Somehow, Travis and I ended up with a baby who is in the 95th%ile for height. Owen had his 1 month checkup last week. He’s 10 pounds 4 oz and some height that makes him officially tall. I’m not exactly tall (5’3” or maybe 5’4”) and Travis is just under 6 feet. I wonder if this means Owen will be taller than us by the time he’s 7 years old? We’ll see. He was pronounced ‘perfectly fine’ at the doctor with a recommendation to try to get him to start looking to the left, as Owen likes to look mainly to the right. So we’ve been trying to trick him into looking to the left, which is not easy to do with a 1 month old. He’s been cooing more and also makes sounds like a baby pterodactyl (or what we think a baby dinosaur should sound like). He also smiles more now, which is really cute, and surprisingly difficult to properly catch with the camera. We did, however, figure out how to record video with our digital camera and have recorded Owen’s first tub bath for posterity. He was really cute and seemed a little surprised by the warm water at first. He mainly cooed and looked at me while I was bathing him. O also christened his bathtub by peeing on it, as he does with all things he loves (Mom, Dad, panda picture on the nursery wall). In other O news, he actually woke himself up farting this morning. That’s my little trucker baby.
Looks like there might have another chunky monkey on the way…Owen is bigger at 1 month than Molly was!
She was 9 lbs.
