Owen 5 months

Another month has come and gone. This past month has been filled with lots of growing. Owen is about the size of a 7 month old! ;)  He transitioned into Eva's room so it is now officially Owen and Eva's room!  I can tell he likes the crib much better than the cradle or pack n play, but he still isn't sleeping through the night.  I keep telling myself he will eventually! Also, Eva is starting to get the hang of being a big sister and Owen gets hugs and kisses all the time.  She even brings him toys to play with.

Owen's milestones

• rolling over (front to back and back to front)
• spins in circles on the floor
• started blowing raspberries
• talks up a storm
• hates to sleep longer than 3 hours at a time
• loves to grab for toys and shove them in his mouth
• has the best giggle (even though he didn't smile for his 5 month pictures he can giggle, giggle, giggle)

March 2016

March was tease when it came to weather.  We had gorgeous days where we went for walks and played at the park and then the snow came.  We spent a good portion of the end of March indoors (it's a bit of a challenge getting outside to play in snow when Owen is so small yet getting a bit big to carry in the Ergo)! But, this gave us plenty of time to start potty training Eva.  She is so independent that she often goes and I don't know! The next step is going on the potty when we're out and about!  Owen has started to giggle with delight when you're playing with him.  He loves to be tickled and kissed all over!

Eva wants to hold Owen even though he is just about as big as her!

Eva falls asleep in the car when she plays instead of naps!

First pigtails!

Lip, lip, lip!

All smiles!

Owen 4 months

Look who's four months old!

Owen's 4 month milestones

• talks up a storm
• will give a little giggle now and again
• doesn't like to take naps
• loves to sit up (with help)
• at times tries to roll from his back to his belly (I blame his big head for giving him troubles)
• loves to drool
• loves to suck/chew on two of his fingers at a time
• likes to grab for toys hanging on his play-mat and try to stuff them in his mouth

February 2016

Another month has come and gone...

Owen spent the first part of the month on oxygen due to RSV.  Thankfully, we only had to spend one night in the hospital and then he was on oxygen for 2 more weeks.  He has continued to grow and become such a talkative little man.  He just loves to smile and chat the day away!

Eva is quite the big girl!  She moved into her big girl bed, sits facing forward in her car seat, and is on her way to being potty trained.  I can't believe she will be two in May!  Her hair has a mind of its own and we're never sure what kind of hair day she will have.  She too is talking up a storm, starting to put two and three words together at a time.  She loves to talk about things that happened to her earlier in the day or even a couple weeks ago!

 

Owen 3 months

Owen is getting so big! He is 3 months old. The past few weeks weren't very much fun, we spent a night in the hospital due to low oxygen levels and then Owen spent 2 weeks on oxygen.  He was one happy boy when that was over!

Owen's 3 month milestones

• loves to sit up (with help of course)
• can hold his head up for quite some time during tummy time
• loves to drool and eat his hands
• survived his first horrible cold (RSV)

January 2016

I was not very good at keeping up with weekly posts/photos of Eva and Owen.  So, instead I am going to try and reflect and document by the month.  January 2016 was filled with lots of family and fun!

We went on a family date to the Stock Show

Eva enjoyed Jump Street for her friend Blake's 2nd birthday

Chris celebrated his 38th birthday

Chris and I celebrated 4 years of marriage and 9 years together

Owen turned 2 months old

January ended with sickness...Owen has RSV.  He is doing well considering how nasty RSV can get. Hopefully we are past the worst of it and February will be filled with health!

Owen 2 months

Oh my, Owen is already 2 months old.  Time goes by WAY faster with your second child, but I still want to capture the same milestones I did with Eva.

Owen's milestones

• can give the biggest smiles
• is awake for longer amounts of time
• is a momma's boy
• moves his head from side to side
• loves tummy time (he is actually starting to lift his head instead of just lying there)
• loves his sister (even-though she can be a bit rough at times)

  

  This is real life!
