We are coming out of the darkness of Colic and Owen is getting happier, gigglier, stronger, cuddlier, and sweeter with every single day that passes. Owen smiles and giggles easily in response to anyone else’s happy face. He nuzzles his head into whoever’s arm’s he’s in, with a shy smile that melts my heart. He love to look into mine and jordan’s eyes and put his hands on our cheeks with this look of awe like he can’t believe we’re here with him. His love for us and Delaney is so apparent and he’s so expressive with his feelings already. It’s just the best.

Here’s what’s new:

• He can roll (sometimes)
• He can sit unassisted for several seconds at a time and is doing the “crash” on the couch that we love so much (will insert video)
• He loves toys and cries when he drops them or they move out of his sight
• He gets somewhat easily frustrated when he can’t do something
• He is very bouncy and prefers being on his feet (just like his sister did)
• Gets very distracted while nursing and doesn’t want to miss anything
• Lunges at me or a bottle if it is anywhere near a time he is supposed to eat and is showing LOTS of interest in eating food, which is exciting (we are waiting until 6 months)
• Has started to LOVE his Zantac, haha, which is kind of sad because it’s disgusting and just shows he’s always hungry
• Probably eats about 35oz of milk a day, which is a TON
• Has adorably chubby thights and cheeks and the sweetest, softest skin
• Hair is still light brown and very slowly coming in
• Eyes are looking hazel
• Went to Marco Island and got to spend time with all of his aunts, uncle, cousins and Mimi and Big Daddy
• Had his first Christmas! Got some new teethers, toys, and clothes and was a great sport while his sister was wild and crazy
• Had his first Hannukah, and loved watching the candles
