10 months!
Owen,
You are TEN months old! You have now been out of my belly longer than you were in my belly! You have changed so very much in the past ten months - it amazes me EVERYDAY! You are seeming to becoming more of a "big boy" each day. You will ALWAYS be my baby though. You have pretty much given up eating all baby food, now I just need you to like your sippy cup better :).
This month we will be making the transition from formula to milk. I am hoping for a smooth transition. We have been letting you try more adults foods, and anything you can feed yourself has been a big hit. So far your favorite is noodles, and any kind of fruit. You make it known that you want to feed yourself, this makes for a very entertaining & messy lunch and dinner time. You have really become a pro at getting every bite in your little mouth.
Here you are sitting on the front porch swing! Such a big boy you are.
This is sometimes how you move. You are SO close to walking and each day you have been taking steps 2, 3, & even 4 without holding on to anything, but you quickly realize how slow you are moving and plop down and zoom away. (you are a real efficient crawler)
The is the face you give me when you think mommy or daddy is chasing you. You love for us to "chase" you. You laugh and laugh SO loud. It makes us crack up with you. You LOVE to have fun, and we love to have fun with you.
"Come on.... try and get me mom!"

I can't believe that I have started planning your FIRST birthday party already! It doesn't seem right, the days are going WAY to quick! BUT in just 8 weeks we will be celebrating! It will be here before we know it! You even have guest flying in for the "BIG" event!

9 month update
My dear sweet boy, i can't believe 9 months have flown so quickly ( and took so long when you were in my tummy)
You are growing so fast and moving everywhere. you are a full time cruiser, walking along walls, furniture, well lets just say anything to help you balance. You have taken a few steps on your own, but then you realized it and either plop down to your bottom or grab a hold of something in your reach.
We don't go for your 9 month check up until the middle o the month, but I am getting really excited to see how much your ave grown since you last apt at 6 months.
You are really starting to have an opinion about everything! You will not eat baby food if we are eating at the same time and you know there are other options, you will flat out refuse until we share our food with you. You are really picking up on drinking from a sippy cup and enjoy drinking water from it, but not formula. We have had a little bed time battle lately, you are jumping in your bed and climbing on the bumpers(which i have now removed)- you only do this for a moment of revolt, but you quickly give in to your sleep and collapse right on top of the bumpers(why they are removed)- we would have to come and slid you to the middle of the crib once you were sleeping. (not really sure why, but this made dad and I laugh every night)
You are trying to give up napping in your crib, which is totally my fault. The past month or so I have been so tired that I would just lay down with you at nap time, and now that my energy is returning you want to part of napping alone in your crib. We will get there little one, mommy has things to do while you nap.
You have all 4 of your top teeth coming in, well one is in and we can see the other 3. You will then have a grand total of 6 teeth.
You are saying all kinds of sounds...dada, mama, baba and more... but are yet to really use them in the right context.
You are still wearing 9 month and 12 month clothes, and size 2 shoes.
I booked your 1 year photo session today, i can't believe it... you are so close to your first birthday!
Owen, you light up my life more than I ever thought was possible, I am so happy to be your mommy, and spend each day watching you grow, learn, and experience new things. I wouldn't trade this for anything!
XOXO
Mommy

