I am starting to believe Owen is working on a full set of teeth! He has been teething for months and now has all 4 molars and working on all 4 eye-teeth. Let's just say nights at the Frederick house have not been too fun. Now to teach him to brush his teeth...this should be interesting!
I will post a pic of our little man with all his teeth...ha!

School wears me out!
Just a cute pic of Owen one day after school...man was he pooped! He was sitting on the bed playing with Sadie one minute then passed out, shoes on and all! He LOVES school but it wears him out :)
First Real Boo Boo!

Owen took his first hard fall a few weeks ago and scraped his chin, upper lip, nose and forehead. He is running now and runs after Sadie and loves to play with the boys in our cul-de-sac. But little man forgets that he's small and not as fast as Sadie and the boys...so he falls often. But this time was bad, he fell face first and we could tell that he really hurt himself. He's such a big boy now, he cried for maybe a minute then wanted to get down and play. Sure hurt my feelings though!

Biting...OH NO!!
Last week marked the first of the biting reports and then they came daily :( Miss Amanda would write a little note that said, "...your child attempted to bite one of their friends today..." well obviously, if O is trying to bite them, they aren't his friend...ha! I of course freaked out, worried sick that my child was going to be one of those kids that constantly bites their classmates and comes close to getting expelled...Worry set in! But his teacher said not to worry that each time he was acting in defense. "He is the smallest and youngest in his class and he is still trying to express his words...and he's teething bad so not to worry", they would tell me but still as a mom I worried especially after I got report after report last week.
To Owen's defense, he did get bit by another kid the week before that left a nasty bruise so who knows, maybe he learned to bite from other kids.
Well, Thursday Owen tried to bite my leg. He was playing around and laughing but wanted my attention and I was in the middle of making dinner. I guess he wanted my attention so he tried to bite me. I immediately grabbed his hand and yelled NO!!!!!!!!!!! And I guess I scared him, he cried for a bit. I felt horrible but I knew he needed to learn that biting was NOT ok. Let's just say Friday when G'ma picked him up from school, no biting report!! Maybe it worked :) Oh and now he knows the word NO, so maybe now he will use it!
Side note he opened his mouth to bite my finger on Sunday and then just kissed it :) Maybe he had slight memory loss but it made me feel so much better to know that he knew it was wrong...YAY! Mommy=1, Owen=0...ha!

Teething
I think we are in the never-ending teething phase...poor boy has been cutting teeth for a month now. His first molar popped through on our vacation and the rest have been working their way through. He now has all his molars almost through and several other teeth...working on 6 at the moment. It has been the cause for some grumpy and sleepless nights :( Will post a picturs of our little guy with all his teeth...ha!
Avoiding the Blog
I have been avoiding our blog for weeks because I am so far behind, it ain't even funny :) I gives me anxiety as to where to begin with updates. So while I have a list from August with promised updates, I decided to start with what Owen is doing this week...I mean really, that's what's important, right???
So with that said we have a injured little man on our hands. Yes, Owen is 100% all boy and we are finding that out the hard way. He runs, and I am not kidding when I say runs. I can hardly keep up with him. Well this weekend he was chasing Sadie and well, he took a tumble and fell face forward. Chris and I freaked out because he banged his head really hard on the sidewalk. Ran over and picked up a bloody face little guy...it broke my heart! He cscraped his chin, top lip, nose and forehead and everything was open and bleeding :( Poor little guy! He cried for maybe a minute and then wanted to get down and play, yes he's a boy! He looks like rudolph but doesn't seem to mind the cuts. We're making sure to keep them gooped up with neosporin and so far they are healing well. Let's hope it stays that way!
Other new things....Owen is talking sooooo much more! His new favorite words are more,"Adie" which is what he calls Sadie, ball, air plane, shoes, cup, no, Tasha (his teacher's name) all done and did I say more. The child wants more of everything :) Mostly food but now that he knows how to ask for more, he definitely does. As you may remember, we tried to teach Owen sign language, well that didn't work out so well...he clapped for more, hit my chin when I was teaching him thank you and threw his ands in the air for all done..let's just say motor-mouth would rather say what he wants than sign. And I don't blame him :) I asked his doctor if I should be worried that he wasn't picking it up quickly and he said that he doesn't really care for signing and that most toddlers that sign don't learn to say words as quickly. So guess we'll skip the signing for now and just keep working on our words.
It's amazing how much O has changed in just the past few weeks. He understands what I say and somewhat listens. In the morning I ask him where his shoes are, he gets them and then brings them to me, sits in my lap and we put them on...it's so sweet! He also knows to sit down when I tell him, knows what "no touch" means. Its great now because just a few weeks ago when we would take something away from him, he would throw a fit. Now we ask if he wants to help us put it away and he does without a fight and then claps...he's so proud of himself :)
He's become so independent now and really a toddler. It scares me how fast he is growing up now and before I know it he will be a little boy...tear :(
