Another finished knit

What started out as this...

Became this...

And looks like this on Owen

Here comes Santa Claus...

We're getting ready for Christmas - we got a tree and Owen had his picture taken with Santa today! He looks like such a big boy in his sweater and cords! There was another 2 month old baby there and I swear Owen looked like he was twice that other kid's size... Just thought y'all would like to see another snap shot of the boy.

New pictures

Our boy is growing!

Well, Owen had his two month check-up today! He weighs 14 pounds 2 ounces and is 24 inches long! He had to get three shots today and he and I both cried but he's been smiling between naps so now I can smile with him. He's in the 90th percentile for weight and height and his doctor is very pleased with his growth. Yesterday I took some pictures of him looking up and around while on his tummy and I'll try to post them soon - the more the camera flashed, the higher up he looked!

More updates later...

Happy Fall!

Happy Halloween and Happy Fall to everyone! I've got a few pictures of Owen from October (I can't believe it's come and gone already). Owen had his first Halloween and he now has his first cold! Hopefully it won't last but a few days as I can't stand to see him so miserable. He was really congested and had a dry cough yesterday but luckily he seems his happy self today and is only suffering with a little congestion. For Halloween, he had two cute orange and white striped outfits and a pumpkin hat to go with them (he didn't want to get too crazy for his first Halloween). I had kitty cat ears and was going to paint a few whiskers on my face but never got around to it. Keith was a jailbird and next year we're going to try to make Owen a police officer to go with it. We had a great time at our annual gumbo/trick-or-treat night at our house and I think we had close to 40 people! Owen and I went trick-or-treating with his cousin, Elliot, although Owen slept through the whole thing! He goes to the doctor on Friday, the 7th, for his 2 month check-up (this will include shots which I'm dreading). I am so curious to find out how much he weighs now as he seems to be growing before our very eyes. Enjoy these pictures and the video. I'll let you know how the doctor's visit goes...

Say Cheese!

I was finally able to get a smile out of Owen and capture it with the camera! He is such a cutie! He is sitting in his Boppy bouncy seat and actually likes it. (I wasn't sure he would since the swing hasn't been that big of a hit with him.)

What a difference a month makes

Owen is 5 weeks old and although we've been taking videos of him, I haven't had the time to post any. He is really smiling at me now and yesterday he began making oohs and aahs trying to talk to me - it's so neat to see him really interacting. The videos here are from 1 week and 5 weeks - amazing to see how much he's changed in that short amount of time.
