2 months and counting




It's amazing how fast these days are flying by. Owen is now almost 10 weeks old. He had an appointment today and weighed 14 pounds, 1.5 ounces. He's 25 inches long too, so is in the 90th percentile for weight and the 95th for length. He's so cuddly and chunky. We absolutely can't get enough of him! All three kids ask often to hold him and snuggle him. There's no shortage of hands willing to care for him, and that is a huge blessing.

Lately, Owen has been sucking on his fist a bunch, and even rolled over once this past week. He's smiling, cooing, and interacting, which of course makes us all just go goofy over him. Even his older siblings are more excited now that he can "do" something. He is such a sweet and laidback baby, like I predicted he'd be when he took his sweet time being born. We can't imagine life without this sweet blessing.

We are looking forward to celebrating him Sunday at a baby shower some friends are hosting for us. I am so tickled that we have time to share him with others who have diligently prayed for his life, even from the first days we knew he existed!
