We really can't believe that Owen is 6 months old! He's come a long way from the teeny 5 pound 5 ounce baby we brought home from the hospital last October! When he was born he was in the 2nd percentile for his weight and now he is in the 95th percentile-weighing in at 20 pounds!
Unfortunately, Owen has developed asthma over the past few months and has spent some time in the ER. We're learning to control it with breathing treatments and just calming him down when he gets too worked up. His pediatrician is beginning to examine some other causes for his constant congestion-she thinks he may have some kind of GI issue as well. But for all of his ailments, he's a happy little baby! He's currently dealing with teething, but he's smiley and laughs a lot!
Owen took his first trip to Kentucky over Easter and had a great time! He was really good on the plane with the exception of a 20 minute cry at the end of the flight to Kentucky. He got to meet lots of new friends and family members! Most importantly, he got to meet his cousin Brielle! Luke's sister Leslie had her baby girl 2 days before we arrived! Owen looks like a monster next to her, but she'll be catching up soon! We are looking forward to more trips to Kentucky in the future!
In August, Owen will be a cousin again because Rose's sister Ginger will be having a baby! He's excited to have a cousin living so closely by!
He has some new pictures posted in the photo album on the left! Check out how much he's grown!
