4 month check up


Yesterday Owen had his 4 month check-up. Doctor visits are fun because we get to see how much he has grown and hear about how well he is doing and thriving. :) Makes a mama feel good. Doctor visits are not all good though. At the end of these early appointments (2 month, 4 month, 6 month) there are shots that need to be administered. Usually 2 shots and 1 oral something or other. I wish they could administer all vacines or drugs or anything helpful to the body orally. SO MUCH EASIER! It wouldn't even have to taste good. Still better than a shot.

I'm ready for my check-up!
He's actually 4 months and 1 week

So, anyway, Owen is weighing in at 14.6 lbs and just over 26 inches. He's long and lean...although you wouldn't know it just looking at him. He has some chunky little legs and I love love love them! He even rolled over in both directions for the doctor when she came in. It was great, it was like he was trying to show off and say "Doc, I'm doing great! You don't need to give me any shots right?"
I guess she didn't quite agree.
Look at the bandaids! Poor little guy got a shot in each thigh.
She does think that he is doing great and seems to be a very hapy and active baby.
He had a bit of a rough afternoon but by the evening he was doing much better. I fed him and gave him some baby tylenol and that seemed to help a lot. 
 Oh, and taking baby bandaids off is almost as bad as taking off your own bandaid.
I'm definitely making Scott do that next time.
And here he is this morning - happy, bright eyed and bushy tailed. Check out that belly!

Learning so much

Lately little Owen has been learning some new things...
such as hanging out on his tummy

and rolling over on to his side and then back to his tummy

It's so fun to watch him slowly (but actually quite quickly) learn these new things.
He has also started holding the bottle when he gets fed while I'm at work.
"I so got this dad. Don't you worry about it."

Just so you all know...I am NOT pregnant anymore! Woot!!
(Check out how huge I got!)
I stopped being pregnant (thank God) at 5:59 Tuesday evening, February 7th, 2012 and we welcomed into our arms, hearts and family little Owen McAllister Jones.
 11 days old


He has been bringing us joy and laughter and tears and more love than we even can begin to have a clue what to do with.

(2 months and 1 week old)
(3 months and 1 week old)
Here he is today, so stinkin cute it hurts and all I want to do is stare at him all day long!!






He's four months now by the way. Times flies so fast!!
