Owen growing up

Fisher Price has a brand of toy out for ages 3-6 (I think), called Imaginext. It is really cool stuff and has all the themes that a boy would like — fire house, spaceship, pirate ship, Batman’s bat cave. For Christmas Owen got the spaceship and Brandon got the fire house. They love playing with both sets very much, the space men and fire men’s coats come on and off and there are all kinds of buttons to push for sounds and actions. Owen was playing with the spaceship one evening….3…2…1…blast off!

It seems hard to remember Owen as a baby or learning to crawl or learning to walk. He is such a big boy these days, helping with everything and doing so much on his own. I will say, Owen reminds Mommy of his Uncle Derek a lot these days, from the stick straight hair and goofy faces, to the way he never looks like he is paying attention to what you are saying to him but then can repeat exactly what was said to him, to the caring, quiet boy who will hold Brandon’s hand when he is scared or crying.
