5 months!!!

Mommy and Owen at Disneyland! He loved breakfast with the characters (pretty much the only event we made).
Precious! By the way, this was not staged!

"It's a pirates life for me."

This is how I found Owen in his crib one day before his bath. I guess he can roll over after all.

My sweet boy!

The "whole" family!

Chick magnets at Avila Barn!

"Ummmm guys...no one said it was supposed to taste like this." (Owen's first taste of cereal).

Handsome!

Milestones:
-Currently weighs 17 pounds, 4 ounces and measures 26 inches long.
-Eats 6 ounces about every 3 hours. We are now trying cereal and oatmeal for breakfast and dinner. He seems to like it somewhat. Tonight we tried sweet potatoes for the first time...it was a hit.
-Owen decided to change his sleeping schedule and no longer sleeps through the night. It is pretty much a fact that I wake up between 1 am and 3 am every night for a quick feeding. Still can't resist this boy when he smiles at me in the middle of the night. It melts my heart...seriously!
-Goes to day care 3 days a week and spends the other 2 days with Grandma and Grandpa Lambert.
-Laughs when you tell him his feet stink?!?!?
-Loves to play in his exersaucer.
-Fell in love with his "sissy," Lucy and his feet!
-Still has a blocked tear duct and a crooked butt crack! (Laney loved this :(...miss her so much!)

What we are working on for month 6: rolling over, giggling, sitting up, and sleeping in his crib (if Matt will let me leave him in there).

I will have to say month 5 has been totally amazing! He is so much fun right now. I could not love this boy anymore.

This month Owen's "teachers" said he has really become more independent, thanks to having his cousin Mason to depend on at "school." It is said that Owen and Mason feed off of each other's cries at school. Uh oh, do we hear trouble in the future?!?! Soon there will be 4 cousins/friends at day care...Owen, Mason, James Taylor, and soon...McKayla Gustafson. Watch out Marian Children's Center!

Harvest has been pretty slow for Matt this year. With this crazy weather, the crop has produced low yields this year. Fortunately, I have had some extra hands at home, which has been great for Owen and I.

Owen and I made our first attempt at Disneyland! Let's just say he has a few more years before he is able to enjoy it (and mom too). The best part of the trip was Owen spending time with his cousin's Ellie and Levi. We went to celebrate Ellie's 3rd birthday! Such a sweetheart! We finally made our first ride around 8:00 pm and Owen was sound asleep in the front pack. The second best part of the trip...meeting up with my best friend Ally and her son Karter! It was great to see the boys together again!
