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 :(
