Dear Owen: Month 6

Happy Half Birthday, Owen!

We got lots of snow for your 6 month birthday. I took you out yesterday in the snow, but you were so bundled up in your stroller that I'm not sure you really noticed the white stuff.

Your growth hasn't leveled off yet – you're still a giant. Your weight remains at the 95th percentile, but your height is now off the charts. And you're strong. Really strong. You're already getting up on all 4's and creeping backwards. Guess it's time for us to babyproof.

You really love your big brother. You smile whenever you see him and try to play with him. But, you're also quickly learning how to handle yourself so you're not a pushover. You scream when he touches a toy you're playing with and are known to take a big handful of his curls and give 'em a tug.

And, finally, you learned a new trick this month which makes me a laugh:

Love you big guy. We're excited to celebrate your first Christmas!
