How is it that a baby can know exactly when you leave the room that has the spit rag (burp cloth, whatever it is)???!?!? It's amazing how they coordinate their spit-ups with that exact moment.
Oh yeah, and if they like the pacifier so much, why keep spitting it out? I try to tell Owen to use logic - if you want it, don't discard it. But does he listen?! Oh, no.

Hangin' with Jack and Lucy
Now don't these three look like trouble?
I'm sure Jack is upset about something his dad just said...get used to it, Jack.

Small Town Doctor's Visit
So, maybe it's because most of our friends grew up here in Arlington and we all live in the same area - but Arlington is a really small town...you know, for having 350,000 people. We found our pediatrician through several of our friends who just raved about him. So, after we met him, we told our friends Matt and Donen (Matt sits next to Ryan at work) about him so they could check him out too. Matt and Donen's boy, Ethan, was born 10 days after Owen.
So, we went for Owen's 2 week check-up on Tuesday. Tara had already seen Jill go in and take Henry back for his shots. When Jill was checking out we could see her behind the glass talking to someone. We could see her say bye and when the door opened...it was Matt and Donen with Ethan. There were only 5 patients in the office and the group of us made up 3 of those. It was weird.
Owen had a good check-up. He's putting on the poundage, getting back up close to his birth weight. Grew a little more - up to 21" (I'm telling you the original measurement was wrong). His jaundice cleared up, so no more trips to the lab. He spits up a lot, which might be due to some reflux. So, at 2 weeks old, he's on the antacid. Tara says it's revenge for all the heartburn he gave her during pregnancy.
And if anyone is wondering about Tara - she's feeling good and has already lost 13 of her 27 pregancy pounds. Doin' good!

Visitor's Galore
We've had lots of folks come by to see Owen. Kyley made her first visit Monday night when Casey and Holly brought us Coker's barbeque for dinner. Then Tuesday afternoon, Anne (pronounced Ahn-nay, which is Turkish for mom - Ryan's mother) and Aunt Ta (Ryan's sister) came for a visit. They stayed one night and helped around the house and pampered Owen. There wasn't a grunt that didn't go unattended. Ryan's dad warned us that would happen. Then tonight Jill and Syd dropped off some supper, breakfast for tomorrow (mmmm...pigs-in-a-blanket - said in a Homer Simpson voice) and some banana bread from Whitney (thanks, Whit!). Needless to say, we've been pretty much spoiled. The crazy thing is that folks from our church are bringing us food for the next 3 weeks! How awesome is that?!
Casey and Kyley
Meeting Aunt Ta. They were a little unsure of each other at first, but it only took about 5 minutes for him to figure out that this was a lady to be nice to because she'll bring him stuff- he catches on quickly.
Anne rocks Owen to sleep.
Kyley's first visit. Hard to think that in just 3 months he'll grow that much. He's just a little guy now.

Syd's gonna be mad that I put the candid shot in here.
This one should get her approval though - they were ready for this picture. Dinner was great, girls! Thanks!

The Room's Almost Done!
We won't give it all away because we're waiting for the finishing touch...but here's a glimpse of a work in progress.
A Nice Package from Ryan's Office
We received a really cool cookie bouquet from Ryan's office over the weekend. And these cookies aren't just for decoration - they're good! But we're not being total hogs - we split one cookie because they're ginormous (which is now officially a word according to Webster's).

Stuff from Uncle Benner
Owen got a package full of clothes form Uncle Benner the other day. Here he is wearing one of his outfits. We've received lots of packages from folks over the last week, so thanks everyone!
The Funny Faces of Owen
This is what happens when Dad blows in Owen's face - hey when you wait 9 months for them, they need to entertain you somehow!You go from this...
To this...
Tara will talk like it's soooo mean, but if you look real close in the mirror in the background you can see her laughing - busted, Mom!
