Day 272: Superheroes

September 28, 2012: Superheroes are the latest thing.  Owen still likes Chip as his security snuggly, but as soon as he gets home, it's all about Hulk, Captain America, and I think the other guy might be a random Power Ranger.

Day 271: Shoes On

September 27, 2012: I got Owen these Crocs so he could play in the summer and get wet or dirty and the shoes would clean off easily.  He LOVES these shoes.  Don't try to put him in anything else.  Best of all, he can get them on and off by himself, which he likes to do.

Day 270: Feet on a Beach

September 26, 2012: Feet on a beach photos are so cliche.  Right now I'd rather just be in bed, finally able to go to sleep.

Day 269: Super Owen

September 25, 2012

Day 268: Smoothie

September 24, 2012: Best smoothie I've ever made, I'm about to eat you.

Day 267: Sweeping Leaves

September 23, 2012

Day 266: Happy Birthday Carter & Lila

Carter

Lila


...and also only (only?) 100 more days to go until Day 366!

Day 265: Fingers

September 21, 2012: The roots of this tree look like creepy Halloween fingers crawling out of a grave.  I don't like icky things like that, but I still think this looks pretty cool.

Day 264: Sunlight

September 20, 2012: It's getting dark much earlier these days.  This is the sun down pretty low behind the trees as I was getting home.

Day 263: It's the Thought That Counts

September 19, 2012: This might now be the worst photo of the year, but the idea behind it is a good one.  We signed the papers for our house tonight, and next week we'll be homeowners!  It was a late night, though.  The guy handling all this paperwork was at our house until after 10:30, and yes, that's very late for me.

Day 262: Fall

September 19, 2012: I know it's not officially fall yet, but I guess the tree out in front of my house doesn't know that.

Day 261: Hulk

September 18, 2012: We have a lot of Hulk stuff at our house.  And I'd be lying if I said it was all Owen's.  One of these items was even a wedding gift.

Day 266: Awake!

September 17, 2012: Owen usually wakes up from his nap ready to get out of his crib, but today he wanted to rest and play in it for awhile.  I love his rosy cheeks and messed up hair.  And the poster in the background came free with my book order for school.  I almost threw it away but then I realized how much Owen would like it-- it has cats and dogs reading books.  He chose where to hang it up in his room.  On this day we were talking about which cats and dogs were our favorites.

Day 259: Inspection

September 16, 2012: I don't know what that thing in Owen's hands is called, or even what it does.  It's something for the TV or the stereo or the computer...I don't know.  But somehow it ended up in Owen's room and he loves inspecting it.  I almost took it away from him but what's the harm?

Day 258: Wrestling

September 14, 2012:  What a lovely picture of me with Owen's feet on my face.  This is how he likes to "wrestle."

Day 257: Star Wars Lunch Box

September 13, 2012: This Star Wars lunch box was a ring bearer gift from Dustin's wedding, but you might as well call it Owen's treasure box.  He stuck Batman stickers on the inside and he puts his favorite toys in it.  At the wedding, he carried it around and put stuff in, took stuff out, put stuff in, took stuff out, etc.  He was so proud of it.

Day 256: Zig Zags

September 12, 2012: I love the spiky shadows made by the grass in front of our house.

Day 255: Starlight

September 11, 2012: This turtle was a baby shower gift, and now Owen plays with it like a toy.  He likes to shine the light on the walls, on me, and on himself.

Day 254: Basketball

September 10, 2012: Sorry Owen, but it's pretty easy to slam dunk when the hoop is that low.

Day 253: Owen

September 9, 2012: I've waited two weeks to write about this photo, so now I don't even know what was going on.  It looks like Owen was watching TV.  Any guesses on the show?  Jake and the Never Land Pirates, Puss in Boots, Spongebob-- those seem to be the ones in heaviest rotation right now.
