Owen is 3 Months!

Owen is 3 months old!! I can't believe 3 months have already gone by. He is changing every day. I swear when I get home at night from work that he looks different from when I left him in the morning. He is starting to get a personality and a temper at times! We are having fun with him as he is becoming more aware of his surroundings and of us. Below are some pictures of Owen in his clothes bin. On Father's Day we had quite the day with him as he was not a very happy camper. So Ryan decided to stick him in the bin of clothes that I was organizing and it quieted him down for some reason. Must have been the Packer's outfit!

Here are his 3 month pictures. He did not want to smile at us though!



That is about it for now. Ryan and I are just busy with balancing work, playing with Owen, me nursing and pumping and we are training for Chicago Marathon. It has been tough but I have actually been getting in most of my runs. I don't think it will be a personal best though for me.

Back to Work

Back to work for a week now. It has been somewhat difficult being back and juggling that with everything at home and spending time with Owen in the small amount of time when I get home before he goes to bed. Luckily my mom was here to watch him the first few days that I was back so it made it a lot easier to leave him. I did bring him to our future babysitter for a day. I hope he was not too overwhelming or difficult for her. He did take a nice long nap for her, so I think that balanced out a little fussy period. The most difficult part is balancing work with pumping during the day.

Here are some updated pictures of Owen over the past few weeks. I can't believe that he is already going to be 3 months old next week. How time flies!

Owen's Baptism and His First Trip to the Cottage

Owen's Baptism was this past Sunday. Thanks to everyone in our family who was able to come and celebrate the day with us. The priest told us that our group looked like the mob because we had about 50 people there for Owen! Owen was so well behaved, only a small little cry. I think he actually liked the water on his head, since he loves his baths.

Here we are with his godparents, Aunt Lynn and Uncle Mike.

Memorial Day weekend we made our first venture up to the cottage. It was about a 5 hour car drive and Owen did great. The way up only 2 stops, it would have been one for a feeding and diaper change but then minutes after we left from that stop he had a major blow out and we had to stop one more time. One the way home we stopped 2 times also. He was a trooper!

Here is one of my favorite pictures of him sleeping on cousin Jillian. I just love his nose and lips here.
Owen and I went out to the boat house to see what dad was doing. Owen was really looking around, especially at all of the fishing poles. I think he is going to love fishing with dad when he gets a little older.
