15 months old


This week Owen went to the doctor for his 15 month doc appointment. He weighs 23 pounds and 12 ounces which is the 40th% for his age. He is 32 1/4 inches long which falls between the 75th and 90th% for his age. He got two shots and took it like a champ. He only cried for less than one minute. Hopefully he will stay healthy over the summer and we won't have to visit the pediatrician again until he is 18 months old.

We spent a lot of time this week playing outside. I don't think he remembers playing outside much last year. It is so fun to see the world through his eyes. He wants to touch and explore everything outside. He is amazed by the flowers. I kept telling him to be gentle with the tulips, but I don't think gentle is exactly a word in his vocabuary yet. He liked them so much he wanted to squeeze them and pull off petals. When he wakes up from naps he walks straight to the back door and points to go outside.

I also let Owen finger paint for the first time this week. He liked it, but got mad at me because I wouldn't continue putting more and more paint on the paper.

We went to Deanna Rose Farm this week with some of our neighbors. Owen loved it! We saw goats, fish, cows, eagles, sheep, horses ect. I bought his some goat food to feed the goats. He was not sure about sharing the food with the goats. He preferred to throw the pieces of food through the fence. After he was out of food he saw some on the ground and was fighting a goat to see who could get the food first!

Easter

Blowing bubbles with cousin Addison


Brynn, Owen and Jenna








The best family photo we got. It was sooo sunny!

We spent Easter weekend in St. Louis. Once again it was a difficult "vacation" because Owen only likes to sleep in his bed. He was a bit crabby after shortening his night sleep by about 2 hours per night and barely napping during the day. The Easter bunny brought Owen some finger paints and books in his Easter basket.

We went to my aunt and uncle's house for Easter lunch. Owen had a good time there playing with his cousins and having an Easter egg hunt. He did not quite get the idea of the egg hunt. He would put the eggs in his basket, but then take them back out and put them in one of the other kids baskets. Who knew a toddler could be so good at sharing!

In the evening we went to Jeff's Granny's house for Easter dinner with his family. Owen also had fun playing outside and blowing bubbles with his cousins there.
