3 posts in a day has got to be a record! Anyway, while I was recuperating in bed from my surgery, Ben kept bringing Owen in to snuggle with me and keep me company. I was a little nervous about it at first because he's a rambunctious 2 year old and my tummy is pretty sore. I told him I had an owie on my belly and showed it to him, and he's been SOOOO gentle with me! Very cute. He lays next to me, pats my hair, and tells Ben "Daddy nap too!"
His latest favorite book is this slide already book that someone got him when he was a newborn. Lots of "woohoos!" and "aaaahhhhs!" so Owen has taken to reading it to US instead of visa versa. See if you can get the gist from this video:

Beautiful Baby
Maybe all parents think their babies are beautiful, but I seriously think Owen is just stunning. I want to kiss him all over all of the time. Since it has a giant prize, I decided to enter Owen in the Regis and Kelly Beautiful Baby Contest because.... well, why not.
If you click here, you can see some of the competition.
I was torn about which picture to submit. My all time favorite picture of Owen is this one from our 2007 X-mas card:
Unfortunately, the contest picture had to be with in the last month. So I wanted something that stuck out a little from all the other smiling cute babies (though frankly most of them just don't hold a candle to Owen :) I was torn between these two pictures.
This one is just an adorable smile and moment, but it doesn't do justice to his eyes, I don't think.
This one is adorable, but did I want to send in a grumpy face?
I tried to get some other pictures, but the lighting wasn't very good, Owen wasn't being very cooperative, and I couldn't get a good head shot. The best I got was this:
I went ahead and entered the grumpus shot. I figure if a kid can look THAT cute when grumpy, they'll get how adorable he'd be when smiling. What do you think? Did I choose the right picture?

The things he suddenly loves
Grammy Ruth made this quilt for Owen before he was born. We swaddled him in it a lot when he was little, and it's been in his bed since he's had blankets in there. While he was happy to sleep under it, until recently, he's never been particularly attached to any blanket or stuffed animal.
One day he suddenly woke up and was Linus. He needed to bring it with him everywhere. He wanted to carry it in the car with him, even. Here he is dragging his new love down the stairs after waking up.
He's done the same thing with hats. It was kind of a running joke how hard it was to get him to wear a hat. All of a sudden, even if it's 70 degrees outside, he wants to wear a hat. The Elmo hat I bought for him to wear for his 2nd birthday? Completely ignored until a couple of weeks ago. We're happy about this development because his little white head needs all the protection from the sun it can get.
You'll have to excuse the partial nudity on this one, but it cracks me up. First off, he looks like such a little boy here! Gone are the chubby little legs, hello pointy Ben-like skinny joints!
So Owen's been doing a GREAT job with potty training and will mostly take care of business on his own. He struggles a little to get his underwear back up, though because he just pulls from the front, so sometimes he walks around like this:
