Ok, remember when I referred to Owen as fearless? We've learned a few new things about Owen in the last few months:
1) Owen is scared of cookie monster. When cookie monster goes crazy and actually eats the cookie with the intensity of a lioness bringing down a gazelle Owen gets a little freaked out and starts to cry.
2) Owen does NOT like big turbulence on an airplane. When we were on our approach into Kona, our plane did an exciting "drop" that Owen did not like one bit. I can't really blame him for that though because when it happened the lady next to me grabbed my arm and yelped a little bit. (Who knew that I would be the "strong" one in that situation?)
Owen still puts EVERYTHING in his mouth - sand, dirt, rocks, chalk...he does know better now though. When I catch him doing it, he immediately spits out what's in there and sticks out his tongue to prove it.
Bed time is tricky right now. He doesn't go down quietly, but I now let him cry for up to 15 minutes and he usually falls asleep in that amount of time.
He still loves to eat and will eat most things we put in front of him.
He's as active as his brother and can hold his own just fine in the Capron Smackdowns.
His drop offs at Kindercare are just fine and we've gotten to the point where I can open the door to his classroom and he'll just walk right in and start playing. I really really hope this lasts - leaving a distraught child at school is awful.
He's still mostly babbling, but does say mama and baba (bottle).
Owen is super snuggly and a smiley little person to have around.

When Owen falls asleep in your lap, it is the closest thing to heaven on earth.
Love ya little guy, GeGe
Another quick update on Owen. We spent Saturday with the Ziglers down at the beach (Leslie post to follow). I, of course, brought my surfboard and after catching a few paddled in to play with the boys.
Owen was VERY interested in the surfboard, so I walked out with him to where it was about waist deep, laid him down on the board and pushed him into a little, rolling white-water wave. The board took off and Owen rode it all the way in on his belly - grinning ear to ear the whole way.
When I pulled him off to give Andrew a turn, little Owen just burst into tears so we turned around, paddled back out and he proceeded to glide in on another 10 waves.
Not bad for a first day of surfing :)
Grandma B always says each one finds their own way. They are all delightfully different. Love, Grandma Peters
