We are on the move now… Owen is officially a crawler as of 2 days ago. He got around before then by moving and scooting around, but now he is on all 4's. The days of sitting him in the middle of the floor and running off to get something upstairs really quick are a distant memory now. Owen's favorite thing to play with is drawers and doors. When I put him on the floor in his room he makes a bee line for his dresser and wants to open and close the drawers. He giggles when he does it. Who knew the dresser was such a great toy?
We are still settling into the new home. We still have unpacking to do, house projects and furniture to buy. We are just taking things slow and doing them right. I feel like it will be 2 years before we are finally settled.
Owen's Milestones
- You started crawling!!!! The first day I saw you really do it was July 6, 2015.
- You love to watch big kids play. We went to a 4th of July BBQ and you loved watching the big kids run around.
- You started eating solid food… we've had bananas cut up, Gerber puffs and a little bit of scrambled egg.
- You love to say "Ahhhh!" And you throw your arms down when you do it. If we do it you laugh and do it back. We can go back and forth forever doing it.
- I don't know how much you weigh or how tall you are, but we will find out at your 9 month doctor appointment on Friday. I will update this portion of the blog with the facts on Friday.
- Still only 2 teeth (on the bottom)
- You started eating purees out of the squeeze pouches which is nice because you can feed yourself while mommy makes dinner. You have had some store bought ones, but mommy makes most of your pouches. The pouches are really great for eating out at restaurants because they are less messy than spoon feeding (and they keep you busy for a while). Here is a
link to the kit to make pouches at home.
- You love to throw balls and watch where they go. You have a good arm, but your aim needs a little work.
- You can pull yourself up and sit up in the crib. You look so proud of yourself after you do it.
