5 months and a tooth

Owen is 5 months old today. He has been biting and drooling for weeks now and we were hopeful that he would cut a tooth soon. Today I stuck my finger in his mouth and there was a little something sharp poking through. Here is my best attempt to get a picture... I said attempt.
It's there, right by my finger.We are still working at sitting up. He's getting better, but still quite wobbly.

He is growing up way too quickly!

Wedding Weekend

We traveled to DesMoines this weekend for a wedding. I was a little nervous about having Owen in a hotel room for 2 nights, but he did great! We also got to spend 2 nights with our good friends in adjoining rooms. Above is Owen (5 months) and Brenden (11 months). Yes, they do look like they are the same size. They pretty much are. Brenden is maybe an inch taller and has a few pounds on Owen, but they are very close in size. My big fatty and Ashley's lil' man!Owen constantly plays with his toes.Owen in his new "rock star" outfit... after I turned it around since daddy put it on backwards!
He's ready for the pool. It was his first time in the pool and he liked it. I'm excited for the summer!One of many attempts at a decent family photo. We match... not even on purpose, but I think we look nice. Owen does not like the sun, plus it was windy, so this was the best picture we got. Better luck next time!

Roll Over

Owen's new favorite toy... thanks Zoe for the hand-me-down! Video of Owen "rolling over" The little stinker would NOT finish rolling over until I turned the camera off. I tried 4 times and not even 10 seconds after I would turn the camera off, he'd roll over! Oh, this is him talking... he's not upset.

Happy Wednesday

What a beautiful day. We got out this morning to enjoy the weather from the town park.

Who is this?

He's sitting up. He sits for 10-20 seconds unsupported. When did that happen? When did he grow up so much? Who is this little man?

Also, I just want to show you a picture of us trying to get him to sleep. He now fights sleep so much that we have to put this blankie (courtesy of aunt Jen) over his face just to get him to calm down enough to fall asleep. What a stinker!

He rolled over...

He finally rolled over. I put him down like this. He did a whole lot of this.
Then, for the less than 2 minutes I got up to do something, He did this.
And I missed it!!!!! I have been trying the rest of the day to get him to do it again, but no luck. I'm seriously questioning whether I really did leave him on his tummy, but I know that I did. Oh well, maybe he'll show off for me tomorrow.
I added this picture to O's room today. I am pretty proud that I did hang this all by myself. Quite a big accomplishment for me since I mostly just rely on my FIL to do those things for me. I also painted the letters and added them to the frame with some gorilla glue. And finally, Keith walked by the laundry room last night and giggled to himself, "its like he kicked his shoes off when he came in from playing outside." (notice his little shoes sitting on the floor) Having a child in the house has been the best change I could have ever imagined!
