12 Weeks

Owen is 12 weeks old! He is just such a joy! He smiles and laughs a lot, and he is so content being with the family. He likes to be held more now, and will let us know by making his cute little sounds and sometimes a sad lip. Recently I have noticed how much he is watching everyone, especially his sister! He is still trying to suck his thumb, and I'm still trying to get him to take the binky instead. ;) He loves silly little games like kissing his feet, or making funny noises while we tickle him. He is starting to show an interest in his toys, and just tonight he grabbed a hold of one and brought to his mouth to investigate. He enjoys his baths, and likes to kick and splash the water around everywhere. We have been practicing tummy time, and sissy gets down on the floor and does tummy time with him by holding her head up just like him - it is hilarious! She expects praise just like what I give to brother. ;) He is a great sleeping! He naps throughout the day (not on any particular schedule) and goes to sleep at about 9:00 every night. He wakes up once to eat, and then right back to sleep! I'm a very lucky mommy. :)

Two kids is a lot of work, but I am so grateful for how well we are all doing. This experience with Owen has been so different from my experience with Raegan, not all in a bad way, but just different. She was a very demanding baby and she challenged me in many ways. I have learned so much being Raegan's mom. I am learning a different side of motherhood being Owen's mom. I am so blessed....
