Owen turned 18 months on Monday! He's doing so many new things, and he adds new words to his vocabulary everyday now. The past few days he's started to count to three, tells the dog to sit (and says good girl!), and can climb up on the couch now. He loves to eat cheese and raisins are another favorite. He's also started to cuddle a lot more, which I love! He gives lots of hugs and kisses. I'm so glad that the weather is nicer and we can finally go play outside and go for walks again. We were getting cabin fever! Here are some pictures from today and some other pictures too (today's are at the end).

Ready for Mardi Gras!

This is our attempt at a family Christmas photo. Someone had the wiggles!

Catch a doggy by her tail!



















Walking, walking walking! Owen took his first steps back on September 10, but he is really walking a lot more now. It's fun to watch him. He still walks a bit like Frankenstein at this point with his arms out in front of him.

Happy Halloween!

Owen had a great time at the pumpkin farm on Saturday.

He loved watching the tractor pull us on the hayride

Party Pictures

We gave Owen a cupcake on his birthday Tuesday. He played with it, smeared it around, but he refused to eat any of it. We'll see if he eats any of his cake at his party tomorrow.
