Owen 6 months

Owen is six months old! He still is a happy, happy baby. He laughs and smiles very easily. He has another tooth coming in, right next to the first one. So he's drooling alot. His sleeping is getting much better. He took a three hour nap yesterday and last night only woke up twice, briefly at midnight, then at four. So the parental units are getting a little more sleep around here.

Owen is an ACTIVE baby. He army crawls all over the place and is just about to get up on his knees to start crawling properly. When we put him on the floor he can move, he makes a b-line to the toys, usually Andrew's toys. We've had to separate these two a couple of times. Andrew isn't always in a sharing mood.

Owen's six month doctors appointment is next month. When I rescheduled his appointment for the afternoon (now that my afternoons are free), the next available time was October 24th! So, I'll have some statistics next month. Two weeks ago we went to urgent care because Owen had a fever. He had an ear infection - he's better now. His weight at the time was 19.2 pounds. He's outgrown the twelve month outfits and is now into eighteen month outfits. (Andrew can still wear twenty-four month outfits, Owen may catch up soon!)

Owen's continuing with solid food. He's eating cereal in the morning, and pureed fruits and vegetable at lunch, then cereal in the evening. He loves to eat fresh fruit. We bought him a Baby-safe feeder that we can plop peices of fresh fruit into and he loves to chew on it. Strawberries are his favorite so far.

He's a great little baby and pretty fun to have around.

Typical Owen :)
