3 Months Old

I can't believe that Owen is 3 months old already! It has gone by so fast and I can't believe how big he is getting.

• He has found his voice and chatters all the time.
• He is wearing 3 month and 3-6 month clothing now.
• He fits into his size 1 diaper perfectly. 
• He now rolls to both sides when on his tummy. We are still practicing rolling from his back. That dang arm just gets in the way every time.
• He likes to chew on his hands. He doesn't really suck them just chews. 
• He can hold his head up most of the time. 
• He likes to grab the tag of his blanket.
• He is rarely in the same spot in his crib that I put him in when he went to sleep.
• Most nights he sleeps for a 6-7 hour chunk. He takes about an hour and a half nap in the morning and a 2-3 hour nap in the afternoon with some short little naps in between.
• He likes to watch sports with Andrew and will sit so contently on his lap. He is training him young.
• He really enjoys his bath and has started to kick in the water.
• He likes being read and sung to and will often coo along. Some of his favorite songs are the itsy bitsy spider and pat a cake.

Owen's New Trick

On New Year's Eve Owen learned to roll. This is is second roll ever and has gotten even better since then. Yay for milestones!

Great Grandma Belnap

We love you grandma. Enjoy your reunion with grandpa.

So glad we got to spend Christmas with you. 

She had 8 children, 45 grandchildren, 143 great grandchilden and 1 great great grandson. Glad to be a part of such a big family. So happy families can be together forever. 

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas from the Browns! 

This year I decided to make matching pajamas for Christmas. I think they turned out well. I haven't decided if it's going to be a tradition yet. I guess we will have to see. 

Lights on Temple Square

While we were in Utah last weekend, we also saw the lights. It was so pretty and a great way to remember the reason for the season with the different nativities. It was fun to see them with my family. It rained a little but nothing too bad. Owen stayed bundled and slept but I'm sure he would have enjoyed them even more than our Christmas tree, which he stares out all the time.

Forever Families

Last weekend my aunt and uncle got sealed in the Draper, Utah temple. I am so grateful for temples and the priesthood. It was beautiful and I'm glad that I was able to attend. Families are so important to me and it helped me remember the same covenants I made when Andrew and I got married and sealed. We are so blessed to be able to be with our families for time AND all eternity. 

My grandpa and grandma were at the reception so it was fun to see them. It had been about 4 years since I last saw them. They were excited to see and meet Owen.
