Owen's first month

Owen's first month went by so fast!  I found myself constantly wishing I could freeze time and keep him a tiny newborn for longer.  Owen seemed to get bigger every day and by the time he was a month old, he had chubby little cheeks and a round tummy. 

We have had so much fun having a new little one around.  We have done lots of swimming and playing at splashpads to keep cool.

Ammon and Carter thought that Owen needed goggles at the pool.  Owen is so laid back, he didn't even notice these!
 Grandma Frost came to visit and we were so excited to have her here.  Grandma kept the house clean, laundry done and kids entertained and she even made dinners and freezer meals.

I love this picture!  This is about how the first couple of weeks went for Abbi... she had a little bit of an adjustment to no longer being the "baby." 

But Grandma helped make it better. :)

Of course, we had to go to Rudy's for their delicious BBQ and giant smoked stuffed potatoes.
Owen has gotten plenty of attention from his big siblings.


One of whom treats him like a baby doll...


I think these little cheeks get kissed at least 100 times a day.

At one month old, Owen:

Is still wearing newborn diapers

Rarely spits up

Sleeps 5- 7 hours at night without waking (can you say dream baby?)

Still sleeps in his bouncy seat

Loves to be swaddled

Frequently furrows his brow and/or wrinkles his forehead

Looks a lot like his big brothers

We sure love this little baby!
