Smiles

Owen had a milestone! No - unfortunately still no bottle (for those who read our last post)...and we are definitely appreciating recommendations and prayers on that subject! :) However Owen did have a big night last night - he went to bed at 8pm, and got up at 8am! Totally through the night! Of course he likely woke many times, but never cried out, and therefore gave his parents their first full night sleep in almost 3 months! Owen is actually a great nighttime sleeper. His pattern lately has included a good 6-8 hour stretch: going down around 7 or 8, often getting up just once around 3 or 4, and sleeping until 7ish. But last night was a first, and although it may not become a pattern yet, it is exciting to know he is capable of sleeping that long on his own. And...after a great night sleep, he was full of smiles this morning! We were lucky enough to catch some of his cute expressions on camera. What a sweetie!

(are they ticklish yet? either way, it sure made him smile!)

What a grin :)

Happy as can be, sitting in his seat as we enjoyed breakfast at the Pancake House

(Pancakes look yummy, uncle Blake! Can't wait until I can have some!)
