Happy 8 month birthday Owen Nicholas!

Owen is 8 months old today! He's changing so much. We are amazed at all the things he has learned to do. We had to put the crib mattress down a level because any day now he's going to start pulling himself up. I have to admit I was a little sad about it. He's starting to scoot and roll all over the place. There are so many things to look forward to but it's hard to see him get more and more independent. Now when we pick him up he reaches to get back down. Diaper changes and getting him dressed have now turned into wrestling matches. As soon as you get one leg in and start working on the other he kicks the first leg out. It's turning into a two person job!
He is really starting to enjoy finger foods. Some of his favorites are pasta, bananas, pears, and steamed apples. He thinks he is such a big boy feeding himself now. He really goes crazy for the veggie puffs. He makes a lot of noise when he recognizes the yellow container. This kid loves to eat and will eat just about anything. He must get that from his dad because his mama is a picky eater.


I had a hard time picking out a few pictures.... so I used them all. He's just too cute!
