Six Months Old!

Today Owen is six months old! What a wonderful half year this has been. And we only have 6 more months of the infant stage. Currently, Owen weighs 18 lbs and 13 oz and is 25 1/2 inches long. What a big boy!

We have had a lot of changes in the last couple weeks. Owen moved from his infant car seat to a larger car seat that he'll stay in until he's a least 3 years old. Also, he has started trying to sit up. Yesterday, we went out for lunch after church and he sat in a highchair for the first time. He did great!! He also ate a bunch of my mashed potatoes and got tons of ohhhs and ahhhs from the surrounding diners. Savannah is starting to really notice that Owen is getting the attention that she used to get and is really going out of her way to redirect it to her...it usually goes something like this, "Oh, what a cute little baby! How old?" and then Savannah talks over me, "Hi! I am three and I have curly hair. My name is Savannah and I have a dog named Hogan." It's kind of cute and kind of pathetic :( Poor Vannie.

Owen spends a lot more time awake now and is even bearing weight on his legs. He also is really getting into the toys and I think he is beginning to teeth. He puts everything in his mouths and loves to have his bottom gums rubbed. Hopefully we'll be seeing some teeth soon! This month is also going to be a hard one for Owen because he is scheduled to have a hormone injection, regular six month shots, and surgery at the end of February. Poor baby!
