SiMpLe LiFe...: Owen's 5th month.

Owen will be 6 months old on Wednesday (wow!), so here's the rundown on the 5th month of little Owen's life:

You love to make noise...squealing, oohhing, babbling, and you're even starting to imitate sounds we make.
You rarely take your binky anymore, only if you are sooo sleepy & will be still enough to leave it in your mouth.
You are almost sitting up on your own. You sit up great in your bathtub & do pretty well with just a little help when you play on the floor.
You are rolling over like it's your job! You roll constantly & are also scooting on your belly. We've watched you get up on your knees a couple of times, so we know crawling is not too far away-oh my!
On stroller outings, you sit up in the stroller now & you love being able to see everything going on around you.
You love to touch our faces & unfortunately, you also love to pull everyone's hair.
Your hair has grown like crazy. You have enough hair that sometimes after you sleep it has a "messed-up look". It's the cutest thing ever.
You have become super ticklish especially on your deliciously chubby thighs and under your neck :-)!
You make the most adorable little "snorty face".
You love the simplest of things-the tags on your toys & blankets, and anything with buttons.
You love to read & lift-the-flap books seem to be your favorites.
You have learned that you can throw toys from your highchair...oh dear!
We love to play peek-a-boo together!
You are eating like a champ...your menu options include rice cereal, oatmeal, bananas, avocado, butternut squash, green beans, applesauce, and peas. Next up-pears & sweet potatoes (yummy!).
You have been so fixated watching us drink from cups so we bought you a sippy cup. It took you a little while to figure it out, but now you love drinking water from it & you think you are such a big guy.
We bought you a Baby Einstein stationary bouncer. It took you a little time to warm up to it, but now you love it & are getting the hang of bouncing in it.
This month, you celebrated your dedication at WBC & your first 4th of July.
You decided to adjust your sleep schedule this month (without my permission!) & some nights you reverted back to waking up several times to snack. Hopefully we're back on track, with you going to bed around 9p.m. & sleeping until about 6 a.m.
You love to sleep on your belly. We start on your back, but you always roll yourself over to get cozy on your belly.
