Owen is 3 months old!!

Oh Owen! What can I say??? You are so much fun, and so adorable, and so full of personality for someone so small! I cannot believe how much he has changed. He is no longer a little sleeping bundle. No no. He is so active and aware of everything around him. And his most favorite thing to do? EAT!!! and don't even think about interupting him or you will get an earfull. :) Its why he is growing so fast and changing so much that I feel I cannot keep up with pictures and blogging. :)

Owen LOVES LOVES LOVES the mobile above his crib. He kicks and coos and reaches with his arms. Its quite entertaining to watch. Fussy? Put him under the mobile! He is just mesmorized by it and I think its great! I can put him down for 20 minutes and put in a load of laundry and he will be in there totally entertained. :)

Owen has figured out how to stand supported and he LOVES it! I am afraid this love of being upright is a prelude to walking early. :) He makes this funny little face, and I imagine him thinking, " Look at me! I am doing it! I am so good at this!" Its pretty funny. Along with the smiles. Too darn cute.

Our life saver is the swing. He is not a fussy baby really, but more so than Emma was. He's generally a happy boy, but he gets to the point sometimes that he is tired and needs to sleep, but just refuses to. His eyes are glued open and he thinks he will miss something. The swing takes care of it 99% of the time. Out like a light. :) This is great at 3am when he decides hey, maybe I should stay awake? lol. Mom says, No please. :)

Owen does NOT like tummy time. Emma hated it too. As soon as you put him down he is fighting it. But I still put him on his tummy several times a day for just a few minutes. Helps build character (oh and those muscles too. lol).

At Owen's last checkup he weighed 11 pounds and 13 ounces. Just shy of the 12 pound mark, but by now he is at least 12. Its been a few weeks since then. He is not a huge baby, but he is catching up. A few other things...He loves to be played with, especially holding his hands or feet. He is starting to realize Emma is someone to pay attention to. He watches her when she is in sight. He wants Mommy to hold him and cuddle pretty much 100% of his waking time (thank heavens for the mobile and swing!). His favorite time to give smiles is 6am(not my favorite time. hahaha). He does not like bath time for some reason. Emma always loved it, but he cries as soon as his feet hit the water. He eventually calms down and will tolerate it for a bit. Then he is done and cries again. He is no longer sleeping in the bassinet in my room. He has graduated to his own crib. Yay! He is just growing and learning so much! Its amazing how much difference a few months makes. Can someone invent a way to slow down time? I wan to hang on a little longer please. :)
