Little mommy

Owen LOVES Asher. I mean, every time that baby is asleep (which isn't too often lately), Owen is asking when he's going to wake up. And whenever his eyes are open Owen is saying, 'He's awake! He's awake! His eyes are open!' and smothering him with hugs and kisses. Or retrieving a blanket and trying to tuck it under his chin, or asking if we can bathe him, or lying next to him, or just caressing his little head. I keep thinking it will wear off, but it just seems to grow! It's very sweet.

Well, during one of these lovefests a day or two ago where Owen just couldn't get enough of touching Asher and cuddling him, all of a sudden he sits back for a minute, pulls up his shirt, cups the side of his chest with his hand and leans over Asher lying on the floor and tries to stick his chest in Asher's mouth! Ha! I was beside myself trying not to laugh, and nearly passing out from the adorableness. It was a purely loving act from Owen, having watched this a million times by now, and wanting to give some of that love to Asher just like mommy does. So sweet and hilarious! I asked Owen if he was trying to feed Asher and he looked like he'd just been caught stealing or lying...sort of embarrassed and like he was doing something he shouldn't have been. I just smiled and didn't say anything more. What a memory that little scene will be for me!

I may have mentioned Owen's big boy bike that the Smiths gave us from their fleet. Owen is now OBSESSED with bikes, and improving his skills. He's darn good for a 2 year old! He rides all by himself turning circles in the drive. And only once have I seen him run into something. Here's some video footage: http://www.vimeo.com/6635520
