chatterbox

owen is a real chatterbox these days. he can count to five (both in words and on his fingers and the words match the fingers!) this morning it was "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, wake up jeff!" this as i was trying to get back to sleep at 4:30 after giving him some meds for his cough. it was pretty funny. "dinosaur" is also a new word in our vocabulary!

he has taken a liking to our organ of late. he can climb up onto the bench, usually by climbing over the sofa arms. he loves it! i've been in contact with a friend of mine whose son is a concert organist asking her if this is how jelani got started. it is. :-) if owen is still interested in playing something, i might start him out on violin (since i play) sometime after he turns three. piano maybe as he gets older.

favorite toys currently are the leap frog fridge phonics set he has (drives daddy nuts!), his legos, and his giant pegboard. all of them are birthday presents.

poor thing is hacking away right now. i've given him medicine but we are still waiting for it to work.
