five months
can't believe it has been five months since we first met our little owen. (big sigh.) heres the update... (feel i should warn you...its going to be a long one.)
-smiles and laughs ALL the time. and at EVERYone.
-knows you're coming to play when you say, "i'm gonna get you." and sooooooo loves it.
-has become really interested in hudson (our little chihuahua) and will intently watch as he runs around the house.
-will laugh and smile when hudson licks his hands and feet. (too cute to watch, really!)
-can grab onto his little feet and has started to put them in his mouth. (even cuter.) hes just so fascinated by them.
-will kick and kick to get my attention.
-is always burying his little head in my shoulder. (so so sweet.)
-rubs his eyes when hes really tired or when he first wakes up from a nap. (love this.)
-still fights sleep. and is still having some meltdowns at naptime.
-only wants his momma at night. will cry and cry if daddy tries to put him to sleep. (and he does not give up too easily.)
-is just starting to make some progress on the rice cereal. just a few days ago, he wanted nothing to do with it.
-has started to get on his own little schedule. cereal, followed by bath at 7. bedtime between 8 and 9. and three to four naps a day.
-lays in his little sleeper in the morning and talks to himself. (so fun to listen to.)
-looooves to listen to me sing. (completely out of tune.) twinkle twinkle little star seems to soothe him.
-smiles and gets excited for the itsy bitsy spider, patty cake, and the abc's.
-looooves the song "jungle gym" from jack johnson's curious george cd. will almost always quiet him in the car.
-his preferred method of communication: screams. (happy and mad ones.)
-doesn't like to be burped. or to be in the upright, over your shoulder position.
-always has his two fingers in his mouth.
-pays attention to his peekaboo books. likes the flaps and being surprised. (thanks to the astartitas.)
-has gotten really good at reaching out and grabbing things. especially mommy and daddys hair. (and grandma bonnies too.)
-can hold onto his paci and will try to put it in his mouth. (it even works sometimes.)
-puts EVERYTHING in his mouth. (and i mean everything.)
-a few of his favorites: his stuffed octopus, his crab rattle, his soft teether book, his bear rattle, and his lobster teether.
-plays in his jumperoo. (so cute to watch as his little legs run and jump.)
-knows that if he spins the ball with the lizard, the little balls inside will move. (so learning cause and effect.)
-loves to be outside. calms him everytime. will just stare up at the trees.
-loves bathtime and will kick and splash like crazy. (hes quickly outgrowing his froggie tub.)
-likes taking showers with mommy and daddy too.
-is getting better at rolling from his tummy to his back. he can even roll over while hes on the floor now.
-still not a big fan of being on his belly.
-has managed to roll up onto his side a few times.
-is still trying REALLY hard to sit up.
-likes to have his little feet kissed. his neck kissed. and his belly kissed. (and i love it too.)
-smiles real big when daddy flies him around the house and does the rocket ship. (they're pals.)
-laughs when you make funny faces and noises.
-and is getting WAY TOO big. TOO fast.
so theres the update. so much this month. so many QUIRKY things that i love about little owen.
ITS GOOD TO BE A MOMMA!
(and a big thanks to grandma jan and grandpa scott for the owen onesie. he looks so cute in it, doesnt he? we're so lovin the little uni shirts around here.)

18 weeks old
last night owen had rice cereal for the very first time. it was so fun to watch as he moved it all around in his mouth and then spit it back out. he was checking out the new texture and taste, trying to figure out what to do with it. and ooooohhh...the faces! so cute and silly! thought i'd share a few messy pics with you....
[all ready to go and looking pretty excited too! thanks to grandma jan and grandpa scott for the winnie the pooh set and to grandma bonnie and grandpa doug for the grasshopper bib.]
[he must like it cause hes reaching for more.]
[or maybe he just likes to make a mess.]
[all cleaned up and happy to have a full belly.]
owen had his 4 month appointment on tuesday and he was all smiles as dr miller checked him out. he weighed 15 pounds, was 25 inches long, and his head was 40.8 centimeters around. he was in the 50th perecentile for both height and weight, while his little head was only in the 20th. everything went great, so now we just have to get through his second round of shots. uuughh!

owens first visit to michigan
and to REDAMACKS...so so yummy! (for those of you who dont know, this is the very BEST hamburger joint around and absolutely worth the drive!) so on a whim, adam and i decided to head up to new buffalo for lunch. we had been talking about going to redamacks for soooo long and today just seemed like the perfect day. as we were crossing the michigan state line, it occured to me that this would be owen's first time leaving the state. how fun! heres a few pics from our very delightful lunch in michigan. so lovin the first pic...i think its my new favorite.
and this last picture was taken today at the plant nursery in valpo...adam just had to stop on our way back into town. it was owens first time facing out in the baby bjorn...i think he really liked the new view.

hes purple
so i finally decided to go ahead and stamp owens hands and feet for his baby book. i was a little hesitant cause i didnt want to put ink all over the poor little guy, but i looked for a better alternative and had no luck. so heres a pic of the messy fun that we had on wednesday night. of course the ink didnt want to come off very easy, which totally scared me, but after two days and several baths, its finally all gone. now i can laugh about it as i share this pic with you...
