7 Months!

More like 7 and a half months, but better late than never.  Owen is now seven months old, and will be eight in a couple of weeks!  No doctor appointment this month, but he is certainly growing.  9 month clothes are getting snug.

This guy is still trying to figure out the crawling thing, and he can move backwards, but can't go forward.  He will start kicking those legs and try so hard but gets so mad when he's not getting anywhere.  He will roll back and forth from his tummy to his back trying to get somewhere, and somehow it works!  He loves to stand.  He pulls up every time I grab his hands and he is now trying to pull up anytime he gets his hands on something that will work.  He's done it a couple of times now.  He is full of smiles and laughs when he is standing like he is just the coolest guy in town.

Football season is back

Who knew ribbon could be so fun

The King of Arendelle, according to Mady

We got a visit form Grandpa Hamp

As for sleeping, we are officially on a two naps a day schedule and sleeping (for the most part) through the night.  He might wake up once or twice looking for the paci, but he goes right back to sleep.  Naps are about an hour and a half to two hours.  Of course, being the second kid means we don't always stick to a schedule and have things to do, but he is so flexible and just goes with the flow.  He is a champ when it comes to eating, and loves everything, even avocado!  I tried and tried to get Mady to eat avocado when she was a baby and she hated it, but this guy loves it.

As he gets older, him and Mady are "playing" more and more together.  She loves making him laugh, and it doesn't take much for him to laugh at big sister.  

The first of many big sister conversations

Morning snuggles

The little baby who spent most of his first few months screaming and crying is now the most chill, relaxed, happy little guy.  I never would of guessed.  He is full of smiles and laughs, will let anyone hold him, and is so flexible.  We just love him so much and couldn't imagine our lives without him.

Of course, I have to throw in a couple of my crazy silly girl!

Blue vanilla ice cream!

Didn't take long for her to become a river girl

This is no ribbon, it's Mady's puppy.  She pulls it along, and I made the mistake of standing on it one day and she got so upset because I was standing on her puppy and hurt him.  I had to give the puppy a kiss to make it better.  I make sure to watch where I step now.  Love her imagination!
