Great Grandma Ruth

Today was the first time Owen got to meet my Grandma Ruth (my mom's mom). My mom came with me to see her, so we had four generations there. My Grandma, my Mom, Me, and Owen. It was good that they got to see each other. He behaved mostly just being fussy in the beginning. Grandma was surprised by his size (as he is about 14 or so lbs and 25 in). We look forward to our next visit. Here are some pictures!

Church

Today was the first time I took Owen to church. He did pretty good, he cried in the beginning but then settled down to sleep for the duration. It was good that he behaved. Hopefully in the next few months we will get him baptized. Here are some pictures from the day in this church outfit.

First Smile

Owen started to respond to our voices with a smile and I was able to grab a few pictures of his first smiles. He's so cute when he coos and smiles at you. The top picture I just thought was a cute picture.

Family reunion

Today was Chris's family reunion on his mother's side. It was Owen's first reunion and he was the youngest member of the family. He got his picture taken with the oldest member of the family Great Aunt Mary Lou. I don't have that picture but I will try to get it and post it. Here are some pictures of Owen before we went to the reunion when he was asleep in his outfit.

Football Games

Today we went to watch two high school football games (only staying for about half of each). We started our day off watching Chris and my alumni school Westmoreland and then drove to watch the second half of Chris's brother's football game in Oriskany. Sadly both teams lost. Westmo by 1 point and Oriskany by a few more than that. Owen fussed at the Westmo game and slept through the Oriskany game. Oh well there is still hope that he might like football as he gets a little older lol. Also today we had a chicken BBQ for lunch in support of a local church, YUM!



Bless All Who Lost A Loved One- In memory of 9-11-01

First sick visit

Today I took Owen to the doctor's for his first sick visit. He's been very congested, sneezing, and coughing a lot. Well Chris and I have both been having issues with our allergies this last week so I wanted to make sure Owen was ok. The doctor took one look at him and said that he was very congested (he could see it in his eyes) and said to watch for a fever or heavy breathing but otherwise just give him saline drops and suck out his nose. Poor little man :(

Daddy Went Back to Work

Today Chris had to go back to work after being off since Owen was born. Owen was sad that his Daddy was leaving. Here is a picture of them saying Goodbye.

4 Weeks Old

Owen is four weeks old today!! I can't believe how time flies and how much he has changed already. He holds up his head for periods of time and practices standing when you hold him up. He is gaining weight fast and is a hungry man. We love being parents and can't wait to share Owen with our families that live far away. Here are some pictures from today and a short video of Owen.
