He's got skills

I can't believe how fast Owen is growing up.  He's been rolling over from tummy to back for a few months now, and is getting better at rolling from back to front. He's never happy laying on his back for long and always wants to be sitting or "standing" in your lap.

Eric captured his first attempt at sitting all by himself.  I love that he gets so excited at the end that he falls over :)

We're pretty sure he'll be sitting up all on his own before we know it!

Yum Yum

While grandma was here Owen had his first bite of "grown up" food.  We fed him avocado and he loved it! 

Since then he's tried sweet potato, oatmeal, and apple sauce and loved them all.  His absolute favorite is when I mix the applesauce and oatmeal together - he has to "help" me hold the spoon when I feed him that so he can shovel it in as fast as possible :)

4 months

Here's our big boy on his 4 month birthday.  I love the surf shirt he's wearing.  Grandma Oslund brought it for him when she came to stay with us for a week.  Eric had to go to a training in D.C. for a week and she came down to help with Owen.  She was a lifesaver and I can't imagine how I would have managed the week without her!

At Owen's 4 month appointment he was 26.5 inches tall and 16 pounds 4 oz - he's a big guy!

Exersaucer!

One of Owen's favorite toys is his exersaucer.  He loved the one at daycare - I was told every day how much he enjoyed playing in it.  My Aunt Carolynn heard how much he loved it and sent us one for his very own!

He absolutely loves it and plays in it several times a day.  The video is from the first week he got it - he's more of a "pro" at all the different toys now :)

3 month photo shoot

Here are some of our favorite pics from Owen's 3 month photo shoot.  

Overdue Update

Sorry it's been so long since I last posted - we've been busy around here! I started back to work full time the week Owen turned 3 months and haven't had much time to blog since.

I'm going to be posting quite a few pictures and videos, so we can catch up to our almost 5 month old little boy!

Here are a few pics, just for fun. There aren't really cute clothes for boys, but you sure can find some cute hats - and Owen's head is so huge, the hats help hide it a little bit :) Here's Owen modeling some of our favorites (he's between 3 and 4 months old in these pictures).

Sorry they're a little small - they were taken on my phone.
