It's been so long since I have posted, I thought that I would just lump everything into one post for each kid so they may be rather long - Sorry!!
Owen is 6 months already! I can't believe how fast this time went and how quickly my return to work is coming. I am trying to treasure every moment. Owen is still quite the eater and has just become more so since starting solids. He is a fan of solid food and is now eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner along with his milk. He loves all vegetables except peas (we are going to try this again soon) and most fruits though peaches and mangoes are not his favorites. I finally have him on a schedule, but true to fashion, this month is so crazy with birthday parties, easter egg hunts, and tee ball games so poor Owen has to adapt to Gavin's busy schedule. However, I pretty sure that this is not going to change so we might as well initiate him to our lives - God knows Gavin got his dose when he was Owen's age.
Owen is also doing everything possible to try to crawl, but hasn't quite figured out how to move forward yet unless he is flopping on his belly. He has been able to get up on all fours for a while and to move he simply throws his body forward and lands on his belly. On Sunday, 1 May, Owen did start Army crawling! I am so excited, but I have to do a better job at baby proofing. Of course I have to worry about Gavin's lovely Legos on the floor as well. This is a great time to really focus on not letting Gavin get away with leaving his toys lay around.
He also sits up on his own very well. He has been perfecting this for quite a while, but I finally felt comfortable letting him get a real tub bath. Up until this time, he has hated every second of bath time but thank goodness - he loves to splash so this is now one of his favorites. I really don't understand where the time went!
