Since I know many people read our blog just to see Owen, here are lots of pictures for your enjoyment!
Owen turned 2 months on the 12th. Some of the things he does now:
-we have lots of tummy time. he doesn't always like it and often fusses and cries, but we try to do it at least once or twice a day. his head is getting stronger and can lift it almost 90 degrees
-he can hold his head up pretty good by himself
-he loves his toys, especially the blue octopus that plays music and his bright yellow stuffed "gato volador" (flying cat)
-he has discovered his hands. he looks at his fists when he's playing, and he's just started sucking on his fists. he's never been a thumb or finger sucker though.
He is such a happy baby and is so fun to have around. We are so blessed to have him a part of our family. We love him very much!!
Now the pictures:
first teddy-bear from Build-A-Bear
first time at a mall, he was enthrawled with all the lights!
at Harold Washington Library in Chicago, once again entrawled with the lights
2 months old
all smiles!

we've learned he has to wear a hat anytime we go outside or he'll get sunburned.
tummy time. I love this outfit.
sporting his baby Air Jordan's (thanks Aunt Katy!)
bubbly bubbles!
(I tried so hard to post some videos on here but I guess the internet in my apartment in too slow. I'll have to figure something out.)

-he has discovered his tongue. he'll stick out like a little snake, lick his lips, and click his tongue
-he is awake for longer periods and sleeps less, often skipping a nap. he still sleeps well at night, although all our traveling and running around has thrown him off and he no longer sleeps through the night. he wakes up every night around 2 or 3am. we're working to break that habit.
-he smiles all the time, and he seems so close to laughing. I'm sure it will happen soon.
-he's started blowing bubbles and gets all foamy at the mouth. it's pretty funny.
-he loves being rocked to sleep and always falls asleep when he's out and about in his Baby Bjorn.
-when it's time for his nap he loves being swaddled and has to have his Soothie pacifier. this combination always calms him right down. and he doesn't take any other brand of pacifier very well
-he loves going for walks in his stroller. he loves to look around at all the buildings and city sites

-he seems to be tolerating dairy better. I've slowly introduced cheese and yogurt and a tiny bit of milk (milk in Ecuador is gross) and he hasn't had any reactions!! yay!!!!!

I still can't believe that you guys are in Ecuador. I think it's awesome. Your little guy is beautiful and perfect. And Josh's mustache was pretty serious...it should make a return at some point before you leave.
I was holding Chase while checking your blog and he was so excited for all the pictures of Owen. He kept saying buby and trying to grap the screen. He loves babies which I guess is a really good thing since it isn't long befor this one gets here!
He's so adorable and look so happy! I can't wait to experience that age with mine.
He is so cute! I can't believe he's doing all those things already. They grow up too fast.
I'm glad you like my pictures. I'd love to take some for you. Just let me know when you're back and ready to do them.
So cute!!
Oh, I wish we could have seen the video too. Thanks for trying. I miss you guys, and I miss Owen. He's such a sweet little guy. These pics are great. I love the ASU one, adorable. Man, this little guys has been to more places in the world than I have, and he's only 2 months old!
Talk to you soon :-)
He's the cutest little boy in the whole world! But don't worry, I don't just read your blog for Owen updates! I care about what you're up to too!
Love all of the pictures! I wish I could catch Ashton smiling on camera! He smiles a lot more now, but I'm never able to capture it! It is so fun to see them growing up! I am so jealous you get to stay home with him-I go back to work in two weeks:(
