Owen turned 7 months this week and he has many new tricks: rolling over, throwing his ball, waving (sometimes), pulling himself up to standing, and eating a little bit more in the way of solids. This month he actually consumed some things from pumpkin puree to chicken from a drumstick! He's also tried out his new hiking backpack and the bike trailer, for which he gets to wear a cool space helmet. This next month we have some exciting things planned--we'll be headed to Switzerland for a week for a conference of Daddy's, then right after that Grandma and Grandpa Thomson will be headed over for a visit!
