8-week check-up

I (Mom) took Owen to his 8-week check-up yesterday. Owen was a BIG boy and got three shots that contained five immunizations, plus an oral one. He was sad from all the poking and prodding, but he ate well before leaving the doctor's office and it was as though nothing had happened there!

Owen weighed in at 12 lbs, 3 oz! And is officially two feet tall! His head circumference was measured to be 16 inches. That puts him in the 50-75th percentile for weight and head size, and 90th for height! Who would have thought....a 5'7" mom and 5'9" dad have a child that is in the 90th percentile for height! Let's just say, we won't be surprised if that percentile drops over time.

The shots have not really phased Owen too much. He has maintained his schedule, which I am grateful for, but he is not eating as much as normal. I am keeping him on Tylenol for the fever reduction through tonight.

In other news...We've scheduled Owen's baptism for September 20th at our church - Anniston First UMC. The ceremony will take place in the Traditional Service at 10:30am . If you are in the area, or can be in the area, we'd love to see you there!

Rosie and Doug came to visit us last Wednesday night. They are both grandparents and LOVE babies. It was Owen's fussy time, so they both tried their tricks to settle him. Doug was doing GREAT with this new hold (to us) as shown below....that is until we thought it was a cute picture!!! As soon as the focusing light flashed on Owen's face, Owen lost it!!!

Saturday was Owen's first ESPN College Game day with Dad. We had to put him in his Aggie gear!!! You can tell from the picture that he is totally engaged in the game being shown on the TV!!!

Also...I could not resist taking this photo of Owen today. I KNOW the answer to the question on his bib....ooh...oooh....pick me....I KNOW!!! I'll give you a hint...it is not the guy sleeping in the photo!! Just kidding. He needs sleep just as much as the rest of us! What a sleeping sweetie!!! And look at those cheeks!! They are quite pinch-able!!!
