Giggles, Climbing and Play Time

So much to blog! Owen has been imitating us recently, his latest is the telephone, he has a play phone that he picks up and pretends he's talking. Sometimes he'll put any old object next to his head, but he likes this little phone... think he's calling Sofia.

Aunt Liz was here again today, yesterday she had Owen cracking up with a book... no, silly, she wasn't reading the book, but she kept closing it and opening it in Owen's face and he thought that was the funniest thing ever. Today, when they were playing with the tunnel, Aunt Liz found that if she just wiggled the fabric, Owen would crack up... They really have fun together, especially lately, as Owen is increasingly playful and so inquisitive! The video is just of her fingers, but listen to his giggles. How cute?

Owen's also learning to climb. We went to BAAC today and played up in the tree house and in the soft play area. Owen can climb all the way through it. It's very cute. He's so proud of himself when he gets through each obstacle.

He's also really enjoying practicing his walking with the octagon shaped toys that he pushes then stabilizes with each step. He walks well with this, and can even push it all the way across the room. This has really given him some confidence when trying to walk and push a toy, or holding my hands. He's still aways from actually walking, but he's definitely progressing well. He also loves to cruise along the rock climbing wall. He's very good at maneuvering across the wall between pegs. I think that this area has really developed his skills well. He's so adorable and learning so much, so fast.

Another of Owen's favorite things is to test out his voice... He loves to hear an echo, and the BAAC Clubhouse is perfect for him. It's great. Listen for yourself.
