Happy 2011, everyone. Owen turned 21 months old this past Wednesday, but our holiday travel delayed the monthly update. Inevitably, Owen’s new favorite words are “no” and “mine.” On the more positive side, he knows “helicopter” and recites the names of his classmates.

We have regressed with weaning him from his binky due to a terrible stretch of teething caused by his molars. Surely we will get him off the binky before he heads to college.

Owen will turn 20 months old tomorrow. He has so many new favorite words this month it is hard to keep count. The more advanced words are “ambulance” and “Alicia” (one of his teachers).

Owen turned 19 months old on Friday. His new favorite words are “vitamin” and “car.” For Halloween, Owen was Gordon Gekko since money never sleeps. This month’s pictures are of him in his costume.

Owen will reach the halfway point of his second year on Wednesday. He has become very talkative and eats like a horse. His new favorite words are “airplane” and “Ne Ne” which is what he and his cousin call their granny.

Owen is 17 months old today. His new favorite word is ‘apple.’ It is usually the first thing he says in the morning. Sometimes he really wants an apple, most times he just wants a round piece of fruit (apricot, nectarine, plum, etc.) He has also started saying ‘mine’ and having small tantrums. Terrible twos are starting a little early. Yay!
