzie, with her. We had not seen her in about 6 months, although she lives in Haymarket, only a few minutes from us. When she saw Owen she started crying because of how much he had grown and how much she had missed him. It was so sweet to see and made me even more grateful that we were lucky enough to have someone take care of Owen that loved him so much while I was working. God is good!
Jimmy and I hosted Thanksgiving this year and had some of Jimmy's family up for the day. My Mom and I cooked the meal, she did the turkey and desserts, and I did the sides and appetizers. It was so fun to host and cook! Although, it was exhausting... I was cleaning and preparing food all week! I don't have many pictures yet, so when I get some from other people, I'll do a Thanksgiving Day post.
Firsts: Owen has started using a fork! He picked it up right away and now uses it for most meals. He is so determined to get that piece of food on his fork. Sometimes it takes him a few minutes to get the food on the fork, but he keeps trying! I think it would be so easy to just grab the piece of food with his other hand and stuff it in his mouth, but he is very persistent! I love to see the look of pride on his face when he accomplishes something he tries so hard at.
Owen has also started to brush his teeth with a real tooth brush and tooth paste. For awhile we were using the baby tooth brush, which has rubber bristles. It was time to start using a big boy tooth brush. He loves brushing his teeth! Probably because I bought him banana flavored tooth paste, haha!
Of course he had to try and turn on the water!
Bed head.
Eating some cucumbers with ranch dressing.
Chowing down on his first Georgetown Cupcake. He only ate half. :)
He loves to play with these drum sticks Daddy got him when he went to Cleveland for work.
(They are from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.)
Loves to play in his 'fort'!
Loves his penguin, Quacky. Giving him some kisses!
Feeding Lola some treats!
Dislikes: Owen does not like milk. I have tried for months to get him to drink milk and he just won't. I've decided to give him vitamin D and calcium fortified orange juice, which he loves. He also gets cheese and yogurt each day so he is getting the nutrients he needs but is missing from milk. Our pediatrician said they don't need milk, just the vitamins, calcium, and calories from it. So, as long as they are getting that somewhere else in their diet, they are fine.
Sixth Sense, anyone?
I walked into the room to see he had moved all the dining room chairs.
Turned his car seat around, now we can see each other. :)
Doing some push ups on Daddy's push up bar.
Oh no!!!
Peek-a-boo!
Happy Holidays everyone!
Love,
Judi
