odds and ends

-As you can see in this picture, one of Owen's eating habits is to separate his food. He likes to place whatever he is going to eat last in the cup holder and what he's going to eat first on the larger part of the tray (usually the fruit.) His drink usually ends up on the floor.

-Owen has also became quite the little mimic. Lately when we put something in the oven or if the timer goes off, he will go get a pot holder and either stand looking into the oven or hand the pot holder to us to get the food out of the oven.

-When he notices food being hot or if we say something is hot, he fans his hand in front of his mouth and blows on whatever he's eating.

-In just the past few days we have noticed him getting toilet paper off the roll and pretending to blow his nose. He holds the tp to his nose and blows raspberries with his mouth. I imagine to him this is what we sound like. Too funny.

-After we brush his teeth, we'll let him chew on the toothbrush and play with the toothpaste. He pretends like he's putting toothpaste on the toothbrush by sliding the brush across the top of the tube (cap on) and then puts the brush in his mouth.

-Owen has also become a good little helper. He likes to help clean-up his toys. If you ask him to put his shapes back into the bucket, he'll get every little piece and put them away. If he sees us putting his other toys in the bin, he'll also start doing the same. He has even started doing this at Kindermusik. He likes to put the instruments away as the teacher passes them out. I imagine she would like for us to play them first.

-Lately, he has developed a bit of stranger anxiety where he will cling to Danny or myself. He sticks his head between our legs and holds on tight.. This occurs usually just after a nap.

He is finally cutting all 4 molars. Poor little guy wakes up crying all during the night.
