Owen is 11 Months Old

Owen has turned 11 months old on October 15th. He is growing up so fast! He is walking and standing on his own. He is eating everything in sight. He loves his bananas and as soon as he sees one he says nana and starts clapping. He is able to stack items and put things back when asked. He loves looking at books and whenever he has a chance he takes a book an d looks at it. He has discovered that he can push the kitchen chair around the kitchen and work his way out of the corner, it is really funny to watch. He weights 21 lbs. and we are not sure how tall he is. We are so excited to be celebrating his 1st birthday next month!

Hallowboo with Owen's friends

Idelwild was so much fun!!!!

On September 27th, we went to Hallowboo at Idelwild Park with the Reeses' and the Collins. It was so much fun! The boys got to go trick or treating throughout Storybook Forest and see all the nursery rhyme characters dressed in Halloween attire. Sam and Owen rode on the merry-go-round, Sam was not to sure about it and Owen loved it since he was able to ride on the horse on his own (that is after mommy got kicked off it the horse I was riding with Owen).

Owen is getting BIG!!

Owen's First Haircut!

We took Owen to Grammy's work the other day to get his hair cut. He was a good boy! He sat in Daddy's lap and sat pretty still while Grammy was cutting his few long hairs. This was totally a trim, but a FIRST HAIRCUT!

Schmicksburg for the day

Last Saturday we took Owen to Schmicksburg for the day. It was fun! Owen got to see his first pumpkins and one even attacked him (actually he stood up and the stem hit him in the face, he had a little black eye). Eventhough the pumpkin attacked him we still got a cute picture before it happened.

Playing

Owen loves to play with his toys. His learning table is a favorite of his. He likes to stir the soup and dance as the music plays. He pushes the buttons like crazy and has a good time with it. I think that the rolling cylinder is fun for him too. He pushes it around the room like crazy and since it has clear ends he looks through it at the other side of it. It is funny because if we go on the other side and look through it he cracks up. His train table is definitely a favorite toy. He likes to destroy the towns that daddy built.

Helping Mommy and Daddy

Owen is so funny he is starting to get into everything. Last weekend he wanted to help us with the laundry. He was in the washer pulling the clothes out. While the dryer was running he sat in front of it and watched the clothes move. It was too funny! He is already learning to do his share of the work in the house :)

I am 10 months today!

Today Owen is 10 months old. He is really growing to be a big boy. He is crawling like crazy, walking 5-6 steps at a time, standing up on his own, throwing balls, eating all types of solid foods, trying cow's milk, babbling like crazy, waves bye-bye, recognizes people in the mirror--especially himself and playing like crazy. He has 5 teeth right now and the 2 fangs are trying to break through. It is so hard to believe that almost a year ago I was getting ready to give birth to him.

Sleepin at dinnertime

Daddy and Mommy were waiting for the day that Owen would fall asleep while eating his dinner. Well on September 5th, Owen did just that. Owen had beans, bread, pieces of rib and chicken for dinner and about half way through it we looked over and he was out. It was hysterical, he just started to drop his head. He slept in his chair for about 30 minutes, while he would wake up every little bit and begin to feed himself like nothing was wrong. It was too cute! We laugh because he works so hard to feed himself and he wears himself out.

Owen's at the Latrobe Football Game

GO LATROBE WILDCATS!!!!

We enjoy going to the home High School football games. On September 5th, we went to the Latrobe vs. Fox Chapel game. Owen loves to watch the people and everything going on around him. Owen played with Shay (in her cheerleading uniform)--he is already a little charmer. Latrobe did lose the game, but Owen had
lots of fun.
