7 Months

Things Owen does now:

• sits by himself
• reaches for toys, paper, food, basically anything he's not suppose to have...
• grabs above said objects and passes them from hand to hand
• puts everything in his mouth (favorites include cell phones, keys, paper, your nose)
• pulls himself to a stand, particularly when Mama's not looking
• stands for a long time at a surface usually the window or his toy
• cruises the furniture
• pets (and chases) the cats
• crawls with his belly on or off the ground depending on his mood
• drums on whatever hard surface is in front of him
• "chews" his food
• throws temper tantrums

Generally speaking though, he's a very good baby. He's been to several picnics and family dinners at restaurants and he is a charmer. I love seeing bits of his personality developing even though I can see I'm in trouble because he's got a bit of a stubborn streak in him (he got that from his dad too!)

I am soooo content with my life right now. I really cannot imagine going back to school and eventually work even though I know I need to.And the time will come when I want to go back, but as of right now, I wish we could freeze time at seven months.
