5 Whole Months!

Owen's five month "birthday" is just two days away...how did that happen?!  We are blessed with a pretty happy baby.  Who knew that a gummy little smile and sweet little giggle could bring so much joy and fulfillment to our lives.  It's really a little pathetic how in awe we are of this little guy. I'm sure we have spent countless hours just staring at him.  It might be on the verge of obsessive, but we are enjoying each moment, knowing these days are once in a lifetime. 

We have really started having fun this last month.  Owen loves rolling from his back to his tummy, and is really building up all those little muscles. He loves sitting up and checking everything out.  You can almost see the wheels turning, as he just soaks it all in.  We take full advantage of the "Bumbo" seat, but he is so close to sitting on his own.  He is grasping onto everything, including my hair and Brandon's glasses, and loves giving everything a little taste.  Toys are fun for a while, but I think he really prefers face to face interaction, where he likes to test out his voice.  His latest thing is a Mariah Carey-esque squeal when he really wants to get his point across.  Maybe we have the next Justin Beiber on our hands?!  This 9lb adorably cuddly little sack of flour has quickly grown into a wiggly, giggly18 lb little person.  It is wonderful watching his personality emerge.  So far we have a little talker who likes to be the center of attention! 

One of the coolest things about having Owen around is how much it has changed my relationship with Brandon.  Even though our relationship has always been pretty solid, I feel totally honored to have him as my partner in crime. He is a pretty kick-ass daddy and that is hard not to love and respect.  I am feeling blessed beyond belief and so grateful.  I've never been crazy about new year resolutions, but this year I want to focus on being present and enjoying every moment.  Life can change in the blink of an eye, and I don't want to take a minute of the good stuff for granted. 

Happy 5 Months to my Love Bug!  and Happy New Year to everyone!
