Photography

One of my friends is starting her own photography business and she came over last week to practice on Owen. He was a little fussy (this was before our magical formula change) so she is going to come back next week to take some more. Here is a few from her first visit...

Happy Baby

Hopefully this is a sign that the new formula is working. He slept better last night than he has in a long time which means we got a little more sleep than normal!

Bath Time!

4 Weeks and a Guard Dog

I can't believe Owen was four weeks on Thursday! His sleeping schedule is still not great- he is having a really hard time in the evenings. We are on our third formula to see if it will help ease his tummy pains. The formula we started today is for babies with colic- hopefully we will see good results soon! We are also using Gripe Water and Mylicon. I am open to any other suggestions and remedies!!!

Tucker and Ashley came and to spend the night and cook dinner for us last weekend. We had a great time relaxing and enjoyed our steaks! Tucker got to experience feeding an infant and did quite well with it. Here are some pictures from their visit.

On another note, Striker has become very protective of Owen. He has to be wherever Owen is and constantly follows me around when I am holding him. When Owen cries, Striker looks at me like I need to make it stop, then runs and gets his toys to bring Owen. This is his favorite spot when I am feeding Owen.

3 Weeks

I am a little late posting this but here are some pictures from the past week.

Grammi and Gramps came to visit.


This is after our first stroller ride around the neighborhood.

Gigi gave Owen these sweet booties.

Dinner Out

Last night we took Owen out to eat for the first time. My parents took us to Desperados and as you can see from the pictures, Owen did great. He still seems so tiny to me for this car seat but he slept so well in it all throughout dinner. It was nice for all of us to get out of the house for a little while!

2 Week Appt.

Owen had his 2 week appointment today and everything went great. His weight is up to 7 pounds 6.5 ounces and his height is 20 1/4 inches. The doctor was very pleased with his weight gain- they were wanting him to be at least back at his birth weight of 6 lbs 10 oz.

Owen did great while Dr. R examined him!
