September 2018

The biggest family news for September is that Owen and Milton's new girl cousin was born on September 18th.  We went over to give Rory his birthday present (the 29th) and Owen didn't even notice the new baby.  The toys are far more interesting. Owen and Milton love playing with playdoh.  Owen always wants me to make a truck for him and then he goes around with it playing with his truck. Both the kids did great getting their hair cut this month.  Owen giggled and said "it tickles".  Milton even went up in the chair by himself.

Owen is getting dressed on his own for the most part.  It does involve significant reminding for him to stay on task.  His manor of removing his clothes is fascinating.  Who wants do to things the easy way? Owen's teacher has a letter per week and then on Monday they all get little worksheets to take home to practice.  Owen is getting the hang of the letters. Our neighbor across the parking lot had a birthday party that Owen was invited to held at Cabin John Park with the train station.  The kids didn't get to go on the train because it was raining, but they got to sit on it still in the garage.  Owen's favorite part was the magician who was incredibly awful, but Owen thought it was the coolest thing ever.

Milton is still rocking out at eating anything and everything.  He moves around wonderfully and his walking is very smooth.  His stair skills are my favorite though. Milton loves to take showers instead of a bath.  He likes to just stand under the stream of water or push his hippo figurine around the tile ledge in the doorway. He is a very happy little guy.  Still not much to say other than mama and the occasional dada.
