Baby Owen's 1 Year Stats

This sweet bubbies had quite the Dr's appt.  He had to get three vaccinations and had his blood drawn for iron and other tests.  He was a trooper though, he is such a strong boy!

These were his stats-

• Height- 33 inches- over 100%
• Weight- 26.12 lbs- 90%

He is still getting so tall and is starting to lose his baby chub :(  But don't worry, he still has some chunky thighs that I can squeeze.

He is saying, na na for no no, ma ma, da da, ga ga and a few other cute things.  He is standing against everything and walking around whilst holding on.  He crawls around at turbo speed and loves climbing up the stairs, to my dismay.  We have to gate the tops and bottoms of stairs now and that is inconvenient with a town house.  We have 3 baby gates that get used multiple times a day. 

He is starting to snuggle more, which makes me really happy since Lola wasn't much of a cuddler and neither was Owen until now.  He is so happy and loves to smile at anyone who admires him.  However, he has been a crappy sleeper lately.  He wakes up and needs a bottle and some loves once most nights lately.  It kills me some nights, I have been spoiled, Lola was such a good sleeper and he used to be as well, so now that he is waking up again I have to remind myself to enjoy these moments since they won't last forever and be grateful for the snuggles he is willing to share.  He usually doesn't stay up for too long so that is good. 

I am still waiting to get some of his birthday party photos from my friends, since my camera sucks and my mom's was broken.  So I will post about that later :)

Owen is 6 Months

This baby boy is a dream come true.  He seriously is such a mild-mannered, happy, and well-behaved baby.  He is such a bundle of joy and I couldn't ask for more.  He evens out Lola's bad behavior when she decides to be a stinker.  She is 2 years old after all.  Owen loves to laugh at his sissy and thinks she is the greatest lady around.  He smiles at almost anyone who speaks to him and he hardly ever cries.  He maybe cries once a day... knock on wood.

He went to his 6 month check-up and here are the stats:

Weight- 20lbs and 7oz, 90%

Height- 29 1/2", 100%

Highlights of the appt- The Dr. said the word "smegma" again (LOL), Owen tried to pee on the Dr., Owen stared at the Dr., with his stern look, nearly the entire time (we were laughing so hard!).  He did have to get some shots but he did great!

Here is the big boy himself, making his trademarked face. (and if you look very close, there is a tiny little tuft of hair that forms a mohawk in the middle of his bald, baby head.

Last but not least, I gave Owen veggies for the first time this week and it was NOT a hit.  We will keep trying...  My friend Kelli was over and she helped with the filming and we were laughing so hard.  You would think we were feeding Owen lemon juice and onions by the look on his face and his reaction.



My Baby is 4 Months Old

Owen boy is now 4 months!  I took him to his check-up and these are the stats. 

• Weight- 16.10 lbs- 90%
• Height- 27 inches- 100%
• Head- I never pay attention...but the percent is 49%

The Dr was so funny, he was saying how huge Owen's hands and feet are.  Then he said that Owen's hands were honestly the biggest baby hands he has EVER seen.  He was shocked at how big they were and kept talking about how he could play any sport he wants when he grows up and would probably be a good piano player too. :)  He was dying when he found out how tall Chris is too.  We breed big children!

Getting some chubs!

Owen's 2 Month Stats

He went to his 2 month appointment on Thursday (a week late) and this is where he is growth wise.

Height- 25"- 97th percentile

Weight- 13.11 lbs- 90th percentile (I hope I didn't get those %'s switched)

Head- around 14" I believe, they didn't write that down- 25th percentile

He is healthy and strong and his personality grows by the day.  He loves to coo and smile and sit up like a big boy, propped with pillows of course.  He spits up a lot which is new to us, Lola NEVER spit up and he can fart with the best of them, he is a boy after all.  We couldn't love him more!  Here he is at his appointment.
