Owen 5 Months

Owen never sleeps. Yesterday Owen napped for probably 1 hour total. He still wakes up at night and can be up for a hour or so. This more than anything else has changed our lives the most since we had kids. At this age, Andrew could sleep for about 6 hours a day - two really good 3 hour naps. He still takes 3 hour naps. A parent can get a lot done during those naps. Now, we are always "on duty" even at night. The fatigue for me is pretty intense (and has impacted the blogging frequency, I've got about 20 minutes to finish this post before he gets up again!).

Owen doesn't seem to need it or want to sleep that much. So he's had a lot of awake time to work on some skills. Like eating spinach. He doesn't look to sure about it here, but he ate a ton of it!

He's been working out at the pool

He's getting ready to crawl

Aside from being awake all of the time, Owen is a great baby, still very happy and super active. He's going to crawl soon, but even now he can scoot and roll all over the place. He's very big and has graduated from the bucket car seat to the next one up and is now in 12 month outfits.
