Owen Lost his Title

Owen lost the title of “Newest US Citizen in the house” this past Tuesday. After a long process including many forms and fees, Melissa was sworn in as a US citizen in Atlanta. Now everyone in our house is a US Citizen….even Nash!





Other updates…

Owen is now on a four-hour feeding schedule. Once again, he adapted well to the new schedule. Owen has always been a content baby, but this new schedule makes him even more happy as he gets to sleep longer between feeds. He is still waking up in the night to feed once, but goes right back to sleep afterwards.

It sounds like we have some exciting times coming up. During Melissa’s parent’s visit, we pulled out Melissa’s baby book and found out that Melissa got her first teeth when she was four months old. That is about six weeks away for Owen! YIKES!
Owen’s spit-ups have reduced tremendously. Most likely it is due to the two types of medicine we give him before almost every feeding (four feeds a day). Fortunately, the meds won’t be forever…we just need all of his systems stronger!

Owen is cooing, laughing and smiling lots each day. He loves to have cream rubbed on his chin and around his lips. Bath time is generally quiet and he laughs when the folds in his fat (in his elbows, knees and neck) are cleaned. This past week Gram and Pappy introduced him to his elephant mobile in his crib. Owen loves to watch the elephants go around and around. In addition, he is starting to really check himself out in the mirror. It is too cute.
