Wandering Browns

Once Owen got his two month vaccinations, I felt better about flying to see family. Owen took his first flight at 2.5 months old, and did OK. There is definite room for improvement, but I think part of it will be me timing feedings correctly so that he is hungry and will eat when we are going up and coming down so that his ears feel better. On the way to Denver, the only thing that made him stop crying was to take off his pants and socks, so he hung out in a onesie for most of the flight! On the way back, he ate and fell asleep quickly on the airplane, but screamed while we were boarding and getting off the plane. We'll see what our next flights to California in April bring! Digging in the dirt and playing monster trucks... We flew in from the bitter cold of Chicago winter to balmy, lovely temperatures in the 50s and 60s. What a blessing to get outside without being hugely bundled, soak in the sunshine, and run around! We met up with Austin's cousins and their kids at

Cool as a cucumber in his jeans Brothers... So smiley! Owen is three months old! He is such a joy and a snuggle bug! We don't have stats for this month because he doesn't have an appointment until next month, but he is definitely growing! This month, it seemed like his cheeks shrunk and grew again as his whole body grew. He is growing out of six month clothes and fitting nicely into nine month clothes. His hair is wearing thin on the sides, but still sticks straight up on top, and is thickest in the center on the back of his head. His eyes are a very interesting gray color- they remind me of my sister Hannah's eyes when she was little. He loves to smile and laugh and we discovered this month that he is very ticklish under his arms! Whenever I change his outfit he lets out a burst of giggles. The hair will not be tamed! Owen has slept as long as 5 hours in a row at night, but averages 3 hours at a time... so I'm still tired! He's a great eater and
