Just a quick update...more to come!
I can't believe how time has flown by so quickly! Owen is now 7 1/2 months old and sooo busy, as we call it :) He is exploring so many new things and is so close to crawling! He crawls backwards but can't get going forward. Everyone says it's prefectly normal to crawl backwards first so hopefully he will move in the right direction soon. He gets on his knees and rocks back and forth and gets one arm out forward but then brings it back and sits back down, it's so cute. He can't quite figure out how to make both hands and knees move at the same time. If he needs to go anywhere he scoots on his butt, which is really funny to watch. He can move quickly from one side of the room to another all on his little tush. Thank goodness he has a bit of padding back there, I can imagine his little butt would get sore from all the bouncing and scooting...ha!
Owen has also learned to go from laying to sitting which is great in the fact that he can play on his back or belly then sit back up when he's ready but hard when he's napping and wakes up. Instead of going back to sleep, he now sits up and pulls up on the side of his crib to look for us and then just plays. He's so nosey :)
We are working on waving but so far he waves backwards too...maybe he will do everything backwards...ha! Let's hope not, he would look funny walking backwards. When we say bye-bye he opens and cloes his hand and then stares at it...so really he's waving bye to himself.
He's saying a few more words and so far the one he still says all the time is "Hi." He says "ma, ma" and "ba, ba" several times but I can't get him to do it on commnd. Hopefully he will start saying it more and it will be his first word.
O is a eating machine (still) and now likes all the foods that he spit out before. So I can really give him anything at any temperature and he will eat it. He's a chunky monkey! He has been eating puffs, graham crackers and teething biscuits and doing pretty well with them. Puffs are a little bit of a challenge and he's still working on picking them up with his pointer and thumb. Now he picks them up with his open palm and they just get stuck to his hand, which makes him mad. He has also learned that if he hangs his hand over and drops them on the floor, that Sadie will race over to eat them, which he thinks is hilarious!
O's still wearing 6 month clothes and a few 9 month outfits. He's soooo long that he needs the 9 month clothes for lenght but they are too big everywhere else.
He is now sleeping on his belly no matter how many times we put him on his back. He's just decided that's how he wants to sleep.
Well that's a little update, hope to keep going and update a few other entries and add pictures of our little guy!
