Owen has developed a new little habit. Whenever he can he likes to climb up on the table and play with whatever objects might be there. I guess a plastic cup is funner to play with when you're on the table as opposed to being on the floor.
He thinks it is quite funny when he climbs up on the table. He is quite proud of himself for learning this new trick. He also loves to copy his Dad. Any little gesture, noise, facial expression or body movement Dad makes, Owen has to copy. We noticed this one night at the dinner table. Mommy and Dad were talking and Dad put his hands behind his head and rested them up against the wall. Within seconds, Owen was doing the same thing. Whenever Dad yells at the TV while watching football or the Jazz, Owen does the same thing (only it is the Owen version).
And of course he just loves to run around the house playing. The more toys and stuff he can scatter about, the better. He likes to hold Dad's hand and walk down the stairs now, instead of being carried. He also closes the gate at the bottom of the steps as well. When you say the phrase, "Change your diaper" he immediately runs off looking for a place to hide. Diaper changing means two or three minutes where he doesn't get to play. Owen is really good about going to sleep. Though sometimes we'll put him to bed, and then we'll hear him upstairs in his crib talkng to himself or making fart noises (he thinks that's funny too).
