Seven Months

Owen and I followed Dallin and Adam outside today to enjoy the beautiful weather. A few minutes later they ended up back inside so we had a few moments to snap some photos and smile at eachother.



Dear little Owen is sitting up by himself well now. He is enjoying his solid foods and is a good little eater. A couple of days ago I put some frozen diced bananas on his tray and he tried so hard but as far as I know he couldn't get one to his mouth.

Though I must admit that I wasn't watching too well so I don't really know. If you have a baby, here is a tip: when your bananas get just a little too ripe dice them up and spread them out on wax paper and freeze. Once frozen transfer them to a freezer bag and you have a great treat for baby. Throw them on a tray or mix them up with some cereal. No need to defrost because they get mushy almost on contact with baby's mouth. (That's my experience anyway, you know best for yours.)

Anyway, back to this cute kid:

Owen has gotten more playful. He thinks it's fun to shake his head back and forth really fast at you. He is an awesome little sleeper and takes great naps. He is occasionally still up once in the middle of the night, but most nights sleeps all night. Basically, he's perfect. And his brothers wouldn't even be jealous of me saying so because they are beside themselves with how much they love their baby brother. Someday I intend to write down every nice thing either Dallin or Adam says about Owen. It would included multiple comments like these:

• Isn't Owen so cute?
• Owen's being silly, mom
• I love my baby brother
• Owen laughed at me
• Owen, you're a sweet baby
• It's okay, I'm right here Owen (Adam's been saying this one recently)

And on and on and repeat. Oh, the love a baby brings into a house.
