In case you're wondering, we are here. The resort is amazing, now if only the weather would cooperate. It's been pretty rainy, but we're still having a wonderful time. Missing our little boy like crazy, but we know he's in good hands.
We get back on Thursday night. I never thought I'd say this, but I'm actually looking forward to starting potty training when we get back. Fun times!

Owen's growing vocabulary
I've been wondering how many words Owen has been saying, so I sat down and wrote them all out. It is amazing how many words he knows already and he seems to add a new one every day!
Daddy, Mommy (just this week!), up, hot, car, truck, bus, house, light, more, bath, cat, dog, bird, cow, puppy, fish, shoes, socks, flush, tree, keys, cheese, milk, boom, yes, ears, mouth, head
As far as signing goes, so far the signs he knows are: milk, more, hat, finished, sleep, airplane, eat, hot, cereal, bus, car. And of those, he only uses the signs for more, eat, and milk on a regular basis. But I am sticking with it, because I think it's so fun and he likes it too!

Belly button
Owen was in the family room while Sarah Catherine was eating lunch in the highchair and when we looked over he was lifting up his shirt to find his belly button! So funny!

Swimmin' on a Sunday
It was a dreary Sunday here, so after church we decided to take Owen swimming at the Rec center. I decided to sit this one out and play photographer instead. Unfortunately, I made the crucial mistake of forgetting to put the memory card back into the DSLR camera after uploading them to my laptop and thus we were stuck taking pictures with our point-and-shoot.
He hasn't been swimming for about 5 months, but he picked right up where he left off and was splashing up a storm. Ben's eyes loved this.
They practiced backstroke for a few minutes:
Then it was time for Owen to really get his face wet.
You guessed it. I had a mini-heart attack and yelled to Ben that he needed to stay closer to him.
Ben didn't listen to me ~ here's the proof:
But hey, at least they were having fun, right???
Then they did the slide about 10 times. Owen got so brave that Ben would let go of him and he would land under water at the bottom of the slide before Ben would quickly scoop him up. So fun!
In true terrible 2's fashion, we had a mini-tantrum upon pulling Owen away from the pool. However, it was short-lived, thank goodness. We went home to have lunch and a nap and then spent the remainder of the afternoon watching football and relaxing in our pj's. What a nice way to spend a Sunday. :)

Playground tease and first big tantrum
Ben got home from work a little early, so he had the brilliant idea that we should take Owen to the park for some fresh air. We packed up and headed out. Once there we were greeted by a completely empty playground.
We had forgotten Owen's hat and mittens, and I had neglected to bundle him up since we were in a rush to get out the door. So we put up his hood to try to keep his little head warm.
After about 15 minutes we were all freezing (no wonder no one else was there!), so Ben and I made the executive decision to head home. Owen was not very happy about this decision. He reluctantly walked back to the car holding Ben's hand, but the minute we tried to get him into his carseat, the screaming cries started. It was a long 5-minute drive home. The terrible 2's have decided to emerge and we're only at 16 months folks.
Luckily, the second we got home, Owen turned back into our sweet, smiling, happy little boy and began playing with his toys.

Rocknoceros Thursday
Went to see Owen's favorite band this morning. He was a trooper and even though Mommy forgot to pack a snack, he lasted for almost the entire show and played along with the guys ~ we brought his guitar and tamborine. The lead singer, "Coach", even sang to Owen during one of their songs.
