Owen is still a super picky eater, but we are making some progress. He will now drink a vanilla Pediasure daily with lots of water. He is still not a big fan of other milk drinks, but occasionally I can get a few ounces of Vit. D in him. Other than that it is pretty hit and miss of what he will eat. We just keep offering. He finally gained a little and is up about 2 lbs and 1 inch since Gotcha Day. I think he is in a growth spurt though b/c he looks bigger to me and I feel like he is starting to lose some of his "baby face." : (
He is still a pretty good sleeper, but has been waking up about once nightly b/c of mean ol teeth coming in. He has become very chatty the last few weeks. He can say "Mama,"(oh melt my heart), "a variation of Papa," "Uh-Oh," "Meow," and "more" and a few other words that we can recognize through the baby babble. He won't be able to make a lot of sound until they repair his palate in October so we are pretty happy that he is talking this much already. He got ear tubes on Aug. 27 so hopefully this will improve his hearing and he will be all set for his palate repair.
Overall everyone is doing great. Owen is a laid back little guy that loves to laugh. He is still in the "I must throw everything" phase but he is getting better at being gentle. Otherwisewe are just having tons of fun. He still loves to try to do everything Konnor does which means he is catching up to some of those developmental milestones quickly. He is on the move all day every day just like his big brother.
