My Owen boy is a Momma's Boy!!! I LOVE IT! Carter has ALWAYS been a Daddy's girl, even as an infant she prefered to be snuggled by him, held by him and as a toddler EVERYTHING is about D-A-D!!! OH how I love that this little man at this point in time prefers his Momma!!!
We were so surprised to find out we were having a son, and even more surprised when he came two weeks early!!! He's been a little sweet ever since!
I really love my babies, those first few moments are so special and amazing, I love to hear their first cry so I can take a deep breath and know that I got them here safe and sound.
After that initial "i'm here" cry, Owen was SO quiet while the nurses were working on him...I kept having to ask if he was ok, I knew he had his lungs sucked out, and that he needed a little oxygen (pretty standard stuff) but he was SO quiet, surely there was something wrong I thought, the nurses and my mother in law and sister in law kept reassuring me as they were snapping pictures of the little guy!
At about a week old, Nana Powell whipped out her camera for a photo shoot, unfortunately this little guy is camera shy, and HATED being naked, as soon as we put clothes on him he settled down and let us take a few more pics.
Grandpa's little slugger is right! He looks like my Dad and my grandfather, although this is disputed by those who only know John's side of the family!
Owen on his blessing day. We blessed him in the bishop's office before my parent's left. Owen also goes pale when in a deep sleep so he looks like he's dressed for a funeral rather than his blessing in most of his blessing pictures.
He's usually pretty happy, but he'd just had enough picture taking for the day!
Basking in the sun. Owen was only slightly jaundiced a few days after he was born, but it cleared up quickly with a day in the sun!
At two months old he's alert and happy. He's starting to make baby coo's and smiles when he sees my face....i've been trying to find his funny bone to get his first real laugh (he chuckles in his sleep and has since he was born), but so far he's a tough nut to crack!
Taking a Sunday afternoon snooz
Carter loves Owen, but usually doesn't really involve herself with him much, she's on the go playing in her own imagination world...but lately she's enjoyed sharing her play food with him and last night had fun helping me give him a lotion massage before bed!
Brother and Sister....awwwwww....Owen loves to lay on the floor and listen and watch Carter play around him, i'm hoping they'll get along and play well when he gets a little older! What a joy it's been to have Owen added to our family, he's starting to sleep a little better at night and is a champ during the day. He's healthy and strong and just a little love. I know it sounds silly as he's still so small, but it's so much more different having a son, I never understood what my mom used to sayuntil I had two kids - that you love your children equally,just differently...I guess maybe it's just a mom thing!
I just love these two and can't wait to see what the future has in store for our little family!
