You know that you’re a mom when sleeping in till 9 a.m. is one of the sweetest joys imaginable. This is what I got to do on Mother’s Day. Kyle brought me breakfast in bed, with an obviously hungry Owen on his heels … which meant that I ate my cinnamon biscuits with a speedy gusto, since a crying child somehow takes the serenity out of a breakfast in bed.
Speaking of food, I’m starting to get overwhelmed by the idea of rice cereal, high chairs and sippy cups. There’s a reason we still haven’t attempted to give Owen any “real food,” and that reason could be anxiety, fatigue or denial.
Owen turned 5 months old on Friday. I celebrated his month-day (?) by watching Kris Allen perform during my lunch break and by finally buying myself a pair of TOMS shoes. I wish I were the type of mother who wrote Owen little notes every month, but I can’t handle the pressure. Instead, I’ll honor his 5-month-hood by delivering to you “The Evolution of Owen”:
Birth
First Month
Second month
Third month
Fourth month
Five months
Let’s say that these five months are my five graces for the last five days. 
haha..month five shot is the best. chillin in the tub. sweet photos. you bought a pair of TOMS? i have my eye on a pair, but haven’t bitten the bullet. (such a strange phrase)
Yay for TOMS! I’m anxiously awaiting my first pair. I think they’ve shipped.
Don’t be overwhelmed by rice cereal! It’s easy, I promise. Use the bumpo chair and try giving him some (one teaspoon cereal [it's in the baby food aisle at Target] with one ounce water … you can use breast milk, too … I just used water
). If he spits it out, try it again later. If he takes it, you’re good! Not that you really wanted any rice cereal tips, but I just thought I’d toss in my two cents. You can toss it back, if you’d like. 
What color are the TOMS??
Um, make that tablespoon. Not sure what I meant with the teaspoon. That would be … well, nothing.
