BYU Cougars... Q&A

Hey Owen, how do you think BYU will do tonight in their big game?


'Hmm... good question.'


 'Let me think about it.'


'I'm feeling a win!' 


Come on Cougars, don't let your youngest fan down!

6 months!

My baby is now 6 months old.  I know I say it each month, but how is that even possible?!

His 6 month stats are:

Weight= 18 lb, 5 oz  64%
Length= 28 1/4 in     94%
Head= 17 3/4 in        83%

I know 1st year stats aren't necessarily indicative of growth later in life... but who knows-- just maybe Owen will have some height in him!

Owen is such an awesome little boy.  I don't know how we got so lucky to have him in our family, but I am surely blessed to be his mom.  Maybe this is making up for all the tears I shed when starting our family took so long.

Owen is an eater.  He loves all food and we haven't found anything he won't eat.  He is enjoying all of the new fruits and vegetables we give him, but he especially loves the table food we sneak to him here and there.  Unfortunately, he has had a few reactions to certain things so we have to be really careful to what he tries.  He still sleeps like a champ.  Two naps during the day, each 1 1/2-2 hours long, and then sleeping for 12 hours at night.  It is wonderful.  He is enjoying the newfound freedom of rolling around and is starting to figure out all the fun toys we always give to him.  No teeth or words yet, but I have a feeling it is right around the corner!

Owen definitely does not like to be constrained or held in our laps.  He has to be moving.  Playing on the floor is his most favorite thing right now.
