6 Months Old

Owen is six months!  1/2 a year has passed and this is what he's up to these days. We go to the Dr. tomorrow for his check up so I'll update his stats then.

Dr. Visit 7/30 - Owen didn't cry today when he got his shots.  He got 4 shots (2 in each leg) and an oral medication.  I gave him a little sugar water just before.  I read this in  the Parenting magazine the other day and it worked!  I love those magazines.  They have such good information.
