Owen's Spoon

Owen is becoming more independent every day...and quite willful, if I may say so. (Heidi and I are wondering where that came from...neither of us is certainly willful.) He has learned how to use a spoon, and he enjoys it very much. It's very cute to see him scoop a couple of Cheerios into his spoon and carefully lift them to his mouth and dump them in. He loves using his spoon so much, in fact, that he will go to the silverware drawer, open it up, and grab a spoon, just so he can carry it around the house like a toy. It's really funny to watch, and he's so proud of it. On the other hand, Heidi and I are pleased to see he's so easily amused. He also is really smart; his fine motor skills are very impressive. And those words are slowly coming more and more frequently. He says, "Night, night" and "Dada" fairly regularly, and "Mama" and "more" on occasion.

Back to a fine day of watching some excellent 80s movies. I just finished Weird Science and now the original Back To The Future is on. Watching these is like stepping through a portal back in time...if you'll pardon the pun on that last movie.

Thanks for reading along.
