6 months!

Owen had his half birthday yesterday and we celebrated by going to the doctor. My little man weighs 16 pounds 1 ounce (25%), is 26 1/2 inches long (75%) and his head is 44 1/4 cm around (50-75%). He did great with the doctor and even had an eye test which he passed. He also had to get 3 shots. He did not cry at the first one but the other two must have hurt. He only cried for about 30 seconds and then he was back to looking around the room at the fish.

Here are some of the things Owen is doing at this age:

• Says ba-ba, da-da, mum-mum, gee, boop, gert
• Can roll both ways and likes to do it multiple times in a row
• Tries to crawl but ends up looking like an inch worm
• Loves to kick and always has his feet on something
• Giggles when he sees someone he knows
• Follows Bert around the room and recognizes his name
• Makes frog noises when he gets excited
• Eats sweet potatoes, carrots, squash, pears, apples, rice, oatmeal and barley cereal
• Will start eating peas, green beans, avocado, bananas and peaches
• Grabs toys with both hands and puts everything in his mouth
• Has his two bottom teeth
• Sleeps 9-10 hours a night and naps 3-4 hours during the day
• Wakes up happy, talking to himself and kicking his crib
• Pulls our water cup into his mouth and tries to drink
• Can sit on his own for a few seconds but he doesn't want to sit still. He wants to move!

Sneak peek of Owen's Easter photos. We only got a few good ones because I think this was the start of him not feeling well. He wanted nothing to do with Kim or the camera. She has such cute props set up but he cried on everything except the bench. It was all I could do to get him to smile for a few pictures. More to come!
