One Month

Owen is already one month old! Can you believe it? I sure can't. (I meant to get this post up yesterday-his actual one month "birthday", but he kept me quite busy yesterday!) Here's the latest on our little guy:

*He is growing like a weed. We go to the doctor for his one month check-up Friday to get his exact measurements. He's grown out of his newborn clothing and is now wearing 0-3 months.

*He is getting more alert everyday. He can focus on objects and faces and loves to look around and take everything in. He especially loves the ceiling fan!

*He is staying awake more everyday. Instead of falling right to sleep after every feeding, he usually has a period of play (look around and talk) time before he doses off.
*Sleeping seems to be getting more routine. He usually has one "longer" period of about 3-4 hours each night, but then gets up every 2 hours the rest of the night. Mom can't wait until these get a little longer!*As you can tell by the picture above he loves napping in his bouncer, but sleeps in his crib at night.
*He seems to like taking walks in the stroller and rides in the car. We haven't gotten to take many walks since it has been so hot, but hopefully it cools down soon and we can get some more exercise!
*He loves bath time, he totally relaxes until you take him out and he gets cold!
*Owen is definitely loved! His grandparents can't go too long (a few days) without seeing him, usually one set visits everyday. We usually eat lunch with Poppy (my dad) a few days a week when he is working in town.
*We call him our little turtle. He bobs his neck up and down when you hold him on your chest. When on his tummy, he can lift his head and turn it from side to side.
*We love him more than ever!
