He is starting to sit, sort of. I have to position his arms and legs into the perfect tripod in order for him to keep himself balances. And even then, if he turns his head to fast, he comes crumbling down. Which he thinks is pretty hilarious. Things he loves right now are chewing on things, grabbing Jackson's fur, sitting up, and he loves waking up in the morning. He is definitely a morning person! Which is turning us into morning people too...sometimes. His great morning moods are pretty contagious. I've got to get a video of it soon. I'll show it to him when he's a grumpy teenager too sleepy to get up for school. Or maybe he'll be this awesome forever? It's not completely impossible. People keep chiming in with their uninvited advice telling me to "watch out, he's about to turn into a nightmare." Well you warned me about pregnancy-aced it, you warned me about childbirth-breezed through that, you warned me about how breast feeding won't work-I've got milk, you warned me about sleepless nights-nope, and now this? Just stop it. There are exceptions to every rule. Owen proves everyone wrong. Here's what I've discovered about all of this: some people like to poop on your parade and shower you with their negative experiences. If I speak to a pregnant woman, I make sure to tell them about how great my birth experience was, how wonderful a sleeper Owen is. I don't do this to brag (although it is a braggable topic) I do this because every book, blog, or woman I heard from told me awful stories. It needs to stop. Have a freaking positive outlook, invision a good experience. If all you think about is bad stuff...guess what? All you see or notice or experience will be bad. If you're a negative person you probably have a negative life. If you're positive, you're probably awesome and I want to be your friend.
Happy 5 months of life little Owen! We love you so much :)
What a cutie! Glad to hear things are going well!
