Update

Tonight is the week mark since we tried crying it out with Owen and I'm proud to report he has slept through the night every night since then! I'm still not convinced we are in the clear but it has been a great week! We tried crying it out for naps as well but he got so upset he ended up spitting up...eek! Freaked me out! So we still make him cry for naps to tire himself out but only up to a point. Then we go in and pick him up but he falls asleep fairly quickly (especially compared to before!!) He has done so well for only having done this a week that I'm not going to push the naps too much right now! (Let me remind you that we put him to sleep by holding him every time he needed to go to sleep or when he woke up too early either during the night or a nap!) He is doing so well and I am so proud of him! Thank you for your continued prayers! I love being Owen's mommy and I want to be sure I'm being the mommy God wants me to be! He didn't put a section in the Bible about baby's schedules!

Finally!

We've tried crying it out with Owen the past couple of nights and it has been worth it because Owen slept through the night last night!! For the first time ever!! He is 5 months old!! And he didn't even cry!! I'm so proud of my little baby!! Yay Owen!!!!!!

Happy Father's Day!

I want to wish my baby daddy a Happy 1st Father's Day! He has always been a great husband and friend but to see him be a dad has made me fall even more in love with him! He loves Owen so much and Owen makes him so happy! It is so cute to see them interact and smile and laugh with each other! I feel so blessed everyday that God would give me such an amazing husband who is such a loving father to Owen! Love you babe! Owen was sweet enough to roll over multiple times as his Father's Day present and Tyler was smart enough to get his phone out and get it recorded!

 

Owen Rolled Over!

Owen rolled over today!!!! And I didn't get it on video! :( I have been recording most of his tummy times lately because I could tell he was so close to rolling over but...not today! I had pretty much just laid Owen down on his tummy when all of a sudden he was on his back. Linda Fred and I looked at each other and went nuts!! He may have used my legs for leverage but he still did it! I'm a proud mommy!

Silly Baby

You look funny like this Daddy!

Swinger

Yes my son is a swinger! Jared and Allison were kind enough to give us their swing so we finagled it in Nana and Papa's tree. He loved it! (Not sure if it was just a coincidence or if he got a little nauseous but he ended up spitting up at the end of the ride!)

First Parade

Owen and I headed up to Story City to celebrate our heritage at the Scandinavian Days parade. (Daddy was golfing but joined us later!) Owen seemed to enjoy the sights and sounds, and even slept through some of it which I consider a miracle! I love being Norwegian and I love having candy thrown at me...combining the two sounds like a great way to spend a Saturday!!

The Willis kids were also at the parade (Note: Owen is 10 months younger than Kyla! Lol!)

New Noises

Owen has discovered he can make a new noise! It is hilarious to watch how hard he has to concentrate to do it though!

Hello Again!

I know it's been awhile since I've blogged but I was under the weather last week and not much of anything got done! So here I am to tell you not much has happened and I don't have any new pics of the baby to share! I know, I know...I will do better next time!
