The Most Precious Face Ever :)

 

Update on Owen's Life

Owen is now 6 months old. Where did the time go?! We just can't get enough of our fun little baby! Here is a list of some things he enjoys/can do as of now: -He rocks back and forth to a beat, or his favorite "Take me out to the Ballgame" -Still doesn't like Sidney kisses. He never cries, he just does whatever he can to get his face away from her. I'm constantly telling Sidney thank you, but go away :). -He likes to see what's up at his head during diaper changes, which is starting to make it hard to change his diaper. -During each diaper change, I fan off his wet bum with the clean diaper. His new favorite game is putting his foot in the way of the fanning, so I'll hit it with the diaper. He has a little smirk on his face waiting for me to look at him, then when I do, he smiles really big & super proud of himself. -He tried his first food, avacados, and likes them. He has also had some rice cerial, but not a lot. -He LOVES his dad! Daddy coming home from work is a very happy time! As soon as he hears his voice, he is looking all around until he finds where he is at. -He is finally taking good, consistant naps, and sleeps at night too. -He is still very spitty, but a little bit better now that his stomach has matured. I'm still on a very restricted diet, but that's been very nice to be forced into eating healthy. Better for both of us :). -He sits up by himself very well. -His first teeth are almost here!! He is constantly biting on his bottom lip. For a teething baby, he's still pretty dang good! He fusses sometimes, but nothing horrible. If he won't stop, that's when I go to the store, which the new scenery distracts him long enough to give me a break. -He has the cutest face I've ever seen in my life! Also, the cutest smile :). -Sometimes he just wants to cuddle, and I love it. -He can say "dadadada" really good, but has only said "mamamam" a few times. Mostly mamama is when he's fussing :/ -He turns his face away a lot of the time after he gives a smile, very shy like. -For the first time in his life, he is starting to fall asleep in the carseat, instead of screaming for the entire ride! -He is really good at self-soothing, sucking on his first two fingers. I'm very proud of this, because I didn't want to CIO to get here, and I didn't have to! We worked hard on it, and he did great! -In the middle of the night, he wakes up and talks in his crib for several minutes before he cries. I love listening to his voice. I also love that I have time to go to the bathroom before I get him. If I've slept through the talking, and he's crying, I know I've got to hurry and grab him, since he's been up chatting for a while! -He loves raspberries, when I bite his toes, tickle his belly and neck, and nap his nose. -He gives me the cutest smile after each nap. Pretty much, there isn't any reason why we wouldn't love this baby of ours like crazy! He has been such a joy to Sam and my life!! I'm so excited I'm his mom, and can watch him grow and learn new things. Being able to stay home to be with him every day, all day, has been such an enormous blessing. I love that I can literally watch him grow and learn new things every day. I love being a mom!

CHEEKS!

Tummy time with Sidney

I think they kind of love eachother...

Loves his exersaucer!

Owen cries when I take him out of his exersaucer, he loves it so much.

It's cold outside!

Sam bought this hoodie before we even knew the sex of our baby. It's his favorite!

Owen at Two Months Old

Here is a recap of the second month of Owens life: (better late than never...)

-Weighing in at 12 pounds
-Likes to stand on our lap, shaking his little arms until he sits back down.
-Is getting really good at holding his head up
-Smiles really big, and we can tell he recognizes us, which we love!
-Trying to learn how to laugh, but hasn't quite gotten it down yet
-Slept 6 hours straight once! But only once... Mostly it's 3.5-5 hours at a time at night.
-Doesn't mind Sidney kisses anymore
-Sidney loves Owen... a little too much
-Doesn't make near as many reflex faces
-Smiles at me when I pick him up after crying to eat in the middle of the night.  Those are some of the biggest smiles I've seen!
-Doesn't like tummy time, and hasn't rolled over since the first time
-Doesn't like it when I eat dairy, acidic foods, & greasy foods.  I like having an excuse to have to eat very healthy.  It's making both of us feel much better!
-When's he's grumpy, he likes going outside and walking around
-The changing table is his favorite place in the house, and he never fusses when I'm changing his diaper
-Still loves the ceiling fan

Owen a few days old, and two months old.  Look how much he's grown!

We love our smiley baby!

Rolling Over

Owen rolled over for the first time today!  After doing so, he starting fussing.  He didn't enjoy it one bit.

Horse?

Visit to the Auditor General's Office

Last Wednesday we went to go visit everyone at my old job.  They all loved Owen!  We took a picture showing how popular he is on the announcement bulletin board. 2 fliers, and 3 pictures :) 

It was fun to see all my friends after being gone for over a month.  July 1 was 3 years since I started working for them.  We will visit them again, especially at the Halloween Party!

Tummy Time

Owen is working hard to hold head up!  He loves to kick his feet at the same time.

One Month Old!

Sunday, August 7th

OWEN:
Is the cutest little person :)

Loves the fan
Can hold his head up
Lost all his hair on the top of his head
Slept 5 hours at night 4 times, 4 hours several times
Makes lots of grumpy, grunting noises (more than he cries)
Doesn't like Sidney kisses
Falls asleep really fast to the sound of the vacuum
Loves car rides and walks
Makes lots and lots of different faces
Is a really good eater
Outgrew Gerber brand newborn onesies.
Showing that he's gonig to have brown eyes
Smiles big (not on command yet) and when he does, it looks like daddy's baby pictures

Owen really is such a good baby!  We could not ask for a sweeter, easier child.  Let's hope it stays that way when he's two.. and 16 :).  He is growing up way too fast already.  I can't believe how fast the month has gone!

P.S. I think the car seat is shrinking just a bit...
