Owen 8 months

Owen pumpkin,

You are now 8 months old!!! You are such a sweet boy and our love for you seriously grows every month!

This has been a busy month because you have started crawling, sitting up, and trying to pull up on stuff!  You started out crawling really slow, but now you are so fast and we have to keep our eyes on you our little runaway boy!  You are so funny when you spot something, start taking off towards it, then turn around to see if me or your dad is watching you.  It is so cute! 




You LOVE to play with your toys and anything else you can get your hands on for that matter.  You are very content playing by yourself, but you love for me and your daddy to play with you also.




You love being outside and have gone on several walks, swang at the park for the first time, and went to the pumpkin patch with your cousins. 




You giggle so much now!  Things that make you giggle are the dogs, your daddy's funny faces, and anytime you get tickled or blowed on. 

You had your first ear infection this month.  They prescribed you amoxicilin and you LOVE it.  Your daddy says, "let's take your bubble gum."  Ha!

Also, at your dr. appointment you weighed 19 pounds.  You are such a long boy, although we don't know how long you are now.  You wear anywhere from 9-12 month clothes. 

You love to eat!  You are taking 4 bottles a day that equal 24 ounces.  You have started holding your own bottle this month.  You are on stage 2 foods now and you eat several different fruits, veggies, and meats.  Also, you have started to give yourself baby snacks.  You like the Gerber cheetos, Mums crackers, and the spiral puffs.  You have started taking a little bit of water or baby juice from a sippy cup too. 




You have two teeth coming in on the bottom.  They are almost out and we are very grateful because watching you cut teeth is no fun!

We cannot imagine our lives without you.  You are such a joy and a sweet, precious baby.  We love you "pumpkin", "beefcake".
