Seven week photo of Owen!

Here is Owen sportin' his onesie from Aisha, Dave and Katelyn!!!


It is a little big...but it is also sized for a six month old!

What else is new here??
Melissa is working from home and is being as productive as possible in between feedings, playing with Owen and putting him to sleep. Clint hurries home to spend time with Owen and eat dinner as a family (well...Owen sits in his bouncy seat on the floor...but has been staying awake (and quiet) throughout!). We switched bottle types last night. We're now trying the Playtex VentAire Advanced bottle for his last feed of the day. It seemed as though both Clint and Owen liked it! Clint verbalized that he wants to always use that bottle from now on, and Owen's middle-of-the-night grunts were minimal. Must have worked well!


We read a new book today. It was a gift from Harris, Katie and Tucker Rhodes and it is titled "Owen"!!! Melissa went online to find a picture of the book and was surprised to see that this little book has a review! HA! Here it is:

Owen by Kevin Henkes is about a little mouse who loves his fuzzy yellow blanket. He does everything with his fuzzy friend. Owen eats and sleeps with Fuzzy. Owen loves Fuzzy, his baby blanket.
There is one small problem. Owen is starting kindergarten soon. He cannot take Fuzzy to school. His parents try several things to separate Owen from Fuzzy. The nosy neighbor, Mrs. Tweezers, offers many suggestions. They are unsuccessful.
Finally, Owen’s mother finds a solution. She makes many Fuzzies by dividing Fuzzy into little fuzzy handkerchiefs. Owen can take a little Fuzzy to school in his pocket. Everyone is happy!
The juvenile book is perfect for the little one unable to face separation from the baby blanket. Preschool and elementary kids will find that they are not the only one with separation problems. After reading the picture book, the child and parent can discover a way to solve the problem.
Kevin Henkes the author of Owen is a popular writer of childrens' story books. Owen is a Caldecott Honor Book.
Kevin Henkes is the artist of the book’s illustrations. He uses watercolors to depict Owen, his parents and nosy neighbor, Mrs. Tweezers. The pictures are as warm and fuzzy as Fuzzy.
