8 month old Owen

Owen is a funny little man these days. He weighs about 17 pounds and is 2 feet 4 inches tall. He has two bottom front teeth, and they are SHARP. The top two are on their way, so it makes a grouchy boy some nights. He did pretty well with his first two teeth, but the next set are not so easy. Owen wants to be on the move, but the crawling thing just isn't happening yet. He gets up on all fours and rocks, but no forward movement as of yet. He got a walker last week, and he caught on pretty quick. Just this morning he figured out he can follow his dad around in it. He loves to cuddle for naps, but spend the time pulling hair and poking faces instead of sleeping. He eats anything we give him except normal baby food. He prefers the purees I blend for him, especially the ones that have meat in them. Little carnivore. He loves Yogurt Drops and cheerios, and after weeks of them being all over the floor, he's finally figured out how to get them into his mouth with minimum treat loss. The crazy amount of spitting up has stopped as he's eating more and more solids everyday. Owen's favorite book is Doggies, because it makes us sound ridiculous. He's obsessed with water, be it drinking out of a cup, splashing in the bathtub, or swimming.

We love our little boy!
