To my Owen,

Good morning baby. Today I put you down for a nap in your big boy crib. I think it's time to graduate from the bassinet. I am watching you from the monitor, and even in your solitude, you succeed in being happy, waving your arms around with the music. A couple of weeks ago, your hands found your mouth, and since then you are constantly trying to fit your entire fist into your mouth. You recently found your hands and arms with your eyes, so you tend to gaze in amazement at each of your little fingers. It's amazing to see how quickly you are growing and developing. You are just 3 days shy of being 4 months already!

You might be able to read about this day later, because the temperature is going up into the 70's today! This is very unusual for our area, so we are going to seize the opportunity to go take a stroll around our neighborhood. One of mommy's favorite things to do with you is to take you out - we've already ran so many errands together, from going to Shop Rite, the bank, many different malls... :) You are becoming a little too heavy for mommy's arm in that car seat of yours, but I will still try my best to take you around with me. I think it's important for you to see the outside world as much as it is to have your quiet time at home. Mommy is trying to find a good balance. Sometimes you get very tired from being out all day, or having guests over to entertain. Still you are always a good sport, and mommy and daddy are always thankful for that.

Love,
Mommy
