Some tummy time to strengthen his core.

A sweet angle - he loves laying on his side.

Looks comfortable, doesn't it?

There aren't any big stories to go with these pictures, but they capture more of what Owen is like these days. Enjoy!

Bumbo Fun for Owen

Our friends Dave and Marybeth Kulp have let us borrow their daughter's "Bumbo" Seat. It is a seat that you can set your baby in as soon as they can steady their head. It helps them to strengthen their core muscles and have a new perspective on life. We sat Owen in it for the first time Sunday night at the Kulp's - he loved it! Here are a few pictures of Owen enjoying his new chair. Isn't it amazing that our little boy can already "sit up!"

Our first posting

We thought we'd start a blog to share what is going on with our family - mostly what is going on with Owen. This way we can tell you something about the pictures we're posting. We'll see how this goes :)

It really amazes us how quickly our little boy is "growing up" or at least how quickly he's changing! Over the course of the last two weeks, he has really changed a lot. He started sleeping through the night consistently about 1 week ago! What a blessing that is! He is now very drooly - there seems to be a constant stream coming out of his mouth. He is also so much better at reaching for and grabbing toys. His favorites are link-a-do rings and his little friend "T" the turtle. He often will grab them and put them in his mouth too. And, if no toys are around, we'll often find him laying on his side (new too) sucking his hands and jabbering away. He's rolled over from his stomach to his back two times. He is also very talkative - some of his favorite "words" are: "Agoo", "O", "Abu", and "oooeaaiiuuu." He's found a bunch of different pitches that his voice will make too. We classify them as his sweet sounds and his loud sounds. He tell him we prefer the sweet sounds. Sometimes he chooses the loud ones. Oh well. We keep wondering if he'll be introverted or extroverted. Only time can tell I guess. Very fun! Amazing how much babies change in 3 1/2 months! We're really enjoying these new phases.

Stay tuned for more updates!
