We are figuring things out, people. Owen is so cute and smiley and more often than not (finally), a pretty happy baby! When he’s not, he’s really not. We’ve been through some tough months with lots of trial and error to figure out how to make this baby more comfortable and not so fussy, but we are getting there and absolutely love this sweet, chubby, smiley baby.

Stats: 15lbs 5oz, height TBD, head TBD

Here’s what’s new:

• Owen loves Delaney, turns his head toward her voice at all times and is almost always smiling (even a little giggle!) when she’s playing with him
• Owen’s hair is a dusty brown with a twinge of red like Morgan’s and his eyes are much lighter than Delaney’s. Could we have a true Irishman this time?
• He fusses before bed again and is pretty darn hard to put down for a nap unless he’s in the carrier
• Loves the bath!
• Pulls his legs up and to the left like he’s thinking about rolling (but considering he never does tummy time due to his reflux, rolling probably isn’t in the cards for a while)
• Rolled over from his stomach to back at 13 weeks! Has only done it one other time, but for a kid whose only done tummy time 5-8x in his life, that’s pretty good haha
• Sleeps in his sleep sack and is somewhat regularly only waking up twice overnight around 1am and 4am. Goes to sleep at 7:30pm and is up for the day at 5:45/6am.
• Still pukes all the time and started Zantac for reflux. It’s been a month of dairy free and soy free — and now it’s been 3 weeks of probiotics for both of us.
• He is definitively “colicky” — which is defined as inexplicable crying for more than three hours a day for at least 3 weeks (it’s been 12 for us). This is very hard to deal with and even harder to explain to people
• He has rolls in his legs and I can’t get enough of it
• Loves his paci but obnoxiously spits it out a million times, just like his sister always did. Also sucks on his entire hand:)
• Prefers Morgan over everyone (can I get an Amen!?)
• Can rarely be put down
