bye bye baby!

I've been meaning to do this post for a while now, but just haven't. I want to document these latest happening of our baby who is really just a tiny kid now! Owen absolutely LOVES brushing his teeth! It doesn't matter whose tooth brush he finds...to him it's his!
He no longer has his binky! This was a bitter sweet moment for me! I thought it was going to be really hard to get him off of it, so I was dreading it! In the end it wasn't a fight at all. Three out of four of my kids have taken binkies and we've gotten them off them all the same way. Wait til they have a cold and can't breath with the binky in their mouth. They don't even miss it! Though I'm grateful it was easy, it's just one more thing that confirms he's no longer a baby! :(

He loves listening to my ipod. It's so cute...he loves to dance to the music.

Hates his high chair...loves the bar stool. He's only fallen off once and that's cause he tried to get down by himself.

This is his favorite past time yet...dumping out an entire box of cereal, running to the middle of it, sitting down, and frantically spreading it with his hands. Such a messy waste, but pretty funny! I've had to threaten my other kids that if they leave the pantry open they will have to buy a new box of cereal. It's happened too many times!
I don't have a picture of this yet...but Owen could live outside if I let him! He LOVES to be outside and screams when he has to come in. If any of you have heard Owen's scream...you know it's not to be trifled with! There are serious consequences for making Owen scream!
I love that my baby is getting bigger and becoming such a cute little indepedent boy, but it also makes me sad that baby phase is over. We just love this little guy!!!

So cute! I can't believe how big he is. I'm in denial that your kids are getting older!

Sounds like you guys are ready for another one... ;). SO stinkin' cute! He really is growing super fast, it's crazy! I'm sorry I haven't commented on like any of your posts lately, but I have been reading them just so you know. :)
