I love this picture.

First Trip to Ohio

So much has happened in the past week. Owen is getting a lot stronger and is perfecting the head lift. He can even turn his head when he lifts it. Another of O's new discoveries is his tongue. He sticks it out, licks the roof of his mouth, and even seems to taste the air with it like some wild animal.

We spent a long weekend in Ohio so Owen could meet his great grandparents and spend time with his grandparents, uncle, and other family members. While we were there Owen took his first trip to Walmart and his first trip to a restaurant. Before we left we visited with Dave and Michelle who just got married. They are pretty much perfect for each other and have the world's cutest cat.

Here are some photos from Owen's first trip to Ohio...

High Maintenance Baby

Well, we didn't sleep for 5 hours last night because Mr. Hungry Hungry Hippo didn't want to miss his midnight feeding again. My darling son talked in his sleep all night! We kept getting up to check on him because he was being so rowdy in his bassinet, but he was sleeping during his talking spells. He's a weird one, and he has been high maintenance all day. He just wants to be held and cuddled. Of course it's way cute, but I have packing to do. We're headed to the great state of Ohio this evening.

Man, I love those lips!

A Good Night's Rest

Look at those long legs!

We slept for 5 straight hours last night! Hooray! Owen slept through his midnight feeding, so we slept from 10:00 until 3:00. He wasn't interested in going right back to bed after the 3:00 feeding, but I was so excited that he slept for 5 hours that I didn't even care. I also didn't mind being peed on twice and spit up on before the sun was barely up this morning. We had a good day just hanging out and staring at each other. I decided to deviate from my usual "Jesus Loves Me" routine and did a little "You are my Sunshine." He seemed to like that too.

Yesterday we made our first trip to the grocery store. It was about time. You'd think I was Old Mother Hubbard or something. Our cupboards (and refrigerator) were bare. We were successful and made it home with any incidences. Owen is a good shopper.

We got O's birth certificate, SS# and both of our hospital bills in the mail. My bill is more than Owen's by about $500, but our insurance should cover it as soon as he is added.

Owen's Big Sneeze

When you're this small, everything you do is cute.
