12 Weeks Old

11 Weeks Old

Our gorgeous boy is now 11 weeks old! And he is just beautiful. He is smiling and laughing all the time now, and I could just watch him for hours, he is so adorable!
I don't know what I did all day before he came along. He is still sleeping well throughout the night, but wanting a feed every 3-4 hours. I cannot wait until the night feeds are over & done with. I love my sleep and can't imagine how good it will be to sleep right through a night!
Every morning about 5am Owen decides to become unsettled. I am not sure yet as to what is causing it, but hubby & I call it "The Witching Hour". I usually bring him into bed with me & he goes back to sleep in my arms, but often he will toss & turn, grunt & moan, until we get up at 7am. I try desperately to keep him quiet so as not to wake the kids.
We are heading down to our caravan this weekend for a night, so it will be Owen's first night out of his cot. Not sure how he will settle, but I am prepared that I may be sleeping on the couch with him all night!!!

The Little Man is 10 Weeks Old Today

Owen is 10 weeks old today. It seems like he has been a member of this family forever!
What a little gem he is. He is at the stage where he smiles and laughs all the time at us, and when I am breastfeeding him and he looks up at me & gives me a huge smile, it just melts my heart! And I had forgotten how fantastic a newborn baby smells!
Both Callum & Paige still dote over him. They absolutely adore him & shower him with kisses whenever they can. I think they are enjoying the fact that he follows them with his head & eyes now & also that he will smile at them when they talk to him. Unfortunately they have forgotten that some times they need to lower the noise level to accomodate him!!!
Owen is still feeding every 3 hours, and I am still suffering from sleep deprivation, but have just learnt to live with it now. He had his first immunisation needles last week, and was off colour for a few days. He slept for long periods without feeding, had a slight temperature and was first constipated, and then had the runs. He seems to be getting back to normal now.
