These pictures were taken at our house last Friday. We were baby-sitting Owen for a couple of hours. It was a beautiful fall day- crisp and cold. This will be his first fall and winter where he is mobile. Last year, of course, he was bundled up.The first picture is him hiding behind a cedar tree near our front gate
. He was using the cedar to hide behind and we would pretend we couldn't see him. He would then poke his head around the tree with the biggest grin on his face. He even kept his hood up so his ears wouldn't get cold. Usually he hates anything on his head.He went there when the dogs in the back yard started to bark. He wanted to see them and so he peeked through the gate and called them. Of course, they were right there and he was thrilled. He laughed and laughed, while they tried to lick his face between the boards. I guess they also looked funny to him because he couldn't see the whole dog.
When he got bored talking to the dogs we called him and he came running out to see us. He still had his mitts (with idiot strings) still on his hands . He also was quite proud of his new running shoes. I am amazed at how well he can move in them as they are a lot clunkier than his other shoes.
This was a day where he was just enjoying life and being outside. Even with his cold, he did not want to come in. The jacket kept him nice and warm and so we stayed out. We also went for a walk and he tried to go up to the neighbours house. When I wouldn't let him do that, I found out he has a real temper. Mean Grandpa!!! The nice thing is that it doesn't last long. Just a quick burst and it is over.
I am looking forward to when he can see his breath. That should be interesting.

I remember when EJ was a diaper wearing toddler in FL. We had an Old English Bulldog, and when the dog would bark at the gate, EJ would too. I asked his doctor if EJ might think he was a dog. How that man laughed. I felt a little foolish, not the first time, and definately not the last.
What a beautiful thought. "I am looking forward to when he can see his breath." What a picture that paints in the mind...
Just me: Kids don't change when they are so young do they. Owen also likes to "Ruff, ruff" like a dog.
I am re-learning so much with him.
Good morning Grandpa. Every time you post pics of Owen he looks so much older which shows you how much they change in such a short time.
Just wait until he can throw a snowball at Grandpa's head. hee hee
Babzy: You really can see him getting older. He's not a baby anymore.
I will teach him to throw snowballs at GIRLS> LOL
Good evening mr. grampa moose, sir.
I have been studying Owen's pictures and it has become a firm belief in my mind that Owen takes after his Grandma and his Mom.
He's so adorable that I'm thinking about about bringing him down here so he can learn how to meow like a cat. I know you enjoy him moose.
Cat: You are right about him in the looks department. Lucky boy, doesn't look like a moose.
I'm sure he would love to meet your cats. He gets a big thrill with animals.
We had him for about 4 hours today and a great time was had by all. He gets more adorable and smarter every day. We love him to bits ( as if you couldn't guess. LOL)
I'm with Cat ... send him home meowing like a cat Well, after you teach him full Moose and Dog, that is. MULTI-lingual!
Lin: Moose and Dog are the most important to learn first, then English.
He tried Cat for awhile for because there is none at his house or our house, he has given it up
During the summer and fall, on our walks I was hoping he would learn goose.
