Ok--before I completely lose my blogging friends, I should update! I know, I know...there is nothing more annoying than going to check the Gerber blog to get the latest and greatest on Owen (and I suppose his 'rents), to find that nothing has changed...same old pictures...the same ones that were there the last time you cruised.
With that said, I'll just give you the news! Owen is now a champ at walking! And, a champ at falling! :) He got his first major road rash this past week (under the "watchful" care of Daddy)! I know---things happen before you even know it! He tripped off of our sidewalk into our beautiful lava rock mulch! Seriously, I know everyone in CO (being the oh, so arid climate it is) loves landscaping with lava rock, but probably hasn't taken into much consideration of what happens when you fall face first in it! Poor little guys looked like he was battered, beaten, and bruised! Major scrape on the right side of his face...forehead, nose, eye, cheek...bad news bears!
However, he's a little trooper and is healing nicely!
He will repeat most things you do, say...and eat! What a mimic! He knows all of his body parts, and can make all the animal sounds (including: owl, monkey, snake, lion, elephant). His favorite past time has been to have me put him in our big arm chair and then he "reads" books to himself. Seriously, he was sitting looking at this one book for over 20 minutes last week! It was great! He would babble, turn the pages, and then make faces that correspond with the faces in the book. Very, very sweet.
Ding dong--we really need a camera!
We'll see what we can do! Hopefully it'll be sooner than later!
Owen and I are flying to OH this Tuesday through Halloween! I am dropping him off with my mom, aunts, and g-ma, and then driving to Canada for Mennonite Publishing Network Board of Director meetings. I'll miss the little guy, but I know he'll have a great time on the farm! (And I won't lie...I'll love the extra time too...maybe I'll even get a chance to read myself! Fancy that!)
Alright...hopefully next time, won't take me as long to update and perhaps we'll get a picture or two on from our trip!

A Year In Review
August 29, 2006
Month 1
Month 2
Month 3
Month 4
Month 5
Wow--where has the year gone? I can hardly believe that our little man has grown up so fast. In an amazing way, you sort of forget how they grow and change so quickly....especially as you see where they started to where they are now. Looking back at the pictures of Owen each month, is fun to see not only how he has developed, but also how we, as parents, have adapted as well!
Big news: Owen has started walking as of last week--which is pretty incredible! Ok, so he still bears a strong resemblence to Frankenstein, but he is alas, up on 2 feet!
