Owen is 3 months old

Owen is three months old today! He is a happy and smiley baby. He really just gives those smiles away. All you need to do is look him in the eye then smile and he gives it right back to you!


Owen is a lot like Andrew was at this age; a good sleeper, happy disposition, but he's different in a couple of ways. First, Owen is a thumb sucker! We never saw Andrew suck his thumb - I think his passie addiction started before he even noticed he had hands. Once Owen finds his hand then roots around a bit for his thumb, he'll just work away on it for a long time. Owen still just spits out passies - I'm glad he found a good substitute.



Owen has also had a hard time with the bottle;this is something that Andrew didn't have a problem with. We started bottle boot camp last night and it didn't go well, but this morning we had some success. Owen drank 4 oz. of formula without much difficulty. We need to get him really comfortable with the bottles before he starts daycare on Monday.

Owen is a talker too. He makes lots of long sounds and you can have a baby conversation with him. He'll make a sound then pause waiting for you to make a sound, then you do, then he gets really smiley and makes more sounds. I could talk with him for hours.

Owen likes to hang out with his dad and brother too. Andrew is really waking up to having Owen around. He likes to pat his head and talk about him. Here they all are at our picnic with Grandma on Sunday.

Owen is still growing at quite a clip. He's now into 9 month outfits and I think he'll be into number three diapers in the next couple of weeks.

This is our last week as a twosome; just me and Owen. I know he will do well at Kindercare. He's going to have great teachers that are very loving. Next week is going to be much harder on mama than baby - sniff.

Stay tune for our month 4 update, I am predicting some serious rolling-over action!
