Owen has made a lot of changes this month and is becoming much more mobile. In the beginning of the month he started pulling himself up into a standing position and would often cry because he didn't know what to do. Now he is constantly pulling himself up, but is still not quite cruising around the furniture yet.
Standing has made putting him to bed interesting, however, because he will stand up and cry and doesn't know how to get back down and settle himself to sleep. So the sleep training we did previously seems to have gone out the window for the time being, as we have to go in to his room, comfort him and lay him back on his tummy. Hopefully this won't last for long.
At the beginning of the month, Owen was a saint and was sleeping in until some time between 7 and 9 am. It was amazing. That only lasted about a week. But just like everything else, I figure he'll phase in and out of different sleep habits.
He has also learned how to climb. He climbs up onto the dishwasher door when it is open, into cupboards, over mounds on the floor, etc.
Owen loves to empty bags, boxes or containers and refill them. He also likes to put his pacifier into empty containers.
He also loves to hold his extra pacifiers and will rotate them from his mouth to his hands and back and forth. This has helped to keep him entertained while changing his diaper (something he does not enjoy).
He has started to share his cheerios and food with me. It's really cute when he attempts to feed me.
He likes to drag things around with him when he's crawling throughout the house. For a while there he got pretty attached to this tiny plastic bowl we had and would crawl everywhere while holding it in one of his hands.
He popped out his front two teeth within a week of each other. We had some unenjoyable teething time for a while there, but he did alright.
He loves to follow the vacuum around and will chase me throughout the house as I vacuum.
Owen loves other kids and babies and enjoys having play dates with them.
He's super silly and has started taking his cheerios, lifting his hands high in the air, and dropping them. This eventually morphed into him placing them on top of his head.
We love our silly, fun, little boy. He has such a darling personality and we really enjoy the time we have with him.
