Well, it seems a little odd that in this house the shutter has not been clicking like mad. We've been taking some time off... we've decided to live in the moment, and not see Owen's life from behind the camera, but instead in real time.
(Actually - that's all a bunch of B.S. We just haven't been lugging the camera all around with us everywhere we go. But we had you going for a second, eh?)
We do have some new video to upload, but we'll get to that later....
In the last couple of weeks we've been up to all kinds of mayhem. We've been to the local community center for indoor play-park (it has been raining cats and dogs here lately) and a music class, been making it to the library for story time, and of course all the boring errands and running around that we tend to do.
But as usual, The Dude takes it all in stride. He flirts with the cashier, he laughs when he hears someone in the room laugh (regardless if they are laughing at or near him), he is patient when kids take his toys from him, and he is calm when the Obnoxious Kid grabs and squeezes his face. The Dude abides.
He brings us his favorite books and we read them over and over and over. He can tell us what the chicken, rooster, cow, sheep and monkey say (proof coming soon!). And his vocabulary is ever expanding. Just this week he's begun to do what we ask... Like "Owen, can you please close that cabinet door?" or "Can you help us feed Penny?" (he'll go into the cabinet where her food is and pull out the bin of food). It's a sure indication that he understands what we are saying. Pretty cool.
Sleep? Well, without jinxing ourselves, let's just say that it's going pretty good. Night sleep is great, but napping is a different story. He's got an internal clock that goes off after exactly 20 minutes of snoozing.... exactly. Every time. It's weird.
Stay tuned for videos!

And, he loves to chase Nora, run from Nonna and then fall on the floor and roll around inviting me to tickle and kiss him, play ball and he really knows how to throw the ball. He looks you in the eye and is joyful simply interacting. He is so great and sweet and beautiful. Oh how I love him.
