So Much Fun

There's not much going on this week. The weather has been pretty warm so we have been going on daily walks/hikes. It sure is nice to get outside some! Owen is really getting to be fun because he is interacting with us more and more each day!

6 Weeks Old

I took Owen to have his 6 week old pictures yesterday! He did really good and even smiled for the camera (click on the title to see more pictures)! Just this past week he grew out of most of his infant clothes. He is too long for them and is now wearing mostly 3-6 month clothes. Hard to believe! He goes to the doctor next week and I am anxious to find out how much he weighs! I am guessing he'll be over 12 pounds....very big for a 6 week old!

Play Time

Here are some pictures of Owen's playtime. His smiles are more frequent now. And while he lays on his tummy he is starting to lift up his head and turn it towards voices. He is learning so quickly and his neck is getting stronger every day.

First Bottle

Micah got to feed Owen for the first time this week! Owen is still not real efficient with a bottle, but I'm sure he'll get better. He's only getting one bottle a day for now though. But he likes his "bonding with Dad" time. Owen and I drove up to Micah's office yesterday for a visit. That's about the most exciting thing we've done this week. We're glad it's Friday so Micah will be home for a few days!

More Visitors!

Melissa flew all the way from Washington DC to meet Owen this past weekend! He is one popular baby! We had a great visit and as it turns out.....Owen is really good at shopping with the girls!

Look at this Smile!!!

Owen was all smiles last night when Dad came home from work!

4 Weeks Old

It's really hard for us to believe, but Owen is now 4 weeks old! The month has just flown by! On Sunday Owen had his first play date.....our friends Enid and Cory brought their son Brock over to play. Brock is 2 weeks older than Owen and it was fun to get them together! Then yesterday Enid and I went to a Breastfeeding Support Group in Reno and it was interesting to be in a room full of other moms and infants. They had a scale there and Owen now weighs 10 pounds, 11 ounces!!! He is definitely healthy and looked bigger than the other babies his age. And he seems to have really big hands and feet....he gets lots of comments on the size of his hands!

Just the Three of Us

We had a great time with all our family these past 3 weeks! Everyone is gone now and it's just the three of us.....and the house seems extremely quiet. But we're getting along and trying to form some sort of routine with Owen. Unfortunately, he's not big on routine yet. So we eat and sleep when Owen wants to eat and sleep. Every day is different. He is growing before our eyes and becoming more aware of things daily. Within the past few days he has become fascinated with the mobile above his swing. He'll watch it in awe like it's the most amazing thing in the world.....pretty cute! Here are some recent pictures of our handsome son.

Growing Boy

Owen had his 2 week doctor's appointment yesterday and he has already grown over an inch! He is now just over 22 inches long and weighs 8 pounds, 12 ounces. Dr. Hall said his growth was outstanding! Micah's family also arrived yesterday, so we really have a full house now. Everyone is fighting over who gets to hold Owen.....he is very loved. Last night he watched his first Aggie football game (the outcome isn't important) and today he had his very first bath! I knew he would love the water......he didn't cry at all. I think he's going to be a swimmer!

2 Weeks Old

We can hardly believe that Owen is 2 weeks old already! Micah actually had to go back to work this morning and we already miss him being home with us! But Kelly's Dad, Mary, Colby and Madison are here visiting and they have been a big help! We also had a fun Christmas yesterday.....but Owen slept through most of it!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas! Owen can't wait to see what Santa brings him tomorrow!

Owen Update

Owen is really doing great! He is nursing well and sleeping in between meals. When he is awake he is very alert and fun to play with. We had a nurse from the hospital come over for a home visit on Tuesday and she said he was perfect! He had lost weight in the few days after he was born (which is normal for nursing babies), but by Tuesday he was already back up to his birth weight. The nurse seemed impressed by this and said he was very healthy and getting plenty to eat! He is missing his Grandmom, but looking forward to meeting the rest of his grandparents in the next week!
