Owen is 9 Months Old!

Owen is getting so big so fast!  He's now crawling with little if any belly flopping.  He's found many of the rooms in the house and is busy exploring!  Kitchen and bathrooms not yet, thankfully! He's also starting to pull himself up along furniture.  There have been quite a few little falls on our hard tile.  Not fun!

Outside is fun!  He loves to explore our freshly (last season) planted grass.  And I can tell he really wants to keep up with Michael.  He had the best time pushing this truck around.  Just like the big boy!

He has two little bottom teeth and many more coming in.  Our little joy boy is slightly less so lately with all the teething.

Michael seriously loves this little gnome hat and loves to see everyone in it.  Oops, wrong way Michael.

That's better.

We're teaching Owen a little sign language.  He knows how to sign "all done" and today was the first time he signed "more", as in  "more bananas", his favorite.

He's playing little games now.  Michael taught him a goofy thing where he lifts his head back and squints his eyes and smiles.  Owen does this now and think it's just hilarious.  And we play "can I have some of that?".  Where I ask him if I can have some and then he gives me a taste and laughs & laughs.  I guess it's just plain funny for a baby to see their Mommy "drink" from a sippy cup or taste a teething biscuit.  Who knew?!
