Splash pad and park

We visited a new (to us) splash pad and park that's close to our house this morning.  Owen wasn't so sure about the splash pad, but he liked watching the other kids.  He had a lot of fun playing at the park. He's getting to the age now where I feel like I need to have some kind of activity planned on days that I'm home with him and this was perfect.

 I don't know about this, Mom.

Hmm, those kids seem to be having fun.

This is the most fun I've had all day!

My wonderful husband

I'm always talking about Owen and he IS the most amazing baby ever, but I want to brag a bit on Marcus too.  Tuesday night, after working all day and taking care of Owen while I worked late, he made a delicious dinner that included Mahi-mahi, potatoes, a cucumber tomato salad, and homemade peach ice cream.  He also brought me these.

He is so thoughtful and always makes me feel special.  He works so hard for our family and is a wonderful dad. I'm so thankful for him!

21 Months

Time is continuing to fly by!  I can't believe Owen will be two in three more months.  He's learning so many new things every day. Of course, I have to tell you about his language skills-I'm slightly obsessed... He is using more and more two combinations and just understands so much. He is really into using the possessive "s".  He points to items all around the house and says, "Mama's", "Dada's", and "Owen's". My favorite was when he pointed to bug spray and said "Mama's".  Apparently, I'm the bug killer of our house. He loves to play with his cars and is good about sharing them.  If he wants me to come with him to look at something, he takes my hand and says "walk".  He has started saying "love you" and gives great hugs and kisses.  He makes me so happy every day!!!

 When the pool is out, there is more pouring than swimming, but he loves it!  He looks like a little surfer, so blonde and tan.

He finally got in!
