Eight Months!

Owen is now eight months ( okay...actually eight and a half, but things are busy around here! :)  He is sitting up by himself now, army crawling everywhere, and loving to play with everything that is NOT a toy (i.e. paper, cords, Mom's school work,etc.)  He is sleeping about 12 hours at night ( although he is still getting up once a night for a feeding).  He is a GREAT eater.  This is what he has been eating:  Fruits:  bananas, pears, mangoes, prunes, and apples.  Vegetables:  summer squash, butternut squash, green beans, green peas, carrots, sweet potatoes, zucchini.  We are going to try yogurt this week.  The only thing he does not like so far is avocado.  Of course, he still likes his cereal (rice and oatmeal).  We are working with water from a sippy cup, but he still loves his bottle!  He loves to be outside and play in his jumperoo.  It is an Olympic event to change his clothes or diaper... he rolls, lunges, sits up, etc.  It is rare that this boy is sitting still!  He loves to sit up in the grocery cart and look around.  He is working on a total of five teeth!  We are loving this age!  Happy Eight Months!
