Owen took his first steps yesterday! We missed getting his first few steps on video but got some shortly after. He seems pretty proud of his accomplishment!

We’ve been thinking lately that Owen might be able to climb up stairs soon. Our friend we are staying with has a cat and Owen will often try to chase the cat down the stairs -- but we always catch him before he gets going down. Yesterday he found himself at the base of the stairs and decided to take on the challenge. He struggled a bit with the first step, I ended up helping him out a little, but after that first step there was no stopping him, he had it figured out!

Our friend Jenny posted some new pictures of Owen and they look great! Check them out here.

Our friend Jenny took pictures of Owen again today. She took some pictures of him when he was just a couple of weeks old and did a great job. Owen was a good sport again today, but was a lot more active than the last time he had pictures taken! So far we have only seen the picture below, can’t wait to see the others!

Owen is getting very close to crawling, he still rolls around a bit while doing it but he’s getting better!

Owen recently figured out how to smack his lips and he thinks he is quite funny! This is one of my favorite videos of our son.

Owen has always been a smiley kid, especially right after he starts falling asleep. We usually don’t have the video camera handy to catch it but the other day I was wiggling him a little and he was loving it! He was smiling more before we got the camera out but we did manage to record a little bit of it!

Our friend Jenny did a photo shoot for Owen about a week ago, he was such a good sport! He let her take photos of him for nearly 2 hours before deciding he was done! We haven’t seen all of the pictures yet, but she posted some on her blog and I’m sure the others are going to be great!
