Owen is nine months old (two days ago). Today he went in for his checkup at the doctor's office. Diagnosis: ear infection. Who knew? He's been happy and sleeping fine too. Also he is tracking low on his growth curve so they drew his blood for an analysis. We went through a few tests with Adam too because of his weight. But Owen weighs even less, currently he is not on the charts at just over 16 pounds. Darn. For his sake we'd better get some more fat in our diets the both of us.
Currently Owen has two teeth on the bottom, but the top ones are trying really hard to get through. He rolls all around on the floor but is not crawling or scooting yet. We guess that is coming soon because he is really trying hard now to get places. If he's really motivated he'll turn over onto his back and he can push with his feet against the carpet to get himself forward a few inches. Yes, this is pretty funny to watch.
Owen's nicknames:
O's: Mark and Dallin
Dallin likes the nickname Mark has been using so he decided to use it too. The other day Dallin said to Owen "hey buds," then he added to me, "I was going to call him buddy, but then I just decided to call him buds."
I tend to use various nicknames or terms of endearment for little O. I realized that basically I take one prefix from column A and one suffix from column B and merge them.
Column A:
Owen
SweetAngel
Baby
Column B:
babe
cake
sweet
So we end up with stuff like these: Owenbabe, Sweetcake, Angelcake or Angelsweet, you get the idea.
This little guy is sure loved around here.

Hey, I know we were a bit more premature, but Leta rang in at 15 pounds on her 9 month - but somehow managed a 4% range (which I don't get if Owen isn't on the charts). But fat is always good to add to diets :)
