Two months old

Owen is two months old and went in for his apt yesterday.
He is growing like a weed! The nurse had to measure twice because he is two inches taller!
He weighs 13 lbs. and is 23 inches long.
He got 4 shots and he was so sad yesterday. That is so not like him!
He seriously is a happy and social little boy.
He was smiling and laughing and talking to me and the NP. She was surprised because that behavior usually doesn't happen until 3/4 months.
Anyway, the rocking chair photos begin.

We will take these each month for his first couple of years then slow it down.
I usually do a shot of the whole chair... to see how he grows relative to the chair... and a close up. What a cutie!


This little guy loves the changing table. He is so happy up there! We strap him on and he is content to watch outside until he falls asleep! Pretty cute! I know I love the changing table, I'm glad my kid does too! Money well spent!



For those of you that know Matt, you know he is the king of nicknames. If he knows you pretty well, chances are he doesn't call you by your given name. I don't know if he has ever called me Carolyn. When Owen James was born he had to give him a nickname right away. He sat and thought for only a few moments and decided it was O-Joe. OJ is just too exfootballplayerturnedmurderer for us! O-Joe has evolved into O-zone, Ozark, Oje and Ojie/Jujee (a slight mockery of my father's name for our deceased dog Kujo). Just recently we discovered Q has this gene too and her nickname for him, Zozee has stuck!

He sure is a good little boy and we love having him in our family! In fact last week G asked me when we could have a little girl to go with our little boy!
