Owen is now six months old! A whole half a year old.
I feel like I should know everything about this kid and how best to care for him, but both Joe and I are challenged every day.
At his doctor's appointment, he weighed in at 18 lbs 13 oz (almost 19 lbs) (75th %) and 28 inches long (90th %). We're in 6-9 month clothes, and still wearing a size 3 diaper for now...though maybe for not too much longer with his chunky thighs!
He is grabbing everything. He is grabbing spoons, cups, noses, tables, toys, toes -- you name it.
We also started real foods. So far we've done carrots, peas and a wee bit of avacado and banana. He does NOT seem to be a fan of peas. He also does not seem to b
e a fan of the high chair, but I hope that that will get better with time. He does love trying his sippy cup.
We're still not crawling or anything (as we are still not a fan of being on our tummy), but we love to lunge!
Nap time has become quite a trying experience for us all. Owen no longer likes to be rocked, but he doesn't quite know how to go to sleep on his own. So it's a lot of screaming and crying on both parties. Ugh.
However Owen is babbling and laughing, so when he isn't scream
ing, he's pretty darn cute.
Here's hoping for a super fun Christmas for all of us! We'
re road-tripping it to Houston, then back again for a second Christmas with the O'Brien clan!
