Ahhh! free at last to get back to the serious baby
business of exercising and stretching...                 

Just a cute picture...

He doesn't realize he's imprisoned in that crib yet...

...so he still smiles through the bars for pictures.

After a long day of exploring, a tuckered out Owen
falls asleep on a handy lap with his friend Bela.       

The highlights of this month:

Owen finally rolled over this month. He still can't reliably roll back, so he'll get over onto his face and then try unsuccessfully to roll back for a while and then finally make some muffled whimpering noises until we come and show him how to tuck his arm under for the roll back.

He is getting strong enough to prop himself up on elbows for a while and look around from that perspective. He needs to develop a little more strength before he'll be crawling, but the desire is there. (I confess to placing favorite toys a few inches out of reach so he has to squirm forward to get them.)
