7 months

Since February is a weird month with only 28 days and since Owen is having surgery on Monday which is the last day of the month, I thought I'd go ahead and do his seven month picture and posting early.

At Owen's last doctor's appointment he weighed 20 lbs 5 oz! He doesn't skip any meals that is for sure!!! This month Owen began teething! Man he chews on anything he can get his hands on. When Mike or I go to kiss him or touch noses, he almost always tries to bite onto our nose or chin! We can feel the two bottom teeth emerging under the gums, but they haven't come through yet.

Here he is trying to bite his stuffed bear! This was the first month it was actually a little difficult to get his picture. 

Owen is now sitting up - for a second - on his own and is beginning to be aware of people he doesn't know. He is slowly sleeping longer through the night (from about 9 or 10 pm to about 6 or 7 am). It's been a long time coming but it's really nice to not be up at 4 or 5 am on a daily basis. Unfortunately, now when he wakes up at 6 am he stays up and he likes to use this early hour to perfect his screeching! It's kind of cute during the week when I have to get up and get ready, however on Sat morning it is just straight annoying!!

Lucky for Owen he has a killer smile and a very mellow personality so he gets away with a lot!!!

The last seven months have been overwhelming and exhausting, but they have been a wonderful time to spend with my beautiful baby boy!!! I can't wait to see what the next months and years hold for our family and for my sweet little man!
