Owen's 2 year stats

Owen had his 2 year check up last week. Fortunately this one didn't come with shots, which he wouldn't have gotten anyways since he ended up having an ear infection. That was a first in this house. The doctor was impressed with his knowledge of colors (he knows all of them) and with his progression of speech. He is right on track where he needs to be now, although we will continue speech until his review next year (I may regret that decision later when he starts talking like Jacob). Other than the ear infection he was great, rather uncooperative due to lack of nap that day though.

Still a big boy.

Happy 2nd Birthday Owen!

The past two years have flown by and now you are 2! You are such a happy but opinionated big boy (or baby if I ask you!). You will say no to everything in an adorable little voice even if it isn't your idea. For someone who was a late talker you sure have caught up and talk almost non stop, even while you are trying to fall asleep or there is no one there to talk to we hear you talking. You love trucks and Mickey and anything your big brother is doing. You are sometimes super shy and reserved, especially if its someone you don't know, but when we are just hanging out at home you are outgoing and loud and all over the place. You call yourself baby and refuse to be called a big boy. You try to tell us knock knock jokes that make no sense  but you crack yourself up. Your laugh is amazing and your cheese face anytime you see the camera is the greatest. You are starting to say people's names and sometimes make up funny names, Grammy is me, Aimee is maymay, Nickie and Mickey are Bickey. But momma hasn't changed since you started saying it (although now it frequently is followed or proceeded by no). You love your big brother so much; my favorite thing to watch is when you just lay on him and hug him and at rest time and bed time when you say nigh nigh baba, lo ou baba. You love being carried and picked up, any way you can be cuddled or close. Cuddling is definitely a favorite and I am convinced that is part of why you still want to nurse, you get good calm cuddle time to help you relax. You tantrums are epic when they happen, and the adorable little pout and crossed arms when you don't get your way is priceless. You are so expressive. I love watching you learn new things and figure things out, you are so proud when you do something new! This has been such an amazing year and I can't wait to see where you go this coming year! Happy Birthday Owen!
