4 weeks old

Today Owen is 4 weeks old! He is growing too fast.

What Owen is up to:
*eating 5 ounces about every 3 hours during the day and about 5 hours during the night.
*loves his bath
*wearing size 3 month clothes
*wearing size 2 diapers, this is only because we were out of size 1 and we were given a box of size two, so I tried, and they fit!!!!

He has his 1 month appointment next Monday, so the stats will be up soon. I can't wait to see how much he has really grown. It just amazes me how he has changed in such a short time. How quickly you forget, even from just 2 years ago.

Ella still has good days and bad. At times you can really see the jealousy in her, but over all she has done very well with her new brother. :)

Owen's Newborn Pictures

Last week our photographer (Natalie) came to our house and took pictures of Owen and the family. It went well other than Ella's meltdown and Owen peeing on me. I'm so thankful Natalie is so patient and has a daughter days apart from Ella. They turned the out beautiful!!! Thanks Natalie to another great session with you! :)

*The reason for the baseball glove, is because Chris was a pitcher in High School and College. The Cowboy hat was my grandfathers, that has since gone to be with the LORD ~ (O how I miss him) it has been bronzed.

Family Fun

Saturday Chris's family came over to visit. They brought food and it was yummy!!! Thanks Aunt Shannon (Shassy) that is what Ella calls her, it is too cute to hear. Ella had a great time playing with her cousins. She is quite the little princess when they are here, she is the ONLY girl. I think she takes full advantage of that one.

Owen is 3 weeks old

Today Owen is 3 weeks old!!! I cannot believe next week he will be a month old. He has started to smile. Such a cutie!

Masterpiece

Ella created a masterpiece of tape on the fireplace tile. She makes me laugh!! :)

Prince Charming

Our Prince Charming is 2 Weeks old as of yesterday (9/9/09). Today he had is 2 week check-up. The DOC said he is right on target.

His stats:
weight-9lbs 6 1/2oz
length-22 1/4

Which makes him 90% for height and 50%-75% for weight. The DOC says he will more than likely be tall and thin. I am curious to how tall. I have a female cousin who is 6 foot and her brothers are 6.5 and 6.7. The DOC told us to NOT wake him up at night to feed him, he will let us now when he needs to eat. This may cause him to later, NOT sleep through the night. Which makes perfect sense. What a blessing to have a healthy, happy child!

I love you Owen!!!! :)

Pre-School Update~

Ella has been waking up during the night crying, saying "No School". I feel so bad for her. I guess she might be a little too young. Chris and I have decided NOT to make her go, if she does not want to. I will have to think of things to keep her busy during the day, while I take care of Owen. It will be fine. I just can not continue to take her and her cry like she does. And have NIGHTMARES!!!!! I guess we will try this again next year. :)
