September - A big month for Owen

Rugrat mom is a total blog slacker - sorry if anyone is still reading. I've had to (temporarily?) return to my world traveling ways for work. Still love the travel but definitely miss the little Owen when I'm away. Matt too but he doesn't grow much when I'm gone! Just back from a 10 day trip to Japan and head off for a week in Europe next week so I'll have to cover one month in one post!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY little O!!! He made it - we made it- we all survived the first year and they say that one is the hardest right??? Luckily little guy had 2 parties, got lots of great gifts and wasn't a big fan of birthday hats or cake but loved birthday balloons and being pushed in his new swing.

Other notables in September. He finally learned how to pronounce M sounds. Mama is now spoken after months of Daaaadaadeeeda - still not sure he knows who Mama is but we're getting there. Owen was dedicated at our church on September 12. They had a very nice service for all the babies. What a great gift from God he is!
Owen stopped hitting any babies that came near so he was actually allowed to sit with his little cousin Marrett.
He learned to give dirty looks when we tell him its time to get out of the bath
He learned to relax (for a few seconds at least) in his recliner. Now he's ready to watch some football with DaDa! He was home sick one day from daycare and got to watch sesame st. for the first time. He loves to do the wiggle dance to any music. I'll have to get video of that soon.

And finally the other BIG NEWS - See what Owen did for the first time tonight (you'll have to turn your head!)

Until next month...rugrat mom, signing out!
