2.5 month update

people ask all the time if henry and owen look alike. if you saw the photos I posted not long after owen was born, you noticed they looked a lot alike. to answer that question now ... they still definitely look like brothers but are looking more and more different as time passes (we think). owen favors his daddy more so, but he still has his "own" look. we never thought henry strongly favored either one of us ... he just looked like "henry" to us.

here are some comparison photos of the two at the same age:

owen had his two month check up last week. everything is great. he weighs 13lbs 7ozs (75th percentile) and is 23 1/2 inches long (50th percentile).

henry's stats at this age were: 11lbs 4ozs and 22 1/4 inches.

owen seems longer/taller to us than henry was more so than he seems heavier weight wise.

his cheeks are really starting to fill out though! yummy.

owen fell asleep in his glider in this position. what a nut!

as you can see, he is not missing any meals, ha ha. nursing is still going just fine ... building up fort knox (this is what gary calls our freezer full of frozen milk) in preparation for my impending return to work.

owen is smiling a lot-pretty much any time he can focus on you or if you talk to him you will get a BIG grin in return. he is one happy guy. the only time he really fusses is when he is trying to sleep and his ever present gas bothers him. when he's awake it doesn't bother him as much. poor guy! our pediatrician said to give it a couple of more months to improve.

his onesie says "lovebug" - and he is just that!
