Three Months

Hello three months, where did you come from? It has been an amazing three months, seeing how quickly Owen has been growing and becoming a small person, not just a sweet little infant any more.
In the past month he has grown almost 4 cm in length, now about 63 cm tall and weighs around 14 lbs based on our weigh scale at home. His head control is getting better every day and he really loves to sit up (with some assistance) and check everything out, a new perspective on everything.

Owen has been working really hard at getting the elusive thumb, starting off by punching himself in the head repeatedly to now being able to aim for his mouth and occasionally be able to stick out his thumb and catch it. It's pretty cute to watch him spend 20 minutes just chewing away at his fist trying to find it.

He is also sleeping longer during the nights, knock on wood. Asleep between 9 and 10 pm for five or six hours, up for a quick feed then asleep again for three or four hours. I am starting to feel a bit more like myself with this extra sleep and it's great. Also in the sleep department, we have been putting him to bed while he is still somewhat awake, some nights more than others, and just let him nod off on his own. So far it has been working out so I hope that we can keep it up, making transition to a crib in his own room that much easier.

As for me, I have miraculously dropped back down to pre prego weight but am sooo out of shape. We are trying to get Owen to feed from a bottle as I have been pumping and freezing a stash and Rob has been trying to feed him. That way Rob and I can go out some nights as well as me being able to go for a run when he gets home from work. It's not easy but we are trying, any suggestions would be very welcome.
