being Owen

Owen has really developed a personality. And he's been such a ham lately. The other morning as I got his breakfast ready he just sat in his chair laughing and acting completely silly. I had to grab my camera.
As I snapped pics, I thought of this post about Lucy (6 mos, 14 mos, 20 mos):
Owen is just her age right now, 20 months. And though they have their own look, they're definitely siblings:
As well as a spunky personality, Owen's developed an opinion too. He often stamps his feet down and straightens his arms, with a grunt, out of frustration. It's pretty funny to watch. And when he's completely out of control, he gets a time out (which is also funny and cute). It's only 30 seconds long. He just sits there quietly. And it works great because he comes out of it smiling and ready to play. I think he's always wondered why Lucy was been sitting at the back door against the wall for a few minutes (having her own time-out). So maybe he was excited to have his turn. You funny boy.
Owen loves to play and act silly. He loves books. He loves to be outside, riding his green bike. He wants to do everything Lucy's doing.
Sometimes he'll walk up to me and with a certain whine....I know that all he wants is to be held for a moment. So I pick him up. He lays his head down on my shoulder, gets some love, and then he's off again. What a cuddly boy. It really is sweet.
I love his blonde/white hair:
and his round little head:
And I love his many faces. Lucy calls this his scary face and she laughs every time she sees it on the computer:
Mostly though, he's just my sweet little boy. How I love you Owen.

When Owen gets older he will love looking at all the photos you took of him, but I think he will be really touched by your words. You are a super mom.

He is so cute! I see so much Willard in his, and Lucy is all you! Some of those pictures of Owen even remind me of Levi- I think it's the smile.

Oh, Dana. Your kids are just adorable! It's been way too long since we've seen you guys! Your mom mentioned that Mya reminded her of Lucy, and for some reason Owen totally reminds me of Eli in these pictures. Seriously, they're such cute kids!

such a cute kid. I love all of his different expressions! And he seems so old! I don't know why, since him and Makenna are only a few months apart, but I still picture him barely learning to crawl. He is a total toddler though!
