5 Months!

"A babe in the house is a well-spring of pleasure,
a messenger of peace and love,
a resting place for innocence on earth,
a link between angels and men"

Another month has flown by!  This seems as though it has been a big month for Owen!  He is quite the social butterfly!  He will happily go to anybody's arms, greets others with a huge, open-mouth grin (punctuated by one deep dimple on his left cheek), 'chats' with coos and raspberries and my favorite--giggles! (once separation anxiety sets in, I'm sure many of these easy-going traits will change).  He likes to scoot backwards on his back while he's getting his diaper changed and is getting much more active in his jump-er-roo.  Owen has started eating oatmeal with baby fruit for breakfast and accepts peas and greenbeans for lunch and dinner.  We'll introduce the yummy orange veggies this next month.  Naturally, his standby favorite activity is still watching his big brothers, though, bath is a close second.

Owen truly has such a tender spirit and sweet disposition.  Looking forward to watching him grow and change this next month!  Here's hoping that sleeping through the night will be on that list! :)
