6 Months Old

Owen was quite the little accomplished boy at 6 months old. By his birthday, he was able to roll both directions and was able to get up on all fours. He was working on figuring out how to crawl but was not quite there yet. He is such a happy baby, full of laughter and smiles and so much fun. He is such the little explorer too, always trying to figure out how things work. It is so much fun to just sit and watch the wheels turning in his head.

Happy 6 Month Old Baby

Getting into trouble exploring the medicine bin. Thank heavens for child proof caps.

Playing peacefully on the floor.

This month Owen also experienced several first, some you have already heard about (first ear infection and first time swinging). Anna took Owen to his first baseball game (FSU versus Florida) and he had a pretty good time; although, he did spend as much time looking at the pretty college girls as the game. Owen and Jed had their first extended time alone while Anna was out of town for three days/two nights for work. They did pretty well and nobody had any missing body parts when Anna returned.

Hanging out watching mom and dad get ready for work.

First time riding in the stroller without the car seat.

Lovin' on momma.

Playing in the Exersaucer.

Jackpot!

Owen went in for a pediatrician check-up again this month a few days after his birthday. At his check-up he got another round of shots but is such a champ. He doesn't seem to mind the shots too much, just hates being pinned down. This month Owen weighed 20 lbs 12 oz, in the 95th percentile, and was 27 inches long, putting him in the 75th percentile. Since he is such a champ eater, his food intake got bumped up but you'll hear no complaints from him.

Owen is such a sweet boy and we are having so much fun!
