Owen 8 months


My little guy is getting so big! I can't believe I am already starting to think about his birthday! I love how his personality is developing and watching him grow everyday, but I wish I could make time slow down. His first year is passing by too quickly.

At 8 months, Owen:

-is very efficient with his army crawling. He is moving toward crawling on all fours, but seems happy to scoot along on his belly for now.
-Is moving out of 9 month clothes and in to 12 months.
-Babbles constantly! "dada" and "mama" are his favorites so far.
-loves to mimic! He mimics sounds he hears and actions he sees.
-loves, loves, loves his sister. His face lights up the moment he sees her. :)
-likes to bang on everything
-can self feed really well, but is still happy eating the purees I make for him.
-loves to play with any cord or outlet he can find (and he can find them all). He is also a big fan of splashing in the dog water. (lucky me!)
-loves bath time. He will crawl into his bathroom and bang on the tub any chance he gets.
-is starting to pull himself to stand. He is a little wobbly, but getting stronger each day.
-just got his first two teeth (on the bottom)

Owen still has a pretty mellow personality (like his Daddy, complete opposite from Caroline...and Mommy) but is definitely a chatty little guy. He sleeps well and loves his cuddle time. I love watching him discover new things...I just adore my little guy!

Silly


I know you aren't supposed to compare your kids but I think it is so funny to see how many similarities there are. I have been going through Caroline's baby pictures and I have found quite a few that are similar to pictures we have taken of Owen. These two have completely different personalities and don't really look alike, but as babies, they sure do like to play the same!

Caroline was less happy about being under there. :)

Weekend in Tahoe



We have been spending a lot of time at our cabin in Tahoe and it is starting to come together. We are loving being able to go up anytime we want and stay as long as we can! This past weekend we went because our Home Owners Association in Truckee had a Fall Festival, and we decided to hit up Apple Hill on our way home yesterday.

Such a happy girl!
