Owen is 9 months old, and he enjoyed his first Christmas and New Year's!

Owen enjoyed his first Christmas on December 25, 2015 and he turned 9 months old on December 31st, 2015 while also celebrating his first new year! At his 9 month check-up on January 11, 2016, Owen weighed 19 pounds, 13 ounces, and was 28.5 inches long. Owen is now completely eating solid foods and feeding himself all on his own, 3 meals a day! He has been getting stronger and is SO close to crawling! He does a little army crawl and can slide across the floor on his  belly like a snake! He is also able to pull himself up off his belly into a sitting up position. Owen continues to be a happy, giggly, sweet, and lovable baby boy! I hope you enjoy some pictures from the month of December:

Molly started sleeping in a BIG GIRL bed a few days after Christmas!

And Molly got her first haircut over Christmas break, too! What a BIG GIRL!!
