Lots to report on the development of my little man!
His new point of pride (and mom's too) is that he has learned how to wave - at first it was more of an accidental thing - and starting around the last week in Feb he does it intentionally - he will wave at anyone who is around him and smiles so proudly as he does it - he even waves at the babies in his Baby Einstein video! Here he is, waving (just a little in this clip - I've really got to get a cute waving session on film) and also screaming at the cat (see below for details on his love for the cat) - notice how he tries to wave while he's screaming but he's just so excited, he can barely do it (so cute!)...
Mobility-wise, Owen has no interest in crawling or even rolling over for that matter - I think he'll be the type of kid who bypasses the crawling stage and just takes off walking! He's already started to pull himself up to standing. While he's sitting on my lap, he'll grab on to the exersaucer and just stand right up!
His newest discovery is the cat! Usually he screams (a gleeful scream) when he first sees her and then continues to scream like a mad man until she leaves his line of vision. When she comes near him, he loves to try to grab her tail - here's a video that showcases his love for her (and her subsequent fear of him)...
Don't worry - he was fine - I think it scared me more than it did him (if you couldn't tell by my shrill scream). (btw, the wonderulf background noise you hear is my friend Mr. Milker)
Verbally, Owen has moved on from the gremlin laugh and has begun to growl...yes, growl. On Thursday, at daycare, he was gobbling up his sweet potatoes and cereal (because he was STARVING, that boy is wasting away to nothing at a hefty 21 lbs!) and a little girl in his room came walking/crawling near him and he growled at her! Wow, quite the territorial little bugger! But he also uses this new-found vocal ability to show excitement as well! I really need to capture the growling on film - it really is something - everyone at daycare gets such a kick out of it!
Stay tuned for the 8 month photo shot - yeah, that's right, he's 8 months old already!!
In the meantime, here are a few pics to tide you over!

I can't believe our Little Man is 7 months old already! The videos are priceless and so is he. Can't love him enough.

I can't believe how big he's getting!! It actually brought a tear to my eye watching the videos. Hugs and Kisses from Auntie Kate Little O!!!!!
It feels like just yesterday we came to the hospital to see you... time sure does fly. I cracked up at the cat video... O was none the wiser!! :)
Love the cat video...I'm glad to see they are becoming friends...sort of. :) It will probably take a year for our cats to get over their fear of babies enough to have an interaction like that. We need to see little O again soon...he is growing up so fast!