8 months and exciting news :)
Owen my dear, you turned EIGHT months old and are OH so busy now!
You are crawling completely on your own, pulling up on anything you can and even shimmy-ing around the living room holding on to furniture/toys that are on your path. I have a sneaky feeling you won't be crawling long. I think you are moving on to a faster way of transportation.
You are a very good eater, eating just about anything we have tried. There are only two things you will not eat.(carrots and green beans) I have been offering you more grown up food items and you love it! You have eaten noodles, grilled cheese, cheese quesadillas, & all kinds of fruit.
This past month you went on your very first beach trip, it was a little chilly/windy so we didn't hang out much on the beach but you did get to put your toes in the sand and the water... you were very curious about it. You went swimming for the first time and absolutely LOVED it! I think you and I might be pool bums this summer, which is fine with me :).
You still haven't been sick, but I thought you might be and took you to the doctor only to find out you are cutting 5 teeth at one time... yep...FIVE... you have not been the usually happy camper/good sleeper that you are so we are hoping that these teeth break through fast. You already have two on the bottom, and seem to be getting 4 on top and on more on the bottom. I believe once this happens you will try to give up baby food... well you are already trying to eat/steal anything we are eating.
You are wearing either 9 month or 12 month clothes, and size 2 shoes.
This month you also discovered that you are going to be A BIG BROTHER! yep that is right.. sometime around NOVEMBER 21 another little one should be arriving. I think you will be so excited because you love other children and have always been interested in babies.
Owen your daddy and I are head over heels in love with you! We have had the best 8 months ever and look forward to each and evey milestone to come!
Love,
Mommy

7 months!
Seven wonderful months have passed us, and oh how quickly they have.
This past Sunday you had your very first photo shoot here at the house! You weren't too happy about it, but I just received the proofs and they are just wonderful! It is amazing how good pictures are if they are taken in your home.

So this past month little one you have changed so much!
Your first and second tooth has pooped through, you are making a lot of headway on the crawling, and can really move yourself around on the floor to get what you want. You seem to go in circles at the moment, and I think that is just enough. I don't think I am ready for you to be a full time mover! I am really enjoying NOT having to chase you yet!
You are eating more and more items, I have began to share what I am eating with you(depending what it is), and you LOVE it! I have made us pancakes a few mornings and I believe they are your favorite. You also love strawberries, avocado, apples, baby puffs, and baby mum mum snacks. You really like feeding yourself any items that are easy to pick up. You smile so big when you succeed with the item in your mouth!
We have been going on outings more often that the weather here has broke, and you love getting out of the house and hanging with other little kiddos, but you also love coming home. I think you recognize our house, because when we get home you smile and giggle as we walk up the walk-way to the front door.
We have had a lot going on this past month, and next month even more! You and I are going to head to the beach with my mom and your aunt Brennan, while daddy's gets the house put back together after all that water damage. (we are pretty lucky- we don't have to deal with it :))
You are growing up before my eyes!
Lots of Love,
Mommy

Must Haves
I have seen this trend today and I thought I would follow suit:
At six months these are the things that have been the most use to us.
A walker; to be honest I never wanted a walker- but we were given one and Owen actually loves it. I can put puffs or toys on the tray and he just cruises around the kitchen while I am cooking or doing dishes. We also let him walk around the dinning room when we eat dinner and he just has a blast.
The BUMBO: the best thing ever! We began sitting Owen in his at around 2 months, and we still use it daily with and without the tray.
This was another gift that Owen loves now that is standing with support.
The bouncy chair, has been my BF on some days, mostly when he was a lot younger but there are times I still put him in there, he's a little big but he still has fun will all those toys. I really enjoy this seat b/c the toys came off.
Toys like this little guy are GREAT! they have a suction and will stick to just about anything: the highchair tray, bumbo tray, walker, and even a table at a restaurant. We have used him for all, and we have a few other suction toys that come in handy for these situations too!
Another infant/baby seat. This chair was a gift and we really like b/c it folds down flat and is easy to travel with. Owen has taken many naps in this seat. It vibrates and play music and cuts off after about 15 minutes.
These have been great lately since we have cut two teeth in the past week. Owen get pretty happy when he sees them too... I think he thinks they are candy! ha!
And yes, another infant seat. The Snoogie seat was another gift that we loved when Owen was a newborn. He slept in this many, many nights, after nursing. I could place this in our bed right in between my husband and I and we all three got some good sleep!
This video i bought for 2$ at the Half Price Books by my house, Owen loves it! He can watch it over and over, we have all the baby Einstein movies and he is just not as in to them as this video.
Well.... Those are the things we love, and just couldn't live with out!

the perfect snack for a little one learning to feed themselves. Owen loves them, he does make a mess but has a great time doing it. they dissolve too!
