Owen turned 11 months old this weekend. I can't believe he is nearing one year old already. He is still crawling everywhere and pulling up on everything. I was on my way to work last week and Alan called saying, "Guess what Owen can do now. Climb steps." We accidentally left the gate open at the bottom of the stairs and before we knew it, he was almost to the top. He is growing so fast. He has 6 teeth now and has two more popping through on the bottom. He is such a sweet, little guy and laughs hysterically at the smallest things. Ellie can get him on a roll some days. He now says bye, bye while waving to himself and I think he is saying Mama, but I am not sure that he equates it with me. Hoping though.
It was also my birthday on Friday and if you all know my girls, you know they like to have a party. On Thursday night, they couldn't stand it anymore and had to give me my presents. We usually let them pick out a few things at Dollar Tree, and you never know what you might get. The best gift of all was an envelope that Katelyn gave me with $20 of her own money. This was huge for her. She has been saving like crazy for an American Girl doll, so to give me $20 melted my heart. It was so sweet. Of course I gave it back to her. When I asked her if she would have been sad if I kept it, she said, "no because I love you more than money." She has such a sweet heart and loving spirit.
