We’ve come a long way in the past half year. Owen is the greatest joy in our lives and makes me, Jordan and Delaney beam with joy just when you look at him. He is cuddly, smiley, sweet, and has a positive energy we all could have only dreamed of.

At six months, we have made some AMAZING strides and are getting into a better routine of life. Here’s what’s new:

Height: 27 inches Weight: 18 lbs 9 oz

• On the eve of Owen’s six month birthday, he SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT! For five days prior, Jordan and I worked to cut his overnight feedings and it has paid off. This was a long time coming and lots of effort in sleep scheduling, but we did.
• Owen sits up without support and can roll both ways
• Loves to stand and doesn’t show much interest in crawling
• Ate his first food on his 6 month birthday – Avocado!
• Laughs at all of us, especially his sister
• Is very ticklist
• Still has dusty light brown hair and not much of it
• No teeth, but drooling a LOT so maybe they’re coming
• Eats every 2-3 hours throughout the day and gets very distracted, flipping back and laughing or smiling at whoever is around him
• Got bronchiolitis this month and was on a nebulizer for a week
• Celebrated his first Valentine’s day, giving Delaney a rose
• Spent a week in Florida with Aunt Phyllis and Emme, and got to see all but one great grandparent (4 of them!). This was incredibly special
• Loves the pool and dislikes the wind
• Sleeps in his sleep sack in his CRIB for all naps and overnight. It’s like hitting the lottery.
• Uses his pacifier for sleep, but also kinda hates it
