Owen's 6 month check-up

Owen turned 6 months December 18th!  Due to fussy baby after shots at the 4 month check up I did not stop to schedule his 6 month check up so when I called in later they could not get him in until today 1-4-2011.  So here are his stats 16 pounds 2 ounces (16th %)  28.5 inches long (94th %).  We talked about sleep with the dr. but she said we were doing all the right things.  He is not interested in drinking bottles much anymore and so she thought that he probably really is hungry in the night.  She suggested a sippy cup when we feed him his baby food to get more calories in him.   First attempt today went okay, he got a great big smile on his face when I gave it to him (he has loved Kendall's cups so he knew what to do).  He did not get a lot but did good for the first time.  Can't believe how big he seems holding a sippy cup! 
Some of the fun things Owen does at 6 months:
-Is a big talker
-Laughs and smiles a bunch
-reacts to sounds
-turns to see what is going on especially with Kendall
-says dada and for the first time today mom!
-responds to name
-plays with toys like crazy (loves to bang and hit with toys)
-sits up for short periods of time
-the dr. thinks he will be crawling within the month (not ready for that!) 

-loves his baby food






Owen is such a fun, happy baby! I feel so blessed to have him as my son.
