2 months and counting

Owen will be two months old tomorrow, it is amazing how fast the time has gone by. Brian gave Owen his first bottle over the weekend. He took it fairly well but it did make me a little sad because I am not completely needed for feedings anymore. It is nice that Brian will be able to help feed Owen and that we will be able to leave him longer than just a few hours in the future.

Owen is starting to discover his hands. Yesterday he was sucking on his finger and he pushed them so far in the back of his mouth that he gagged. His face immediately crumpled and he burst into tears. Poor little guy, it must be hard to discover fingers.... He is also starting to "talk" to us. He has lots of stories to tell especially when he is getting his diaper changed. It is amazing how fast they seem to change, each week he seems to have a new trick. The best trick that he has done this week is sleeping 4-5 hours at night. I know that I am jinxing it now, but it is amazing to be able to get that much uninterrupted sleep!

Brian and I celebrated our third anniversary yesterday. It is amazing how much has changed in the last 3 years. We added a second dog and a baby to the family, I changed jobs and Brian graduated with his MBA. It seems like the only constant in life will be change! We ended up celebrating by going out for sushi and ice-cream (sorbet for me) with Owen tagging along.

This was Owen's first play date that he didn't sleep through. Reese is 4 months older than Owen. He wasn't so sure of the little one laying next to him! Bobbi (Reese's mom) and I got a good laugh because Owen looked looked like he was trying to box with Reese.

Owen's first bottle.

Owen loves to put his hands under his chin.
