Owen is 10 Months Old...

Look at me! I figured out how to stand up in my crib Mom!

Balancing the ball on my feet!

On August 15, Owen turned 10 months old! It just doesn't seem possible. He is progressing right along in the movement category. He is enjoying transitioning easily from crawling (his version with a lot of belly contacting the floor) to sitting and back again. However recently, he started standing up. Just three days after he turned 10 months, I couldn't figure out why he wasn't going to sleep for his afternoon nap. He was chatting away, but didn't sound like he was even trying to sleep. Well, needless to say, I found him standing in his crib and he was just giddy with he his new accomplishment. It was priceless to see his grin! Fortunately, this hasn't been a problem for sleeping after the initial couple days of experimenting (instead of napping).

Owen is still loving his food. I've tried making a few homeade food dishes for him, but he doesn't gulp them down quite like he does his baby food. I tried some ground up chicken mixed with veggies and breast milk, and he did eat it, but just not as quickly as he does his other food. He loves to drink from the sippy cup now and is much more quick at consumption. It used to take him several minutes to get an ounce down, and now he drinks a whole 5 oz cup in one day between two meals. He is still sleeping great, although has been waking up a bit earilier in the morning (around 6:00am). Maybe a phase (we are praying!!). He's so easy going and cheerful! We are blessed!
