Owen Update

We have a walker!! Owen took his first steps a couple of weeks ago and has been perfecting his technique ever since. He prefers walking over crawling and will crawl to the nearest object to pull himself up. We love watching the pride on his face as he walks towards us. Of course, with his new found skill, we are entering the bumps and bruises phase of life with a baby. It doesn't help having older siblings who chase after him or come running around corners and take him out. Owen has also cut another tooth bringing his total up to 7 and is working on two molars. He is waving bye-bye and says ba ba for bye-bye and for baby. He signs "more" and "all done" and has mastered the art of shaking his head no!! Owen loves clapping and is realizing that he can make us laugh. Tonight he entertained us with a new dance and just kept going because of our reaction. He is still horribly attached to me but when I think of Alex finishing up his first year of school in just a couple of weeks, I relish it and know that it will all go by too quickly!
