September Sun

September passed us by rather quickly. It all seems like quite the blur now that we are well into October now. In this month Owen matured a lot. He all of a sudden realized what he wanted, when we wanted it and knew what he had to do when he wanted to get it. This resulted in a lot of vocalization. Since Owen was still pretty immobile at the beginning of the month he experienced some frustrations (so did Andrew and I). However, it was very exciting to watch him interact with toys and other household items in a new way. He all of a sudden had favorite toys and books that he didn't get tired of.

What else happened this month? While coming home from work, Andrew was rear ended on the 401....he was stopped in traffic when an old man drove into him. The old man didn't even attempt to brake prior to the crash, he explained to Andrew that he was looking up at the signs. Luckily Andrew was fine but the new car wasn't so lucky. Its all fixed now.

Here are some photos from the month.

Here is Owen trying on a new hand-me-down from the Hansons. We later tried out the contraption in the hot tub.

Owen found a new use for his Bumbo...chew toy.

Here Owen was trying to crawl really hard so he could get that leaf into his mouth.

Here he is realizing that laundry baskets are really fun. First he threw a shoe into the basket, then he dumped out the basket and didn't even help to fold his diapers.
