This month we have really seen a blossom of words for Owen. "What are you doing?" and "Where are you going?" are Owen's favorite questions. Trucks and tractors still reign supreme for his interests. He loves his fleet of Tonka trucks that Damon and him will take out in the back yard to play in the mulch around the big trees. We found a sand volleyball court just a short drive away that will work well once it drys out. We went to Philly at the beginning of the month and his favorite part was the Franklin Institute and seeing all the trains and getting to climb around in the brain neuron exhibit. Definitely an excellent museum for kids. Later in the month we went for our final long trip pre-baby to a ski resort place down in Virginia. Owen's favorite part hands down was the indoor water park. He loved going down the big slides. Damon would take him up to the top and then I would catch him at the bottom. The first few times he did not seem to be a fan, but then he would want to go up again and again. We stayed there all day and that night he slept wonderfully. We tried to get him to play with some skis, but no dice there. He was more interested in stabbing the snow with Damon's ski pole. So, that day Owen and I drove down to a nearby National Park so I could get a stamp and he could have some rest time in his car seat. The other major adjustment is that we got Owen into a twin size bed. We had to get several parts and pieces to have it actually work as a bed, but amazingly it all came together within a few days. He is using my twin bed which was also used by my mother at her grandmother's house back in the day. A multi-generational bed. Owen has no idea what is coming at the end of March. We do have a baby doll hanging around that he will give kisses and be "nice" so that's progress. We had to retire our faithful tv as Owen turned it into artwork with his frequent beatings. The new tv has a plexiglass cover mounted to the bookshelf.
