Three Months Old

Our sweet baby boy...3 months have gone by so quickly! Every day we are amazed by you and who God created you to be!

At 3 months old, you...

-Are having so much fun at home with Daddy. Every day when Mommy gets home from work, she gets to hear all about the fun that the two of you had during the day

-Are now only eating from a bottle, you get a mix of formula and breastmilk. It was very hard for Mommy to decide to make this switch, but now you are much happier and feedings are actually enjoyable and a time that you and Mommy can bond instead of being stressed out. You are usually taking about 6 oz. in your bottle

-You had your first cold and when Daddy took you to Dr. Miller, you weighed about 14 pounds!

-You are mostly wearing 6 month onesies and outfits, but you can still fit in some of your 3 month pants

-You are on a pretty good schedule of eating every 3-5 hours. You still wake up 1-2 times during the night to eat, but then go right back to sleep

-This month, you found your thumb and have been working on sucking it when you don't have your pacifier

-You spent your first night in your crib, which went surprisingly well! You now sleep in your crib every night

-You rolled over for the first time from your stomach to your back. You have done it a few times since then, but seemed to have lost interest in it now:)

-You got to go with Daddy and the rest of our family to see Mommy graduate from GVSU with her Master's degree. You thought that the big screens they projected the ceremony onto were pretty cool, especially since you had never seen a TV before

-You started cooing, and Mommy and Daddy love hearing your little voice

We love you so much, Owen. The first few months were kind of rough as we all adjusted to being a family of 3, but this month things have seemed to turn around and we finally kind of feel like we know what we're doing and how to take care of you. You are a blessing to us and we think you're one special kid:)
