11 Months + Easter

Owen turned 11 months just before Easter weekend. In this 11th month - Owen quickly went from crawling, to pulling onto his knees, and up onto his feet, and now he even jumps in his crib (while holding onto the rail) - hilarious! Practicing these new skills ended in few spills, resulting in his first bonks & bruises. Oh well, many more to come no doubt. Owen has had 6 teeth since December, and this month he got his 7th – a molar! Ouch! Owen's favorite activities include bubbles, bath time, and playing with balls - his current favorites are colorful whiffle balls. Owen also started playing a simple version of "hide & seek" - where we'll hide behind a chair, etc, and he'll come find us. Such fun to play and be silly with him, and amazing to see him learn that just because he can't see us, he can still find us! He also loves it when we sing - especially "Wheels on the Bus", "BINGO", and "Old McDonald Had a Farm". For months we’ve been doing simple sign language with Owen, and this month he did his first signs! He signed “milk” when ready for his bottle, and signed “more” – although it didn’t seem to apply to anything in particular yet. We're looking forward to month 12...and the countdown to Owen's 1st Birthday!

After sitting so nicely for his pictures, he enjoyed playing with his new cars

A few Easter photos. The majority of the pictures were taken on the grandparents' cameras and we still need to get copies!
