now on to owen's 7 month update...
heres he is with his new favorite toy. bop n beep, the ugly doll.
hes babbling all the time. lots of dadas and babas and a few mamas here and there.
when he gets excited, he shakes his head back and forth like hes dancing. especially when his momma sings or his daddy plays the guitar.
his favorites: pat-a-cake and jungle gym.
he can pick up a cheerio or a puff with his tiny fingers and will try very very hard to get it into his mouth.
he has learned how to spit out his food, making huge messes for his mommy and daddy to clean up.
he can walk while holding onto our hands.
he is getting better with his sippy cup. he can even hold onto it and tip it up all by himself.
he is just starting to do the inchworm crawl. he pushes off on his feet and his little tush pops up in the air.
he can spin around in circles while hes on his tummy.
he is sitting steady and playing by himself for longer periods of time.
he gets very excited when hes sees people that he recognizes.
he shows a lot of expression with his face.
he is very ticklish. especially on his little belly.
he purposely drops his toys so that he can watch where they fall.
he likes to hold onto two toys and bang them together.
he loves to play with tags, little threads, and the drawstrings on his pants.
he knows his name and will turn towards you if you call out to him.
and he has learned that he is the BOSS. and knows just how to get what he wants.
