3 Months Old!

Dear Owen,

This has been a very exciting month for you! Mommy has gone back to work. It was a tough thing to do. I cried for a while- even once I got to work! My students were very happy to have me back and I was glad to see them but it still broke my heart to leave you behind. Luckily Nanny came to stay with you to help ease my transition. Do you know that I called her 3 times a day to check on you? Grammy is here now and she is looking after you for the next 2 weeks.

So, what have you been up to? Here are a few of our observations:

• Your chin quiver is disappearing. We may get to see it only a few times a week!
• You have terrible gas pains. When they are bothering you, you really are upset. You can scream and cry so loud! I called the doctor and now we are giving you gas drops with your meals.
• You are playing with your toys more. You can even pick them up! You like your sock monkey a lot. It makes you smile.
• Mommy and Daddy finally let you sleep the night in your room. You seem to like it- you are not waking up at night.
• You like to put your hand in your mouth. I think you get frustrated when you can't get any food out of it...
• You have new vocalizations that you like to experiment with- I love your little baby voice. Hopefully we can get it recorded before it's too late.
• Bedtime is a breeze. You like your books and you still like to be swaddled. You prefer 12 hours of sleep but we have to wake you up to get you situated before we leave for work.

Loving you is so easy! Your sweet smiles and little dimples are the best.

Happy 3 months!

Love,

Mommy and Daddy
