Our Little Characters

Owen and Maren are at such a fun age.  I thought I would be sad to come to the end of the baby stage, but I am loving watching these two little ones turn into crazy toddlers.  They are so different from each other, and we get to see more of their unique personalities every day.

Owen is our smiley guy!  He is very affectionate and loves to give kisses (which are actually bites).  He has started to play independently really well and loves to figure out how all of his toys work. He is currently obsessed with Cooper, cheese, books, Pat-a-Cake, baths and roaring like a lion.  He can easily stand and will take steps using his Stride-and-Ride Puppy, but he still prefers to crawl.  He is an amazingly fast crawler!

Smiles!

This sweet guy is always excited to see his sister.

Maren is our feisty little girl! She will do anything to make us laugh.  She has this fake chuckle that she knows will make us laugh every time.  She is also very curious about everything.  If she points at something, someone better tell her what it is right away!  She is currently obsesses with books, mirrors, putting on her make-up (lotion for her chapped cheeks), dancing and standing like a big girl (independently). She likes to walk using her Stride-and-Ride Puppy and will also take 2-3 steps on her own.    

This is Maren's thinking face. She picked it up from Grandma Colleen and expects you to say "Hmmmmm" when she makes it.
