3 months old!

Owen is such a big boy! He is almost 3 1/2 months and changing everyday! Hmmm, let's see what I can share with you, there is so much! He learned how to roll over from his tummy to back and back to tummy already and loves to really kick his legs and move his arms when he is sitting in his swing. His swing is one of his favorites and likes to take afternoon naps in it. He has a favorite blanket (a handmade one from Darren's friend Lawrence and Katie) He loves this blanket like his "wubbie" and loves to eat it and rub it on his face. Everything that goes into his hands automatically goes into his mouth and there is a constant flow of baby drool down his chin and soaking every outfit we put him into. Sometimes we have to change him a few times a day because he is soaked! He no longer fits into his first outfits we had put him in and now proudly wears 3-6 month clothes. (gosh he is just so big!) He likes to talk and coo and in the morning. You can hear him laughing and giggling to himself in his crib before he decides that he is ready to get up! He sleeps through the night - goes to bed like a big boy at 9:30pm and sleeps till 6:30am - and has been doing this since the first month. Yes we know we are extremely lucky! Our second child I am sure will be more then a handful to repay us for such a mild mannered first child! When he falls asleep at night he lays his arms above his head, when he assumes that position you know he is almost out! He loves watching hockey and is mesmerized by the game and when a commercial comes on he turns his head and is no longer interested in watching it. He is rooting for Pittsburgh to take the cup - but as of now it is looking like that might not happen. But overall everyday is a new adventure and we are loving learning and experiencing new things with him!

I had to go back to work and Grandma Karen has been so wonderful and has been watching Owen during the week. I am not sure what we would do without her - she has been a godsent! My sister Aimee will start watching him in 2 weeks along with my mom - which will be so nice to know he is with family while he is still so young. Thank you, thank you to both of them.

Overall parenthood has been wonderful and Darren and I are enjoying every second. We can't remember life without him. The McCarthy family will soon be one more - Steve and Melissa are expecting their little one next week sometime. We are getting so excited and can't wait to meet their new little man! We love and miss you all! We will keep on sending pictures!
