owen will be 2 in 2 weeks. he's too little to be 2! he says "get up!" and "come on!" he says "dinosaur?" and pretends to shoot them away. he points at his justice league shirt and says "batman!" or "plash!" (flash). he will always tell you if there is a picture, toy, poster, or anything else with batman on it. or spiderman. or superman. or megaman. or sonic. he loves them all. he makes silly faces and continues to tilt his head when photographed. because he's speaking more clearly, it's much easier for owen to play with his kuyas. however, because he can't always articulate his needs or wants, he often hits his brothers. mostly ethan with whatever action figure happens to be in owen's little hand. poor ethan.

eric puts the little boys down to sleep every night, and my favorite is when owen asks for a book then nuzzles on eric's shoulder so that daddy can read to him. owen LOVES his daddy.

i've been able to spend more one on one time with owen, and for that i am grateful. the other day, owen was just staring out our back window into the park showing me all the squirrels. so the entire morning, we sat on our couch looking for squirrels in the park.

he continues to cuddle with all soft toys. i caught him cuddling with xavier's turtle teether today. at least he's not picky!
