Owen: 8 months

The biggest milestone for Owen this month has been crawling! He's gradually picking up the pace and has recently began leaving the room he's set down in (eek!). He still loves to walk holding onto your fingers - I think ultimately he'll be happiest when he's able to walk and keep up with his big sis. As a result of his increased strength, he's now able to pull himself up to standing (getting back down gradually hasn't been acquired yet). This new skill is also hindering his napping! Owen has become a bit more independent in his playing and will be content for a while sitting and playing with toys on his own. He's also sitting on his own in the bathtub - he LOVES splashing in the water! Unfortunately Owen has spent most of the last month sick. He was on the nebulizer for 3 out of the 4 weeks, was on antibiotics at two different times, and a steroid.  Ugh! He loves to eat and is able to manipulate Cheerios in his mouth easily now as well as get them in his mouth accurately. He's growing like a weed!



I have less and less time to get the picture I want before this happens:
