hmm, who to follow? Mama or big sis? Mama or big sis? Mama still wins much of the time, but Teresa is more often finding a small shadow trailing her!

Birthdays and Christmas are past. Owen is the envy of his sister. It seems all the toys for one-year olds are cool in the eyes of three-year olds. Gear toy, walk/ride tractor toy, locomotive ball toy.

Owen's walking skills are more tempered than big sis' progress 2 years ago. Now 4 week after his first steps he's content for a handful of steps at a time, though can do 20+ steps in sequence, with purposefully executed turns when pursuing goals -- generally acceptable goals are mama, mama. or maybe mama. heh.

7th tooth! 8th close following.

Peekaboo!

Owen has (rather spontaneously) started playing peekaboo.. I'm not sure if Mom or Teresa taught him, but he loves to engage his audience by covering his eyes and then giving a big smile!

We need more fiber!

In contrast with Teresa, who had really soft poops for *long* time, Owen has always had some nice, firm, easy to dump in the toilet poops. However, recently Owen has been working really hard to get them out... So Doc has prescribed a proscribed diet of meat and fruit: no dairy, no breads. So far, no results, tho..
