Owen Michael

You are 10 months old today and oh how the time has flown by! You weigh 15 lbs and have been in the zero percentile since you were born. You are very strong for how small you are. You pull yourself up to everything and crawl over just about anything.

You love to be with your dad and will always give him some of your best laughs. You will hold mommy's hand and walk along pretty much by yourself; but, you aren't quite ready to walk by yourself yet which is just fine with mommy. She will hold your hand any day!

You have 5 teeth and they have come in kinda funny. You got your top two that are on the side first. They make you look like a vampire. You then got your bottom front one and then you skipped your other bottom front one and did a side one so you had a cute little gap there too. Then last night I noticed your other bottom front one coming in.

You like to play peek a boo and you even did the hiding the other day. The past week I have noticed you understanding most of what we tell you. I have been teaching you to sign more, food, drink, and all done. You have started signing more and all done. We were playing a game the other day and each time we got done you would quickly sign "more" and we would play again. You have such a fun personality and make us laugh all the time.

You jibber jabber quite a bit and the words you say (without meaning) are dada, mama, hi, bye, a boo (as in peek a boo), mo (more), ba (ball). You mostly say them mimicking us when we say them. You say dada and mama over and over in your regular speech. But, you haven't really said them meaning us yet.

You are really a good little boy and really only cry when you are tired, hungry, or hurt. You sit through sacrament meeting as long as I give you snacks. You LOVE to drink apple juice out of your sippy cup.

You don't have very much hair, but, the hair you do have is very very blonde. You are always on the go and have sooo much energy! With the energy and your teeth we call you our little monster.

You are our little monster and we love you!
