Owen's 3rd week

I can not believe that Owen is already 3 1/2 weeks old! He is so amazing. This little guy really has some strength. The muscles in his neck, arms, and legs are getting stronger every day. He likes to push himself up with his legs...we just put our hands under his armpits for stability.

I am just amazed watching him move his head around and look at his surroundings. And while laying in his little play gym the other day we almost thought he was going to roll himself over...seems way too early for that! Owen is really discovering what he can do with his hands very quickly...putting his hands in his mouth is one of his favorites (I think).

This week Owen has been visited by his Grandma Cheryl (Angie's mom), who took some time off work to help out. We also were visited today by Grandpa Dan (Angie's dad) and Owen's Great Great Aunt Bev. That was a nice treat. (And yes...that is a "double great", how cool is that?)

Here's a picture of Owen from today...he was hanging out in the swing he got from Grandma Pam (Jake's mom).

2 week check-up

It's been 2 weeks already?!?! Time definitely flies!

Owen had his 2 week check-up yesterday and everything went really well. The little guy is growing like crazy. He is now up to 7lbs 6oz and is 20 1/4 inches long. The doctor said that he looks really good and has no concerns. Overall the appointment went well and Owen only cried for part of it. :) Next, we go in for a 2 month check-up and the dreaded shots...

Here's a cute picture of Owen sleeping...we have lots of these.
