Yup, that's right, Owen has his first case of pink eye. It pops up in his day care class about once a month. Apparently it's highly contagious. The doctor's office made me come in the back door. The pharmacist said that Robbie and I will likely get it too. The day care had us wait until he was on the meds for 24 hours before letting him come back. The good news is that other than being annoyed by the eye drops, Owen doesn't seem to even notice.
In other Owen news we've officially dropped a nap. He is down to only two naps a day. And starting in about a month - right after his first birthday, the day care will start him on naps on a mattress on the floor. Apparently that's how the next class up naps - no cribs - and so the class he's in starts getting them ready for that a few months before the switch over. What a big boy!
He's also starting to show understanding of certain words. He knows "dog." In fact he tries to say it - although it comes out more as "do" as he points to Connor. He says it over and over while pointing any time Connor is around - or if he sees other dogs or pictures of dogs. And if we say "dog" he starts looking for Connor. He also understands "bouncy." Any time we say it he starts bouncing. :)

He also knows "dude!"
cute 'do! and love the pic of Owen in the backpack! napping on a mattress will be an AWESOME skill for him to know when y'all start traveling more. T sleeps in a big kid bed at home but won't go near one when we travel. He is still insistent on his pack'n'play but soon he'll be too big for it!!!
