Today is Owen's 3-month birthday, so it's time to do our monthly update on the little guy.
Today was Owen's quintessential First Christmas! He was super cute and well-behaved, as long as his belly was full. He is definitely this year's best Christmas present...although Anna may contend that her make-up takes that prize. ;)
A few updates from Owen's third month:
- He mimicked for the first time this month...I had made some chocolate mousse and Nate walked over to him and said, "Do you like chocolate mousse? Yes you do, yes you do!" and started nodding his head...and Owen totally nodded back! For a few minutes, if Nate nodded when he said, "Do you like chocolate mousse?" Owen would smile and nod his head. It was probably the cutest moment of the month.
- He got all of his first shots and was a real trooper (meaning he screamed bloody murder then calmed down quickly in his mommy's arms). He jumped from the 12th percentile in weight to the 38th! He is definitely getting chubbier, complete with awesome thigh rolls.
- He is super duper smiley and happy...a very content little baby. We feel so lucky. He also has started "laughing" a whole lot more - you know, that sucking in air kind of baby laugh that is just so cute.
- He's still spoiled rotten - sleeping in his swing or right next to Mom. Mom informed him that his fourth trimester is officially over and it's time to buckle down and sleep in his own bed. We'll see how well that goes...
- He still loves getting his diaper changed.
- Owen really tries to talk to us now. If you're close and making eye contact, he starts making the cutest little noises with his voice and also likes to blow raspberries, which often involves sticking out his tongue.
- Tinkle accidents have calmed down. Which, while a little sad since we don't have any good stories, is a very good thing!
- He still likes taking a bath and generally gets made when it's time to get out of the water.
- He is just the cutest little thing ever. We love having a little boy in the family...it's the sweetest!
Happy 3-month Birthday, Owen! We hope celebrating it Christmas-style was fun!
Here he is with the "Growing Giraffe"

I really, really like this little guy. He makes the BEST faces!
So - the boy actually needs a bed before he can sleep in one???
I totally believe that babies cannot be spoiled until they are at least 12 months old - so my grandson is NOT spoiled - he just likes things his way :-)
