It's been a while

The last couple of weeks have just flown by. I was able to go to a women's retreat this last weekend in Ventura and had such a wonderful time. Kyle was on baby duty and the boys had a great weekend together. Owen just adores his daddy. He's so much fun at this age...I can honestly say that about every age so far. He will be 9 months on Saturday. I love my job, but everyday around 3pm I get so excited to go home and see Owen & Kyle.

Enough about me...here are some updates on Owen's growth and development. The boy does not stay still. Even when you hold him he is constantly turning this way and that to see what's going on around him. He loves watching older kids play and is longing for the day when he can chase after them.

Every day Owen is working on his balance and standing alone...we got him a walker...he uses it backwards sometimes which makes me laugh. I keep trying to get a video of him but everytime I pull out the camera that boy notices and stops whatever he is doing and comes after the camera. He loves the electronics.
We went to dinner last night and the lady at the table next to us taught Owen how to sword fight...with chop sticks, of course.

He spends one day a week with Elijah (16 months old) and "Grandma" Norma. The boys are two peas in a pod. Norma says that they play chase and hide & seek together. Owen learns so much from Elijah. I will get a picture of the two of them together. Elijah is such a good natured little guy, he is always looking out for Owen, bringing him toys and walking him to the car when we leave his house.
