6 months ago our family changed forever......
It's so hard to believe that it's already been 6 months into this new family of 4!
These last few months have been full of changes and new things...
Owen has started eating solids... sweet potatoes are his favorite, apples are close in 2nd.
I feel he is going to be my messy boy... He loves to "help" feed himself and is quick to grab the spoon! Most of the time the result is splatter all over everyone!
I have been making his baby food and it has turned out to a be a very economical, gratifying and strangely easy process! I like knowing exactly what he's eating too... no worrying about "other" ingredients.
He has really started talking a lot... many sounds and is more intentional with them. He's a communicator just like the rest of us! I'm still pushing for "ma-ma" to be his first word :)
(Chances are it will be da-da or bub-ba)
For a little guy who has such an on-again off-again relationship with his pacifier, he is loving it right now... He's wanting to go to sleep with it and it does help soothe those achy teeth... I guess he feels like if he can't have mama... that's the next best thing!
When he laughs he gets his whole body involved.... He wiggles down deep and shakes his head from side to side... cutest thing ever! He also has started cocking his head to one side and looking at something or someone. At first, I was concerned he may have an ear infection but after a trip to the doc, they said he was just being cute. I've tried to get a picture of this... but he's too quick and unpredictable!
He loves music... surprise, surprise... I know! He loves to make noises with his toys and when there is music you better believe he's moving... even if it's just his little foot turning circles!
Recently a big milestone is that he is rolling both ways and also sitting up with a little support. He is no longer accustomed to lying down... he wants to see things!
There are so many reasons why I LOVE this stage of babyhood.... they are aware of so much, taking every sight and sound in and loving it! We love to be outside now that the weather is more permitting and he LOVES to watch the leaves on the tress, especially when they blow in the wind. I especially love watching him and seeing those eyes big with amazement and awe.
There is so much about this little guy that we love... He's the best little brother in the whole world and the song is so true...
The moon sees somebody Asher sees..
I often think that God above,
sent Owen down for Asher to love.
Picked him out above the rest,
Cause He knew he'd love him best!
So much Joy from such a little guy!
