Owen has been so much fun! Every day he is learning new things and showing us new skills he's mastering! He is nearing his 4 month birthday...and I thought instead of waiting, I'd post some fun things that have been happening!
This past Tuesday, Owen grabbed my face for the first time! He reached his little chubby hands up and hit my cheeks. When he did it, he died with laughter! We turned it into a game...he puts his hands up, touches my cheeks and I move them so I can kiss his palms. He thinks it's pretty funny! He also thinks it's hilarious when you pretend to eat his hands. There is nothing sweeter than having your baby reach up and touch you on purpose! It's right up there with those big cheesy grins he gives ;)
Owen has been rolling over quite a bit. He doesn't do it every day...however, he does it every few days. Some days it's on to his tummy...some days, it's to his back. I'm so proud of him b/c you can see how hard he's been working on it! YAY Owen!
In the morning when Owen wakes up, he no longer immediately cries for someone and wants to be fed. Though it quickly hits on his order of morning to do's, he is now beginning to enjoy a little time to stretch, play, talk and roll around in his crib. He has began letting us know he's awake with a quiet wimper or two...we go in and say good morning, after a big smile and a long stretch, we pop his bink back in his mouth and he lays there for 5 or 10 more minutes. It's adorable to listen to him!
He graduated from his size 2 diapers. Yes...gasp and be shocked...our 4 month old baby is fitting into diapers that start at a size range of 16lbs. I said from the beginning that he liked to eat :) And that's no joke!
Speaking of foods, Owen is beginning to act interested in the foods we eat. He watches when we drink from cups, eat our meals or do anything related to food. I'm so excited for the day when we can begin sharing all the fun things about food with him! Rachel Ray inspired me to start early with Owen in the kitchen...no not slaving away on the stove...but helping Mommy and Daddy cook. Her theory is...the more the kids help and know about what they are eating...the more likely they are to try new things and eat a bigger variety of foods. We also read that babies enjoy the colors and smells and tastes of fruits and veggies we eat. And that sharing those things with them will help them enjoy a wider variety of things! I can't wait!
August 3rd he goes for his 4 month appointment! Prayers for his next round of shots and a clean bill of health!
