There was a crazy, back-tumored squirrel stalking us in the park. Here he is playing peek-a-boo with Owen.
One of these things is not like the other... Owen practiced his duck walk to try and blend in, but unfortunately I didn't capture it on camera!
They've got "art you can sit on" installed around town. Owen really enjoyed this metal star.
And in fabulous news, Owen is no longer rejecting food on sight! I don't want to jinx it, but he has happily eaten both meat and vegetables in the last couple of days. Maybe because we've had a blissful reprieve from teething...? Teeth #15 and 16 came through over the weekend. That's it until his 2-year molars come in, and hopefully that won't be for many months. Woohoo! He's like a different kid. (The other theory is another growth spurt.)
Rocking and reading to himself
I finally got him one of these toddler snack dispensers. He absolutely loves it, but is still figuring it out with either snacks flinging out everywhere or his hand getting stuck inside. It's a good diversion, if nothing else.
He's turning into quite the entertainer, too. The other day he slipped in the tub with a big splash, and being such good parents, we burst out laughing. (Don't worry he was fine, just startled.) He liked the attention so much that he attempted repeat after repeat fake fall and splash for his entertainment, as much as ours. He also likes to nearly drown himself by trying to drink his bath water (gross!), and checks out his various moves in the fireplace reflection. His latest move? Walking forwards and then backwards to fake you out. :)
Seeing your posts only reminds me of how I really DO live in the concrete city! Owen is lucky to grow up with so much mother nature at his fingertips! :)
