Owen had a doctor's appointment on his 6 month birthday. Grammy Penny was here while Chad had to go to South Carolina for work. He is weighing in at 17 pounds and 13 ounces. He is 27 inches tall and his head is 17 inches big. He is in the 75th percentile for all mesaurements. He also got some shots, I don't know if they're less fun for me or him.
We had a nice visit with Owen's Grammy Penny. It was truly a joy to see my mom with Owen. It truly gets harder and harder to live far away family, especially now that we have Owen.
Owen continues to grow and thrive. He has great dexterity when it comes to handling toys. He will roll from one end of the quilt to the other when he's on the floor playing. He shows happiness by laughing, smiling and shrieking. Really, our little boy is pretty happy all around. But he's funny in that he shows his displeasure by groaning and grunting. He can be kind of dramatic at times. In fact when he got his oral rotovirus vaccine he was making grunting and gagging noise, of which the nurse said, laughingly, she'd never heard a baby do. Yup, that's my boy.
Owen has been enjoying his solid food. He really likes his rice cereal. He has also tried bananas and avacado. Today after his nap, he's going to try some sweet potatoes. Once we get past him trying various foods and figuring out what he likes, and making sure he doesn't have any allergic reactions, I'm going to make his food. Yup, I'm going to be one of those mothers. :o)
Owen had his first Valentine's Day. He got a lot of cards and some Valentine stuffed animals from his Grammy and Auntie Lisa.
I think that's it for now. Just some pictures, of course.
Our happy boy:
