Owen's 6 month updates!

Even though it's a bit late...here are Owen's 6 month updates and stats:
  • Weight = 17lbs
  • Length = 27 inches
  • Both put him in the 50th percentile for growth!
  • He now gets 2-3 baby meals of oatmeal + a fruit or veggie/day and LOVES it
  • He's only taking a 6oz bottle after waking up and before going to bed - he will take a few 4oz bottles during the day, but much prefers his baby food.
  • As some one at church put it, he's discovered a whole new decibel level of his voice, ha!
  • He can sit on his own but still topples over frequently
  • Still wearing size 2-3 (yes that is an actual size) of papers swaddlers
  • He wears a size 6-9 in clothes - carters still fit him best since he is long & lean
  • He's such a good little shopper - loves to be out and looking at things with mommy in any store
  • He loves going to mother goose story hour at Barnes & Noble each week - he gets so excited to be around all the other little kiddos and listen to the songs and stories
  • He's settled into a fairly predictable napping schedule - 2 in the AM, 1 after lunch and 1 late afternoon.
  • He gets a bath each night by daddy and has mastered splashing!
  • Bedtime is usually between 6:30-7:30pm and he's been sleeping till about 5-6am most nights....we did have a week or so of waking up in the middle of night because of rolling over, but that seems to have tapered off lately.
  • Sophie the giraffe is still our #1 toy but Owen will chew non-discriminatly on anything!
  • Daddy makes Owen laugh the most - and his laugh is sounding more and more like mommy's laugh!
  • We can't tell yet, but we think Owen is starting to reach for us now!
Here's his first year frame that Cory bought for him - I put his crib card, newborn ID tag and a set of footprints from delivery in the frame :)

Owen chomping on Daddy's thumb...yum!

Our big boy in his chair!

He LOVES playing with his feet!

"Daddy, I can do it - I don't need your help"!

Another favorite chomping toy! Look at how long he is!

Those gorgeous baby blue eyes:

We're getting so close to crawling efforts - but spend most of our tummy time rolling over!

Fast asleep in my car seat

He loves playing his baby piano! Please excuse the baby drool...

Play time

Just waiting on my lunch :)

We love you so much sweet baby boy - happy 6 months!

I LOVE his thighs! They are soooo adorable (as is the rest of him of course!) Way to grow and develop Owen! What a cute sweetie and he is as big as Riley now (size 3 diapers and 6-9 month clothes too!)

Oh my gosh! He is so so big! I cannot believe it. He's grown up so much since I saw him in October.

Much love,
Dawn
