Owen - 12 months

Eatin' Cheerios!

Goof!

SO Big!

You can pull yourself up to a standing position on anything. You walk along furniture, and just recently learned how to walk across the room with your walker. You haven't figured out the dismount yet so once you tire of standing or walking you squeal as loud as possible until someone helps you sit down.

Uh oh, Dada, Daddy & Hiiii are words we hear from you all day long. When we say"Yay!" you get so excited and clap. You pull yourself up to the tub and turn the spout on, splashing the water all over the floor. Of course you think this is awesome!

You really enjoy brushing your teeth. You could carry your toothbrush around all day brushing your teeth while playing.

You and Sydney have SO much fun together. I love watching you laugh and play together and am so happy the two of you have each other. The age & gender difference doesn't seem to exist between you two.

You enjoy eating baby purees, Cheerios, and sharing bits of our food. Last week you saw sissy eating yogurt in the back of the car and screamed until she shared with you. Now every morning when you see her open a container of yogurt you insist on her sharing with you. Thankfully she loves you tons and is more than willing to appease you. You're still nursing, but doing it less and less. We've been trying to get you to drink from a sippy cup or bottle more often, but it only seems to work when mommy's not around.
