More Pictures ...

One month old!


I'm beginning to think Owen is really long ... look how long his body is already!  Maybe that's why he's 12lbs


Sleeping on his hand ... he loves doing that


Whenever we carry Owen around the house he loves to look out the windows ...

One Month Old!

Owen is officially one month old! I had a nurse come out to the house to weigh him today. When he was born at 8lbs 3oz he landed in the 51st percentile in weight. At his two week check-up he weighed 9lbs 13oz which is in the 75th percentile. The nurse weighed him in at 12lbs 2oz yesterday which is the 97th percentile! Can we say, "CHUNKER"! I cannot believe he's that big. I keep thinking it's unhealthy with how fast he's growing but the doctors and nurses keep telling me he is perfectly fine gaining so much weight so quickly. Let's just pray it slows down or I'm going to have a 100lb toddler :)

3.5 weeks already!

Owen is 3.5 weeks old already! Sorry for the delay in posting. I, unfortunately, found out this website doesn't do a very good job with posting large pictures and videos. I've been updating facebook more often since it's so much quicker. I will, though, attempt to put some more stuff on here!

Things have been going really well. Owen is gaining weight like it's nobody's business. Instead of gaining the average 1 oz a day, he's been gaining 2 oz a day! He was supposed to be at his birth weight at his 2 week check-up and he was 1.5 lbs heavier than that! The dr. said not to worry about too much weight gain. He's just a healthy eater! :)

My days consist of waking Owen up, feeding him, changing him, playing with him, putting him down for a nap, and then starting the cycle all over again. Michael's been gone a lot because of Fire Academy so my days get pretty boring. Owen and I just hang out together all day every day. The positive side of being by myself is extra time with Owen -- we're bonding well!

Health-wise things are ok. My stitches are bothering me and they were supposed to have dissolved over a week ago. I may have to go back in and get some removed. Hopefully I won't need to worry about that and my issues will heal themselves.

Here are some recent pictures.

I did a little photo shoot in my living room :)



My dad came to visit!



This is, by far, my favorite picture taken of Owen! It doesn't look like him since his positioning is forcing his chubbiness to show more but I love it! Look at that smirk!
