25 Months!!

This little guy is 25 months today!

I should probably stop with the monthly birthday updates, but I can't help myself. He changes so much every single month!

I have said it a couple of times this month, but I am still in a little bit of shock at how much energy he has. We are seeing a totally different side of Owen that we never knew existed. Before he turned two, there would be days of never getting out of bed, constant puking, and major irritability. Ever since I switched his diet to real food, I'm lucky if I can get him to sit still for a few minutes while I feed him. It's a total change and we are thrilled!!
With all his new energy, he has been making HUGE improvements in his gross motor skills. He started crawling a few weeks ago, but only takes about five crawls forward before he converts back to butt-scooting. Then, just a few days ago, he start pulling to a stand! He thinks he's pretty cool and loves to stand and sit, stand and sit. Just don't expect him to do it on queue or when the video camera is rolling. I have no idea why he stands in 2nd position either?
His speech has come a LONG way and he repeats just about anything he hears. The kids teach him some pretty interesting words... next time you see him, ask him to say "Do you want a piece of me?" Hilarious!
Overall, this little guy is growing up too fast. He is getting stronger and proving to the docs that his heart will hold out as long as he wants it too! He's gaining back his lost weight and his O2 sats have been lingering around 78 on 1/2 liter of oxygen. I am just in awe at his progress and we are so happy!!

ps... those are my knee pads for hip hop on his arms.. in case you were wondering.
