Owen's first "swimming lesson" at the YMCA (where it's fun to stay!).

On February 20th, weighing in at a whopping 10lb 15oz, our friends Crystal and Vance welcomed baby Caiden to the world!

Owen found peaches to be a bit tart.

Notice, if you will, the complete lack of extra food around the mouth with the applesauce feeding. He didn't want to miss a drop (see below).

First, here's some of his other feedings to compare

 

Green Beans

 

 

Carrots

 

 

Garden Veggies

 

Sweet Potatoes

 

And finally...

 

Applesauce

Last night, Mike was holding Owen in front of the bedroom mirror and I was standing next to them. Owen saw me in the mirror, then turned and saw me standing next to him. He looked back and forth 5 or 6 times trying to figure things out. It was really cute.

It's official, Owen turning over all by himself! It's also official that it's hard to change him now.

Emily woke up this morning to find him sleeping on his stomach and ever since then he can't stay put. We're thinking of entering him in some log roll competitions.
