Now I fear that I’m going to give Owen a complex, always reporting on the mass of the boy! Anyway, I’m actually quite happy with how healthy he is, and what a good eater he has turned out to be. Much better than the alternative! Owen reached the 5-week point this past Wednesday… the weeks are flying by! I have uploaded quite a few new pics (broken into gallery A & gallery B) for your viewing pleasure. I also have a funny Ayden tid-bit to report. He often plays with a decommissioned cell phone of my mom’s. When the phone first powers on, it displays a picture of a rose. Yesterday, Ayden finally recognized what the picture was, and he pressed it to his nose saying, “Flower - smell!”. Very cute and very funny. He then wanted both Patrick and I to smell the picture on the cell phone - which of course we did!

Owen is four weeks old today! Having reached this milestone prompted me to weigh him. Drum roll please… FOURTEEN POUNDS! Yes, four weeks and fourteen pounds! Unbelievable, isn’t it?!?! The child just keeps packin’ it on! And he seems pretty happy about doing it! He’s also just starting to crack a smile - still trying to catch it with the camera - it remains elusive. He is also just starting to vocalize by making little guttural sounds in the back of his throat - I suppose this is referred to a “cooing” in the text books. It’s pretty precious no matter what you call it! I’m really making a concerted effort not to miss any of Owen’s little developments due to the craziness and chaos of having two kids in the house, one of whom is very nearly two years old! Enjoy the pics of the past week! I’ll keep ‘em coming!
Wow! I can’t believe I’ve actually managed to post Owen’s first three weeks of photos in one day! Yipee! Much thanks to Grandma Kelly and Grandpa Guy for stopping by and occupying the kidlets while I get this done! I don’t know how much Owen weighs in at after three weeks… I’ll have to try to get a guestimate using our home scale a little later. Suffice it to say that he’s plenty round and juicy! He barely fits into the clothes meant for a three month old! And Ayden is also growing like crazy right now… as is his vocabulary - which unfortunately includes several swear words at this point (I guess that means Patrick and I use them too much ourselves!?!?). Ayden is also putting multiple words together now (like “go see daddy”, instead of just saying “daddy” or “see”). It makes communicating with him SO much easier and less frustrating for both of us. It has been a pleasant development! Oh, and Ayden is finally on his third night in “big boy” bed. He has done a great job with the transition and only came out of his room once on the first night! I hope it’s not too good to be true! Anyway, I’ll do my best to stay on top of the photos as Owen progresses! We have some fun stuff coming up this summer that I’m sure I’ll report on (Uncle Barney’s birthday, Ayden’s birthday, Daddy’s birthday, Emery’s birthday, Independence Day, etc, etc, etc). Until then…
I don’t have more than a few moments this morning to get these photos posted… but enjoy! They are of the first week of Owen’s life - yes, I know, he’s over three weeks old as of today… but time moves at a much slower pace these days! I’ll try to get some more photos posted later during their naps - no promises though!
