Happy Time & Viva Mexico!!!

Smiles, smiles, smiles! Owen is having more and more "happy time," where he'll sit in his bouncy chair or my/dad's knees and just smile and coo and make all sorts of noises and faces. It's great! It's SO much fun to watch the little guy start to figure out he has a face (which he can control) and a voice (which he can use to make noises other than crying). He's not yet mimicking sound for sound, but he definitely responds in his own little way to our faces and noises.

Ooooooh!!!


Ahhhhhhh!

Melt my heart!

We had to get out of the house the other night, so we went to a new (to us) Mexican food joint. This place was pretty authentic...the sign said "La Botana" but all the menus said "Casa Herrera"--go figure. We told Owen we were going to Mexico for a quick visit and we're pretty sure he believed us. He did lots of cooing while we were there...I'm telling you, he's this close to rolling his Rs! In fact, that's one of the noises he likes me to make the most! Kyle and I were just commenting the other night that he seems to have his best evenings (which are generally the fussiest time of day) when we're out of the house. So, he's already showing signs of being a great (world) traveler. Viva Mexico!
