Our first posting





We thought we'd start a blog to share what is going on with our family - mostly what is going on with Owen. This way we can tell you something about the pictures we're posting. We'll see how this goes :)

It really amazes us how quickly our little boy is "growing up" or at least how quickly he's changing! Over the course of the last two weeks, he has really changed a lot. He started sleeping through the night consistently about 1 week ago! What a blessing that is! He is now very drooly - there seems to be a constant stream coming out of his mouth. He is also so much better at reaching for and grabbing toys. His favorites are link-a-do rings and his little friend "T" the turtle. He often will grab them and put them in his mouth too. And, if no toys are around, we'll often find him laying on his side (new too) sucking his hands and jabbering away. He's rolled over from his stomach to his back two times. He is also very talkative - some of his favorite "words" are: "Agoo", "O", "Abu", and "oooeaaiiuuu." He's found a bunch of different pitches that his voice will make too. We classify them as his sweet sounds and his loud sounds. He tell him we prefer the sweet sounds. Sometimes he chooses the loud ones. Oh well. We keep wondering if he'll be introverted or extroverted. Only time can tell I guess. Very fun! Amazing how much babies change in 3 1/2 months! We're really enjoying these new phases.

Stay tuned for more updates!

Hello from Mom and Meg! We may not be able to get any errands done today now that you have a blog for the family! Thank you for creating it so we can enjoy Owen's progress along with you. He is adorable--Mom says maybe even cuter than Matt when he was a baby (if that's possible). :) Anyway, we love you and miss you three!

I love your Owen (and your blog, too)!

Thank you so much for this wonderful Father's Day gift!

I laughed out loud when I opened it at the office. Your son is changing so rapidly and is soooooooooo cute!

See you in 2 weeks !!!
