9 Weeks Old!
Owen had his 2 month check up this week which
included his first vaccinations. It was hard to watch,
but he was a trooper. He continues to thrive weighing
in at 10 lbs 1 oz and 22 inches long! This past week we
had a lot of "firsts" , using the Bumbo, Baby Bjorn, going
to church and going for our first walk outside in almost
70 degree weather! Ready for Church

Tired after Church

First Walk
I must have walked around the block 20 times! Owen slept
through it all, but he opened his eyes when the wind hit his face.

Someone gave me this idea. I though it would be fun
to compare the size of Jordan and Owen's feet throughout his life.
8 weeks old

Daddy's Home!
Jordan has been out of town on and off for the
past two weeks, so we were so happy to have
him home Friday afternoon!

Grandma came for a Visit
Jordan's mom came over for a visit while he was out of town.
Owen thoroughly enjoyed her company, as did I! Owen slept in
her arms almost ALL day - she has the magic touch of an experienced
Grandma! Thanks for the visit and we hope you come again soon!

Eyelashes!
Owen finally has eyelashes! Everyday they grow in
thicker and longer. His eyebrows, on the other hand,
are still non-existent.

Batavia Visit
Owen and I headed to Batavia for a week of fun
while Jordan was out of town. We went shopping and
to visit my Aunt Cathy and Uncle Bill. Owen met
his second cousin Jenna and laid in the bassinet my grandfather used as a baby.
I forgot to bring my camera to their house so I don't have any pictures to post,
but thankfully my mom caught it all. We sure missed Jordan this week,
but we had a really nice visit with my parents and my sister.

Since Jordan was out of town and I came down
with a cold I decided that Owen needed to give me
some extra sleep this morning. I laid him
down next to me and within 20 minutes he was snuggled
next to me sleeping. We took an hour long nap together - it was
wonderful!

Photo Shoot
I am obsessed with snapping pictures of Owen
during his tummy time. I took several and decided
to post them all :) Enjoy our little 'nugget'.

This is the best part of our day.

6 Weeks Old!
We can't believe 6 weeks have passed already! Time
has flown by yet it feels like he has always been in our lives.
Owen has been keeping a pretty consistent eating and sleeping schedule.
He's started to smile in response to us and he's awake much more often.
Every morning he appears to have changed a little over night.
Tummy Time
Owen gets a little tummy time everyday. He's getting
pretty good at lifting and turning his head to my voice. I
caught a few shots today of the event....in the last picture
it looks as though he is saying "Okay Mom, I got my head up
and I spit up, are you satisfied?"

Big Boy Hat
Owen finally graduated from his small hospital
hat to a new hat today! I took this picture right
before going to the pediatrician regarding his carrot face.
The doc had no concerns about his color and we got
the great news that he now weighs 8 lbs 8 oz! Hopefully
I will soon post pictures with his face closer to the color of
his hands :)Bath Time
As first time parents we dropped the ball on taking
'first bath' pics, so I summoned Jordan last night
to get some bath pics. The first 2 pictures are post bath and
don't truly capture his feelings about bath time.
The third picture, however, says it all.

First Visit to Batavia, IL
We drove to Batavia a couple of weeks ago and it was
our first long trip. Owen did fantastic- slept the whole time!
Owen is the first grandchild on my side of the family. Several of my
relatives admitted that they hadn't held a baby in years.
It was fun to show him around the house I grew up in. I am
excited to see him run around the yard that I used to play in as
a child when my grandparents lived there.
