Adventures with Owen and Avery: October 2010

What a busy 2 months. I can't believe that it has been that long since I have updated Owen's blog. Since my last update Owen has started a new daycare center. He seems to like it there, but has trouble napping as it is pretty noisy. With 11 other little ones there, he has a lot of babies to play with, but I'm sure you can imagine the noise level in that room. There is always someone that needs something and expresses that need by crying, screaming, etc. There are usually 4 care givers in the room, so there are lots of hands to help and to play with. We've been pretty happy with it so far.

While we have been working with Owen to teach him to roll from his tummy to back (has has mastered from back to tummy) and to sit up, he has learned a new skill that we wish we could change. He has discovered that it is fun to make a high pitched screaming noise...for hours on end. He screams when he's happy, he screams when he's mad, and he even screams when he's bored. The neighbors probably think that we beat him. His scream always results in his desired effect...we pay attention to him. Is 6 months to young for planned ignoring...probably. Guess I'll buy some ear plugs for now.

Owen is very excited for Halloween. We tested out his costume last weekend and he thought it was pretty funny. He loves Riggins so much that we thought he might like to dress up like her. Thanks for the costume Angela!
