4 months!!!

10 days old!
Just chillin'


Practicing in the Bumbo



Like my boots?



Flying with dad!


Milestones:
- Weighs 14 pounds, 14 ounces, 25.3 inches long! Owen has doubled on the percentile chart since he was born! I guess formula isn't to bad after all!
-Currently eats 5-6 ounces every 3 hours.
-Sleeps through the night...love it!
-Has his first common cold! Not so fun. We spent the entire Labor Day weekend in the house!
-Rolls over on his side from his back. We are working on a complete roll over soon.
-Can fully support his head, which let me tell you is 73% on the percentile chart.
-Working on giggling, but gives only mom and dad a little laugh.
-"Talks" a whole lot more.
-Grasps and plays with toys/rattles.
-Goes to day care 2 days a week and Grandma watches him the other 3.
-Loves to be talked to and likes to play peekaboo!
-Still doesn't LOVE his baths!

We honestly cannot believe how fast our big man is growing. Matt swears by the time he gets home every day, Owen is bigger. I just look at him and think, "what's next?" I really try to cherish every moment with him because it goes by way too fast!

Owen is doing really good at day care, but me on the other hand, still having a hard time leaving him. I love my job though! It works out perfect that it is only a little more than 3 hours. It is just enough time for the both of us to be away from each other.

Matt is in full swing with harvest! Tonight marks his first night of "night harvest!" This means he will be leaving the house around 1:00 a.m. and returning home for a nap and back at it again some time in the morning. Harvest usually goes by fast for us, but we will see what it is like this year with a baby. I am sure Matt is really going to miss Owen. We will make sure to send him lots of pictures and take him some scrumptious lunches or dinners (Taco Bell---his favorite comfort food!).

P.S. We still have not drank the champagne! I see it every time I open the refrigerator. Once harvest is over we will be taking off for the weekend and staying out of town. I assure the champagne will be in hand!

























Prayers, Prayers, Prayers!

Please take a moment to pray for Matt's dear cousin Laney. She is continuing to battle cancer! We know with the power of prayer, she can be relieved of her pain. This picture of Laney with her sister's and dad is so precious to me. This photo was taken at our wedding during the father-daughter dance and it really catches her spirit (Laney is the blond facing the camera). She has the most beautiful smile and as Matt would say, "pretty eyes." We love her so much and are praying for her and her every day! We love you Laney girl!



Also, please pray for my Grandma. She was admitted to the hospital today for back pain. She fell out of bed yesterday and has been in excrutiating pain. We love our Nana and hope she is back to her fiesty self soon. Not sure what her diagnoses is yet, but the doctor believes she may have a herniated disc. We will know more tomorrow after she has an MRI. Love you so much Nana...stay strong!
