Big Boy!

Today was Owen's 2 month appointment. I should say for the record that he is closer to 3 months than 2 months so the stats are a little bit inaccurate. That said he is a big boy, much bigger than Ryan was. Owen weighed in at a whopping 15lbs 3oz. I did not believe the nurse so we picked him up and measured him again. He is a whopping 24.5 inches!!! Owen is in the +97 percentile for weight and height. If you adjust it for a 3 month old though he is around the 75th percentile for both.

For comparison Ryan was 12lbs 12oz and 23.5in at his 2 month appointment. WOW!

Odds and Ends

Here are a couple videos that I have been meaning to post...

Photo of the week

So this year one of my big resolutions was to spend time developing my photography skills. One way I am doing that is by creating a photo of the week. Most weeks it will probably be a picture of the boys but sometimes it might be something else.

I had several contenders this week --- see previous post. But this picture I just love.

Owen's eyes are looking right into the camera, the way he has his mouth, the lighting, everything about it is fantastic!

This photo is totally unedited. :)

Pictures

Here are a bunch of pictures from this week...enjoy!

I wish this was in focus but he was moving too much.

Let's not forget my other cutie pie eating his breakfast!

I love everything about this...

Mr. Clean

One day last week after Ryan took his nap I asked him a simple question. "Ryan, what would you like to do?" Ryan's reply, "Dishes!" We ran to the sink and unfortunately for him the only dish to wash was a sippy cup. I pulled up the chair anyway and let him play in the water and be a helper or "help-eee" as he calls is. I hope that Ryan continues to be a wonderful helper and I hope that he enjoys doing the dishes for years and years to come!

Washing his cup...

Please note the wet hair. Ryan thought the bottle brush would be good as a hair brush.

Mommy's helper!

Brothers

We have had the hardest time trying to capture pictures of Ryan and Owen together. Most of the time Ryan does not want to have his picture taken. Then when he does something sweet and I run to get my camera he refuses to do it again. Oh well.

Here are a few pictures of my sweet little boys...

Trying to hug Owen during tummy time...

(for the record --- Jeff dressed Ryan this day. Those are PJ pants)

Too funny not to include...

I wish that potato wasn't in the picture...oh well.

Owen's tummy time usually turns into Owen sleeping on his tummy in a matter of moments...

Ryan was so sweet and started rubbing Owen's back..

More hugs!

Double Digits!!

I can't believe that Owen is 10 weeks old today! The time is going by so fast (I know that I say that all the time). Today I was actually boxing up a bunch of clothes that Owen has outgrown. Some of the things were outfits Ryan wore as a small baby as well. I was fighting back tears and trying to be strong while I was deciding what to keep and what to donate. I walked in with the box of clothes that I had packed up as "keepers" and asked Jeff, are we ever going to need these again? I cannot imagine not ever having another baby ---- so for now we'll see. :)

Anyway - Owen is 10 weeks old today and wearing size 2 diapers already! After he peed on me twice (while wearing a diaper) I decided it was time to move up. He is also now in 6 month clothes because he is very long. In the past couple of weeks he has really started smiling all the time. He has one of the most wonderful smiles I have ever seen in my life! He is sleeping like a champion and has actually gone through the entire night quite a few times (WOOHOO!). Most nights he is up once to eat and then goes right back to sleep which is just fine with me. Also in the past couple of weeks Owen has started cooing and he found his hands. He likes to get those little fists right in his mouth anytime he can.

Ryan is loving on Owen more and more every single day. It melts my heart when Ryan gives Owen a big hug or kiss. Ryan loves to bring blankets to cover up Owen and loves to give Owen a paci.

We are beyond blessed with two of the most wonderful and perfect little boys.
