Little Owen just turned one month old! I can't believe it, it has gone by so fast in one sleep-deprived blur. The first couple weeks were just survival mode. The question I've been asked the most is what is it like to be a mom. To be honest, it has been harder than I thought it would be, but also so much better. I love him so much, I can't believe it. Our days have been sleeping, snuggling, crying, lots of diaper and wardrobe changes, and eating all. the. time. All that eating must be doing something--he is in size 1 diapers and some of his 0-3m clothes are getting too small!

| Look how big he is! |
Lately he has been becoming more and more alert. He's got big, blue, intelligent eyes and loves to look around at everything. He is starting to make eye contact. He loves going for walks and looking at the trees and getting fresh air. He still hates baths, but loves car rides, they calm him down every time.
Owen has gotten to spend lots of time with both grandmas and we are really grateful for all their help.
He's also starting to practice his smiles, and although they're not intentional yet, they are my favorite.
He also loves his daddy. They spend a lot of time snuggling and rocking.
Matt is already a great dad. He's a champion diaper changer and a huge help.
Owen's first pumpkin patch.
Owen's first costume-- He dressed up like a little minion for the ward Halloween party
He didn't like it much
It's a little bit bitter sweet watching Owen change so much already, but we're so excited to watch him continue to grow and see what the future has in store for him.

You are so brave to go out with him so early! I think I waited for ages to go out with Nathan. Too afraid that he'd have a blow out or something and I'd be a mess... You all looks so happy. Congrats! And LOVE the costume.
