Notice that green basket back there under the swing? That used to be full of toys...and sitting on its bottom...and nowhere near that swing. Then Owen got ahold of it! Owen has started traveling around the room, not crawling, but somehow he is all over the place! He dumped out his whole toy bucket and then scattered them all around the room. We didn't mind though because he entertained himself for about 40 minutes doing it!
He's getting ready to crawl! This is Owen's newest trick, he gets up to a sitting position from his hands and knees and then back down to his hands and knees to crawl. So far he's just rocking and moving his knees a little bit but hasn't quite coordinated his hands and knees to move anywhere. Doesn't seem to be stopping him much.
The other day our big boy played with some puffs and attempted a pincher grasp! That's the first step to eating finger foods so I was pretty excited....yes, I'm a nerd and I don't care because it's not a bad thing to be excited about the small things in life!
Owen got his six month shots at his check up on Thursday. He did a really good job and hardly cried at all. He also met all his NINE month development goals! She was asking questions about what he's doing and apparently he surpassed all the goals of a six month old and went through the nine month goals too! He is 28 1/2 inches long and 18 pounds 14 ounces. He is still in the 90th percentile for height but dropped the the 60th for weight. The doctor said that since he dropped in percentile he should start eating more calories each day. We've now started three meals a day and his breakfast meal has rice cereal with breastmilk for some extra calories. He seems to enjoy the rice cereal so far. I'm not concerned about his percentile drop because he's started moving a lot and he's burning more calories. He's excited about getting to eat more often though!
