8 Months

Owen is already 8 months old, and the biggest update of this last month has been...teeth! Owen broke 4 teeth on the top in the last month. Three of which came through at the very same time, which actually landed us in the emergency room when he very uncharacteristically inconsolable for about 3+ hours one evening. Being that it was the night following the return from our trip to Hawaii, we were concerned it could have been his ears (from the flight, perhaps?) but while at the hospital, the nurse commented on the 3 teeth that just came through. What teeth?! There were no teeth earlier that afternoon! Ah...no wonder he was hurting. Poor baby! In addition to the new teeth, 8 months has Owen sitting very well on his own (how fun to sit him on a blanket with some toys, and watch him play!), loving the sound of his own voice (his newest sound is a growl - usually out of excitement. So funny!), splashing in the bathtub, and waving goodbye. We know crawling is just around the corner...but no rush. :) We love watching Owen discover the world and look forward to another fun month!
