Formula

Chris and I decided that we would start supplementing formula once a day with Owen to get him adjusted to formula because it has some vitamins that the pediatrician said would be good for him. He took it pretty well and seems to do good with it.

Losing his hair

Owen has lost most of his hair on the top of his head. He joking looks a lot like his grandfathers now, since their hair dos are so similar. I took a picture of Owen with my dad to show the resemblance lol.

First Scrimage

Today was the beginning of this year's football season for Chris's brother Brandon, this is his senior year. We went to watch him in a scrimmage today. Owen slept for most of the game, but it was his first non the less.

Owen's First Week in the World

After our first week as parents we have survived ;) Owen has been an adventure as we learn what he wants when he cries and his habits. We had our first doctors appointment on the 12th and Owen checked out great, he weighed in at 9lbs. Then we also gave him his first bath yesterday, he wasn't a fan of the water. We are so impressed by all our little boy does so far. He grasps your hand with his fingers when you play with him or when he eats. When he is awake, which is only a few hours during the day and a lot at night, he looks at you with his dark steely-blue eyes to see what is going on. We can't wait to see what he can do as he gets older.

Here are a variety of pictures from the hospital until now (they may be intermixed):

Happy Birthday!!

Today we welcomed our new baby boy into this world! Owen Alexander Smith was born by c-section at 12:54pm. He weighed in at 9 lbs and 2.8 oz and measured 22 inches long.
