Oh sweet 3rd baby, Momma isn't so great at keeping up with monthly posts on you. Please don't be sad...you are dearly loved! Sweet moments with you are plentiful, just poorly documented! So, here are your "stats" for the first 4 months of your life.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1-month old
10 lbs. 1 oz. (67th percentile)
23 inches (85th percentile)
0-3 month clothing
size 1 diapers
You eat every 3 hours...even through the night. During the day, you are awake for a short time between feedings, but at night you are good about going right back to sleep. You are doing just what you are supposed to be doing at this age!
Your brother and sister think you are pretty great. They love being with you through all your firsts, though it's sometimes a bit more than your Momma can handle!
You are sweet, little Owen!

2-months old
12 lbs. 3 oz. (69th percentile)
24 inches (85th percentile)
0-3 month clothing
size 1 diapers
You are eating every 3 hours. At night you will do a 5 hour stretch. You've had a couple of "fluke" nights of sleeping 8 hours. It's not nice to tease your Momma like that!
You are such a sweet, laid-back baby. You are smiling, but you make us work for it. It was fun to watch you "learn" to smile. We could see your delight in your eyes...getting your lips to cooperate was tricky. You gave lots of sweet, crooked, half-grins for awhile.
Your brother loves you. When he looks at you, his face softens. It's pretty sweet. He often says, "Momma, Owen is so cute."
I agree.

3-months old
No weight/length stats this month.
0-3 month clothing
size 1-2 diapers
You gave us a great gift at 10 weeks old. You started sleeping 8 hours at night!! Just in time for Momma to go back to work. Your timing was just right!
You are an expert smiler now! You love to interact with people and are very quick to smile. You have started cooing as well. You are our first baby to actually "coo" and not "squawk."
You are the sweetest, Owen Patrick!

4-months old
14 lbs. 12 1/2 oz. (49th percentile)
26 1/4 inches (90th percentile)
size 3-6 month clothing
size 2 diapers
You are eating 5 times a day...every 3- 3 1/2 hours. You are awake for about an hour between feedings, then nap. You are sleeping 12 glorious hours at night. You are still sleeping upstairs with us in the Pack 'n Play. You'd be fine to sleep in your crib, your Momma is just having a hard time with the idea of you being so far away :)
You are a drooly boy! You are constantly chewing on your hands and sucking your fingers/thumb. You will take a pacifer, but I have a feeling you will follow in your sister and brother's footsteps and be a thumb-sucker. It's a good thing we have a dental connection for discounted braces!
You smile, laugh, and coo constantly. Your "voice" is so sweet and the whole family loves talking to you. You have also started to roll over. Both tummy to back and back to tummy. You are still figuring it out, so when it happens it still startles you a bit!
Your sister and brother are still enamored with you. They can always make you smile and laugh.
Our life is full, but so very blessed.
We are thankful for you, Owen.
