Owen ~ 11 Months Old

Owen is already 11 months old. It is hard ot belive that next month he will be one year old. For the past several weeks he has been sick so as a result he is soooo sunggly and clingy. He wants to be held all the time and he loves to cuddle. He is still our sweet little boy, but is beginning to vocalize a bit when he is unhappy about something :) I managed to get several good pictures of him so I am posting them all. He is such a cutie I could not decide which ones to put on so you get them all :)


* He weighs 21 pounds 12 ounces. This is only 2 ounces more than he weighed when he was 8 months old (21lbs 10oz). I think this is because he is always on the move and is beginning to really taper off of his eating.
* He still drinks 3 bottles per day.


* He took his first trip to the zoo. It was the Woodland Park Zoo. He loved to watch the birds and animals that moved around.
* He goes to bed at 8 and wakes up around 7. Usually he has a bottle about 4am as well.

* Has no new teeth, but it apears as though he is beginning to cut some molars.
* He will eat pretty much anything we give him to try. 

* He can now spoon feed himself if we help him get the food on the spoon. Pretty messy, but he likes it.

* He takes two naps a day. One in the morning from 10-12 and another in the afternoon from 2-4.

* His absolutly favorite things to play with are ......Ellie's toys. It works both ways too....she likes his toys :) He really enjoys playing with Ellie's kitchen stuff.

* He still has a pacifier. We try to only give it to him for naps or when he is really upset or sick. It will soon be going bye bye :(

* He loves to cuddle with his crocheted afghan.
* He can cruise around the house holding on to furniture. He will also let go and stand independently.

* He enjoys being outside and taking walks.
* Bath time each night is his favorite. he loves to play in the water and also to lay back in the water and just relax.

* He mostly wears size 12-18 month clothes and is still enjoying his cloth diapers :).

Jennifer - I like the Owen W. photos. Good color coordination with the clothing. Probably his best! Notes: Photos that "stuck out" to me,in descending order.#3The personality & life in his eyes & smile. #4 the smile of anticipation shows in his expression.#6 (w/bear) - Reminded me of a late 19th Century (photo) expression of a "gentleman" with a Winchester on his lap! Thank you.
