Eight Weeks.

Dear Owen,

Technically I am writing this on the eve of your eight week birthday. But, I wanted to get this posted now in case I run out of time tomorrow.

This is the week of sleeping through the night-wahoo! Most nights you went from 11 pm to 7 or 8 am. The only night you didn't was Saturday night/Sunday morning and you woke at 5:15 am. This has been a tremendous accomplishment and makes for a good night of sleep for you AND mommy!You are starting to settle in and be so pleasant during you "awake" times. Even if you wake up early from a nap, you are still agreeable. We went to Daddy's softball game and you were awake for the whole thing and didn't fuss much at all.
You are getting stronger and stronger. Holding your head up and looking all around. You don't have total control, but you are working hard to get there.

You are studying your hands and if they get near your mouth, you suck on them. This picture shows a convenient time where your thumb happened to find its way into your mouth. I am looking forward to you being able to self-soothe.

I love the "motion" pictures - they give an idea of how much you wiggle. And, check out that belly!


Love,
Momma
