Owen is such a sweet little guy and the best cuddle bug around. He LOVES to be in someone's arms and you'll rarely hear a peep out of him if he is. Perfectly content snuggling up with someone. Such a change from his big sis as a babe. We thought Reese was a great sleeper so I was shocked to discover Owen is even better. He takes two great two hour naps a day and sometimes a cat nap in the early evenings. You can just put him in his sleep sack, turn his sheep on and out he goes. No fuss whatsoever. As if naps weren't good enough, he is a champion nighttime sleeper too, going down around 7:30pm and up around 7:00am! We are certainly counting out blessings in the sleep department.
At his 6 month well baby, he weighed in at just over 18lbs which is just above the 50th percentile. He's a strong little guy too, rolling both ways around 3 months and is full on crawling now too. In the past couple weeks, he's started to pull himself to standing and seems so proud of himself when he does. I can't say I'm quite ready for him to be mobile though. Time to baby-proof the house!
It usually takes a little work to get giggles out of him, but big sis Reese can get a good belly laugh from him with little effort. He loves his big sis and that love is most definitely returned ten-fold! When Reese gets home from 'school' she runs in the house looking for Po (as we've come to call him).
He is also a great eater and lights up when he sees his bottles. He was a little leery about his first tastes of rice cereal but is eating an entire bowl with gusto now! He loves other things we've tried too like carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, rutabaga, apples and blueberries. Rice rusks and puffs keep him busy while we're getting his food ready but he hasn't quite mastered the task of getting them to his mouth.
I can't believe how fast the time is flying by. Life with two kids was a big adjustment at first but we couldn't imagine life without two now!
