3 month update

owens 3 months old today...can u believe it!?! he is so alert now and has been learning so much lately. this month has definitely been an adventure!

he smiles and coos all the time, but really puts on a show in the morning. i love spending the whole day with owen, but those smiles really make our mornings special.

he started to play with his hands this month...he is always putting them in his mouth. his grip has gotten stronger and if you put something small in his hand, he can hold onto it now. he also noticed his feet this month, and even though he can't quite reach them yet, its still fun to watch as he checks out his little tootsies. his head has gotten much more steady. it still bobbles around a bit, but its definitely getting stronger. we're still working on tummy time. he doesnt like it too much and most of the time he just cries, but every once in awhile he will surprise you by lifting up his shoulders and head. but only every once in awhile...hes a stubborn little one.


he still enjoys being in his bouncy seat. he looooves to watch the little monkey and frog as they move up and down and side to side. he gets so excited that sometimes i even catch him smiling!


he even started to enjoy his swing this month. i don't think he really cares as much about the swinging part as he does about the overhead mobile, but it will keep his attention for about 10-15 minutes now. he even tries to bat at the little animals.


his chubby little legs must be getting pretty strong, because he has started to push off on them and loves to be in a standing position. hes also kicking his little legs like crazy now.


we've been enjoying the beautiful weather these past couple of weeks, and have been taking walks almost every day. he loves to be outside and seems to like being in his stroller.

his crying comes and goes in spurts. we have good days and then some bad days, but it seems to be getting better. he slept through the night for the first time on april 22/23. we got nine straight hours...woohoo! no such luck on following nights, though. the average is about 4 to 6 hours, which really isn't that bad.

on friday, he had a weight check and he was 14 pounds even...he has a milk belly and lots of cute chubby rolls...which i loooooove!!!



and sadly, owen's aunt crystal and cousin trevor had to go home this weekend. they were here for almost two weeks and we had sooooo much fun. we can't wait for their next visit.

all and all, this month has been pretty fantastic!
