Yes, you read the title right, my sweet baby boy is 17 MONTHS as of the first! I cannot believe how fast the time has passed! I love him a little more everyday! I don't know what I did to deserve such a precious little boy, but I thank God for choosing Matt to be my husband and Owen to be my baby every single day. I am blessed!
Owen's BIG accomplishment this month is WALKING! We finally did it at 17 months. I am so proud of him. Note the two bruises on his cheeks. He is officially a rough and tough boy. He is a daredevil. Here he is standing in the rocking chair during his photoshoot.
What is going on with Owen at 17 months?
He weighs about 21.5 lbs.
He still only has 6 teeth, but he is currently cutting 5! Bless his heart!
His favorite foods are blueberries, grapes, ham, bacon, ranch dressing, and M & Ms.
He dislikes carrots, tomatoes, and cake. (yes, cake?)
Owen sleeps through the night for the most part. I love when he wakes up at 3 or 4 and I can get in some sweet cuddles before we have to wake up. He usually falls asleep between 7 and 8. He falls asleep on my chest every night, and I carry him to the bed when Matt and I are ready to go to sleep.
He takes a 2-3 hour nap after lunch.
He can count to 3.
He is working on learning to spell his name. He just forgets the W. W is a hard letter.
Owen is also working on his colors. He can say all of his color words, but only recognizes blue and green.
He can say ANYTHING. He is talking in 3-4 word sentences from time to time.
Owen knows all of his body parts. Even the hard ones like tongue and elbow. :)
He knows all of his animals and animal sounds.
Separation Anxiety is the worst it has ever been. He even has to be in the bathroom with me when I take a shower.
If you ask him how much Mommy loves him he points to the sky and says "to the moon".
Owen's favorite shows are Mickey Mouse Club House, Chuggington, and the Balloon House.
His favorite things to say are "No, No, No Dog" (while pointing his finger), and "Bye Bye Poo Poo". (all boy!) He says these phrases at least 20 times a day. ;)
Owen's favorite songs are "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" and "Taking Home my Baby Bumble Bee".
Owen's favorite books are "No Go Sleep", "Bubbles, Bubbles, Bubbles", The "Oh, David" board book collection, and "Good Night Moon".
Now that Owen is talking we have had a few embarrassing moments. Yesterday, while at the park he saw an Arabic lady who had her face and head covered. She came to say hello to him and he said NO NO NO....SCARRRY!
Some of Owen's favorite things are Elmo, throwing things (food, balls, puzzle pieces..you name it), coloring, painting, going to the park, and going to the library.
He really loves this tunnel at the park!
Owen's favorite parts of story time at the library is when he gets to play with musical instruments, dance with scarves, and do the "Bean Bag Rock".
Owen also loves to make silly faces. When you tell him to "make a silly face" this is what he does, and he thinks it is HILARIOUS!
Here are a couple more cute pictures from our photo shoot!
