Owen - 1 month




You are such a good natured little man and we are all madly in love with you. Your big sister thinks you're the best little brother, except for when you cry in the back of the car with her. She does her best to quiet you and hold your Monkey Wubbanub in your mouth to calm you. You really only cry briefly when you're hungry & about 3-4 times a week you have your 8PM, 30 minute, melt down. Mommy is very thankful that daddy takes you during that time and walks you around upstairs until you calm down. You love to be held, but do well napping in your papasan chair or the swing. You love to eat, eat & eat some more. You're currently eating every hour to 3 hours. During the night you will sleep about 2-3 hours between feedings. We got lucky a few nights ago when you slept for a 5 hour block two nights in a row! I think the secret was eating lots and being swaddled up before we put you to bed in the co-sleeper between daddy & mommy. Maybe we can recreate that every night! Sounds easier than it really is!
Can't wait to see what this next month brings. You've become so alert this past week, and I know this next month will be full of even more development.
