Owen's Favorite Pass Time and Other Happenings

My little babe is getting wilder, braver and more coordinated everyday (which makes for a nervous mama). He CLIMBS in and on everything. Up tall chairs to reach the counter top, on the shredder to reach pens on the desk, into drawers (which he first pulls everything out of), on the stove handle so he can reach knobs and buttons and pans (so scary), up the back of the couch so he can sit on the window ledge.  It never ends. I gasp every time he falls and Andy tells me that makes it worse haha. And one of his new favorite places to climb....

...Yep, the dryer. He thinks it's so funny and he's SO fast. I opened it to put clothes in and by the time I had a handful of wet clothing, he was inside. Such a cute little stink. Good thing he also likes to help throw the clothes in.  He's a good little helper. He's an expert at unloading the dishes (clean or not) and loves to wipe up messes off the floor or counter-tops. And the broom is one of his favorite toys.

He is also getting quite coordinated when it comes to dancing. He use to just stomp with one foot (wish I had a video because it was so cute) now he gets both feet moving up and down just as fast as he can go, then spins circles, falls on his face, pushes his head across the floor then stands up and starts again. I'll try to get a video up because it's so entertaining.

In other news, We put our Christmas tree up. Owen loves that there is a tree inside.  It is in our basement so he will go to the top of the stairs, point down and say "TREE". One of the red balls are already shattered! But he actually has been really good to not pull things off or try to knock it over so we are ahead in that area.

 

I started my job which is going well. I think I'll learn a lot. It's been a nice little break to get out of the house and I enjoy Owen so much when I get home (I miss him when I'm gone, and I think he misses me too). Him and dad are becoming great buds, which is nice because now when he wants something he doesn't always come straight to me. Makes it a little easier for me to accomplish things.
