This has been such a fun month! Right after my last post... Owen laughed for his first time! It was so unexpected and fake sounding! I couldn't even believe. I just fall more in love with this little guy every day.
Owen is only napping 30 minutes on the dot by himself these days. I love love those 30 minutes, and I don't really mind the hour that I hold him for the rest of his nap, but I'm feeling ready to possibly try sleep training. The problem with the internet is everytime I consult it I get ONE MILLION different opinions! Babies with colic, shouldn't be sleep trained, don't let babies cry it out, wait until 6 months to try sleep training, never sleep train babies feel abandoned, sleep train from week 1. phew. It's exhausting. I just need to find out what is right for Owen and I and go with it! And I need some more sleep I think!
Here we are watching the Apple keynote.
Sometimes a thumb sucker, but mostly just a hand sucker.

-loves to be outside.
-brings everything he can to his mouth

So strong! He finally figured out tummy time and his neck got a little stronger so he usually likes to be on his stomach for awhile. Then gets annoyed and wants to be picked up.
Mirror selfies with mom.
He still has sad days. But, way way less! He met with a new pediatrician in Salt Lake though and he switched up his meds, started him on probiotics, and he felt much better again! I also went off dairy (worst thing ever... I love cheese!) I think the colic phase is coming to an end!
Owen and his new BFF Everett! How tender are they together?
Brittney was in town and we had a GNO for lunch + Britton. Britton is seriously a baby whisperer! Owen loves him, especially when they match.
We have been spending lots of afternoons out on our little patch of grass in front of our house. Owen seems to really like being outside. He just sits there calm watching the sky and leaves rustle. He is just my BFF!
Walking practice with Dad. Brian is dedicated to have the worlds youngest walking babe, but Owen is not the best at cooperating.
This was after a nasty blow out.. right in his car seat. If you peaked under the right leg, you would not like what you found. Yes the bits of yellow in his onesie are also poop. His face says it all...
Owen was SO good at the bottle the first time we tried at like 3 weeks. We gave him a few than got busy, moving and such and didn't for like 2 months. Then when we tried again.. it was a disaster! But slowly he is taking like maybe 1-2 oz every once in awhile. I'm determined though because I want to go snowboarding this year!!!!! Any suggestions?!
Cutest froggy you ever did see.
This baby seriously loves tv.. just lounging away trying to make us let him watch tv.
We decided to get Owen his passport and we tried to take our own pictures before giving up and going to Costco. He was being such a goober!
Official passport pic!
Owen loves to match his dad and I don't think Brian minds too much either :)
I love the gummies!!!!!!!!! Can't get enough. I won't even be mad if he never gets teeth.
Learning to hold his toys! Crazy eyes!
BABY ROOTS SWEATER. I die. Thanks to Auntie Janeen!
Owen loves to hold his hands and everybody elses. How lucky am I to wake up to this face?!
Chillin like a villain.
Seriously is there anything better than a baby in church clothes.
Grandpa Dave got Owen some sweet BYU gear for his 4 month bday :) Thanks Dave!
Brian took this picture with the caption. "Hi my name is Owen and I workout. Just check out these abs. Eat your heart out ladies." Hahaha. I was dying.
The froggy pjs! Animal hats just get me!
How many rolls? Who even knows?
Oh and did I mention.. my baby is instafamous!
