Lilypie Second Birthday tickers

Sunday, January 3, 2010

Our big boy, Owen Christopher Grimes, turned 16 months old on Christmas Day. We thought it would be a great time to update everyone about what's going on. He has come a long way from the chubby, "three-elbow" baby of six months old. He can run, say a few words (mainly Dada and sometimes Mama, as well as "what's that?") and loves to read. He is able to use a few signs as well, like please, more, and all done. Owen's last visit at the doctor's office placed him off the charts in height at 35 1/2 inches, and in the 95th percentile for weight at exactly 30 pounds. He's not slim or light by any means and his Dada is proud.
Owen still enjoys watching The Backyardigans and has now come to love The WonderPets as well. Upon waking in the morning he must eat right away, then he's a very happy man for most of the day. He still naps, but only once a day now and for usually 2 to 3 hours. Oh yeah, and the funniest skill Owen has employed lately...grunting or barking like a dog at every animal he sees.

In Georgetown, SC on Christmas Day. (Present unwrapping round #2 after Owen's nap)
Too adorable!

Cool, a Backyardigans book in my stocking from Grandma and Grandpa! Thanks!!!


Mommy in action trying to catch up to Owen to snap a picture. This was the best we could get!
Down! Set! Hut!
Owen's on his way to his morning classes at Wake Forest University...maybe in another 17 years?


Grimes Family Christmas #2

After breakfast with GREAT Grandpa at K&W, Avery, Harrison and Owen frolicked in the snow covered parking lot."We love the old snow...can we stay and play all day?"

To the ATL with Poppy & Car-Car

Can you say, "couch potatoes?"
Owen and Harrion love to wrestle...the victor has yet to be determined since both boys are still standing.

Owen playing in the Fall leaves. (At home it's the Fall dead grass and sand).



A Happy Thanksgiving Homecoming for The Eschens

Gotta love the big group of Eschens, Carters and Grimes families together for Thanksgiving this year! We definitely enjoyed the Gator game too!!!

Trick-or-Treat!

Wow, that must have been a tough game for Dada...or did Biker Mommy cause those wounds?
Ew, what is all this pumpkin goo? I don't know, but I like it!
