At 20 months Owen:

  • Realizes that mommy and daddy are not fooling around with this "Feet are not for kicking" and "Hands are not for hitting" thing.
  • Can put puzzles together
  • Knows what the alphabet is
  • Can do high-five and fist bump
  • Can hop like a bunny
  • Can find the right key, insert it into the mailbox and get most of the mail out. Still working on closing the mailbox.
  • Thinks every green vehicle is the Jeep and every gray vehicle is the Passat.
  • Loves to look outside and point at the birds and squirrels
  • Knows the sounds of pigs, dogs, cows, eggs (CRACK), horses, trucks, cats and birds.
  • Can open doors (great)
  • Can lock the bathroom door (even better)
  • Can use a screwdriver
  • Doesn't like to leave daycare (especially when he's in the preschool room)
  • Still takes an hour nap in the afternoon
  • Loves Elmo
  • Sleeps on a cot at school
  • Is still content with the crib at home
  • Likes to lay on his sleeping bag during the weekend and say "nigh nigh"
  • Enjoys taking the broom out and sweep the kitchen
  • Is taking interest in using the toilet
  • Enjoys going swimming on most Sunday nights
  • Gives great hugs
  • Really gets into saying "bye bye". Sometimes several minutes after we've left even.
  • Thinks his parents are the greatest

Owen was concerned when he realized that Blue Bear was not gaining as much weight as he was. Maybe a good meal will get him back on track.
Owen loves to catch his "Stories" with Mommy while enjoying a nice cold milk

Owen is a big help around the yard. Just a few more years and he can mow lawn too.
