7 month update

As Owen turns 7 months here is a running list of what made life with Owen special in February:


Owen is....
  • a stronger sitter
  • can spin around on his tummy... he has mastered the 360.


  • can grab onto EVERYTHING (prompting mommy to cut her hair)
  • eating solids (yea!) and producing aromatically-challenged diapers (boo!)

  • barely fitting into his car seat (but one of his parents is too cheap to buy a new one)
  • "treads water" with arms when excited
  • loves to "chase" mommy up and down the stairs

  • on a set schedule... sleeps 7pm-7am (with a quick feeding at 5am weekdays), 10-12:30pm, 3-4pm.
  • smiling and laughing at EVERYTHING. Not to toot our own horn or anything, but mommy and daddy should be singers and entertainers of the year.
  • loving cellphones, both real and toy.
  • surviving the town's record snowfall (daddy is a little upset that Owen has not volunteered to shovel the driveway yet)

Owen also received his first "Boo-boo report" from school (according to Owen the exersaucer just jumped out and hit him). With the way he is uncontrollably swinging his rattles around his head these days, it looks like there will be many more to come!

Stud muffin Owen picked up 12 valentines this past February. Pretty good for still living with his parents and wearing diapers. Just like his onesie says "lock up your daughters" He can wow the ladies both young and old!

What a great idea! Tyler and I were very excited to see new pictures of Owen and hear his updates. It's a nice way to feel like we're not so far away, especially since he changes so fast. Keep the updates coming!

Nick? Too cheap to buy a new car seat?? Yeah, that sounds about right actually. That kid will be using that car seat when he's 11 if I know Nick. "Quit complaining, there's kids in Africa who'd LOVE to have that car seat!" "Yeah Dad, they're called INFANTS!!" Come on Nick, get the kid a new car seat already!! And while you're at it, don't you still owe me $50...?

P.S. When's the next Old Fashioned tour?!
