Owen is so close to talking and smiling. He gets his mouth moving but hasn't quite gotten how to get it to make noise or turn into a smile. We've gotten a few sounds though which is so fun. I think he laughs while he sleeps and every once in a while he's nursing he gets a big smile on his face. So funny.
His eyes are starting to lighten up some but I'm still not sure if they'll be blue like Pat's or green like mine.
He still hates tummy time but we try everyday so he can build up his muscles. I pick him up after a couple of minutes though because he cries the whole time and he doesn't really try to lift his head even though I know he can do it. He does great when we hold him but I think he's being stubborn when he's on the floor.
He has a somewhat consistent schedule at night although I'll use consistent very loosely. We try to get him down by 9:00 but lately that isn't working so well and it's been more like 11:00. He then sleeps for about 2-3 hours before waking up and the middle feeding he'll go right back to sleep. It's hit or miss on whether he goes back to sleep after the next feeding. Yesterday he woke up around 6:30 and we were up after that which was fine but today he woke up at 4:30 and was not going back to sleep no matter how hard I tried.
He still cries a lot during the day and I think sometimes it's because he's so tired but won't go to sleep. I can get him to sleep for a few minutes but then he'll wake up and we start over. We went for a walk this afternoon and he slept then and I wore him in the Moby a couple of times and he slept then. Right now he's sleeping in the car seat and has been for over 2 hours. We went to the grocery store and he's been out since. Hopefully it doesn't interfere with his nighttime sleep. This mama is tired today. I hate hearing him cry and not knowing what he needs. Sometimes I wonder if he's just bored because I don't talk to him enough. I've never been good at talking to someone that doesn't respond but I'm working on just being a total idiot around him because he seems to like that.
He rocks a faux hawk quite well. (This is with no styling done!)
