Owen had his first taste of real food tonight. I introduced sweet potatoes to him, and they seemed to be a bit hit. This whole eating solids is still so new that Owen like to feel it all out, literally. The hands go in the mouth right after the food. It's a bit hard to keep him from doing it. Once on his hands, it goes everywhere.
Looks like stain treatment is a whole new beast!
Today Owen went to check on Elizabeth and Ruben, our wonderful neighbors across the street. For the first time, Owen seemed to be a bit shy around other people...I think Elizabeth and Ruben need to come over more often!
It may be week 5, but between being away, night games and not getting the games on TV...this is the first Saturday that I've been able to sit down and enjoy a Buckeye Football game with Owen. And what a perfect game to start off the big ten season. (OSU beat Minnesota, 34-21). I got Owen used to hearing Go Bucks chants, and at one point he was laugh out loud each time I said it.
Since the Olympics, Owen seems to like sports on TV. It's the only thing I allow on when Owen is around. We don't need a baby that watches TV, but for OSU I'll definitely make an exception! Daddy also loves the Red Sox, so this boy is going to be one crazy sports fans.
Summer is gone and the cool weather has moved in here in New England. Today we dressed Owen is this adorable fleece outfit that I bought him. It is so fun to put your child in cute clothes!
As you can see, feeding time is very interesting with Owen. He likes to feel the food and spread it all over the place. Sometimes he won't let go of the spoon, so he has to have one of his own. My guess is that about 40% of the food actually makes it into his stomach. It's a fun job trying to clean it all up when he's done!!!
Brian is back to working on Fridays, so it's just me and Owen chillin' out at home. Owen loves to be outside so we hung out in the backyard for a while. Who cares about laundry, or picking up the house or any of those endless chores when you can play with this cutie?
For his six-month birthday, we took Owen out to get a Rainforest Jumper. This has got to be the single, best activity center. Owen absolutely loves to jump in it. He has a big smile on face and bounces the entire time you put him in.
