Sword fighting with gram!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLfUewCcTB4
Still loving the bowling pins…now as swords instead of soldiers!
Walk with papa and driving the police car!
Geting ready to head out on a walk with papa:
Back from a successful golf ball hunt/walk:
And finally driving the police car!! YAY! Unfortuately, he refuses to steer!
And then we finally got him steering! Somewhat. 🙂
A new game! Score!
Gramma taught Owen a new game when getting undressed!
SPINNING!
Book at bedtime
“Look at all the cars…” (which he says every time we turn a page, since it’s a Where’s Waldo-type book)… and then “Good night daddy, I love you” (with some prompting).

Message for daddy
Owen being his funny self in the mirror!
Numbers and puddles!
So it was really nice out and we were out playing when Owen told me he wanted to go for a walk…so off we went towards the golf course (carrying two motorcycles the whole way!). Once there, he wasn’t content to play on the green like we normally do, but rather he wanted to walk down the golf cart trail, which was fine with me. Then we happened upon these numbers (which we’d never seen before since we never walked that far).
Me: /on a lark/ Owen, what’s that number?
Owen: One hundred.
Me: /floored/

After we finished that walk, he discovered the mud puddles from the overnight rain. He had a blast jumping in them…
And then it was “mama splash…mama puddle” and how can you refuse that cute little voice?

Then he started splashing with his hands…
And he ended up looking like this…

Excuse you, whale!
Funny face pirate
Police car!
He was out playing and I had the garage open doing stuff in there and he saw the police car…and of course wanted to play with it. I had to dig it out (it was literally buried behind and under stuff) and he loved it!

He still won’t drive it, though he did actually hit the gas pedal a little and knows it moves!
Playing with his shadow!
Watching himself…and dad comes home!
We’re going to mars!

He loves his Backyardigans. This is from the Mars episode.
(And as he’s watching me post this two weeks later, he started singing it again!)
Counting
Shake the baby!
Jump kick with the dragon!

Owen is a great road tripper, but he was finally getting a little restless around Raleigh, so we decided to stop at a local park we’d been to before. He had a blast running around on the play ground, and then went over to run around the dragon (which was closed the last time we were there). He had watched an older girl jump up and kick the dragon, so he was attempting to do the same…
Faster! Faster!
Oh, the energy…
A new game with grandpa!
Pillow attack!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBboVszIR5M
He LOVES this and hands us pillows so we’ll attack him!
Current helicopter pronunciation
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zG5x59b3r7c
This is how he currently pronounces helicopter—approximately helicop(t)opter. Mom and I couldn’t stop laughing.
Jumping and a clue!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsFLtUNBkhw
He pulled all the pet beds from around the first floor and layed them all out in a row, then started jumping. When we’re talking about a clue, that’s from Blue’s Clues (a current favorite show), where blue paw prints signify a clue.
Dalmation is in a cage!
Golf ball at the golf course!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8M6Bnr4kV9g
We were on our daily walk to the golf course but had to step off the green to let actual golfers play through. They took an interest in Owen and asked if he’d like a golf ball. Well, you know him, he can talk up a storm if he’s in the mood, but heaven forbid a stranger ask him a question. 🙂 So I took his hand and walked him over and he took the ball and off he went. And wow did he have a blast—throwing it and chasing after it. Lather, rinse, repeat.
Under! Under! Under!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xm1U9YrIFQ0
He loves getting under the covers and then using the iPad under there. He wiggles and squirms so much that he totally messes up all the covers on the bed. But dang it’s cute.
Bath and post bath
Little boy car noises
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Je2GtJoLt0o
Is this just a little boy thing? He just started making these noises on his own!
I told him a toy wasn’t his.

Quite some time ago, I bought a duplicate Cars Mack Hauler in case something happened to his. Well, he found it in a box in the garage—and needless to say he wanted it…and was a little upset when he couldn’t have it. The whining had already been going on for a minute or so before I started recording.
