The Brittons

Peek...playing on the activity mat Gracie thinks she needs to play on Owen's activity mat, too. And in his car seat. Sleeping Owen at about a week old It doesn't seem like it has already been 3 weeks since Owen was born. The time goes by so fast. He is much more alert than he was even last week. There are a few times each day that he will stay awake for over an hour. Most of the time he is pretty content, but it seems that he cries more than Gracie did. At night he doesn't always like going back to sleep right away, either. Owen had his 2 week dr. check up last Thursday and had already gained over 1 pound since birth. He was 9 lbs 12 oz at his appointment. He is a healthy boy and the doctor was impressed with him. He eats about every 3 hours or so. He can go 3 1/2 to 4 hours at night.

Owen in his swing 3 days old Already smiling at 5 days old! Sound asleep 1 week old Never too young to ride, right? The last week has gone by so quickly. We have had quite a few visitors and Nick has been back at work all week. The first home football game has come and gone, so that is over with. Nick's mom came up that evening to help with both Gracie and Owen. Owen has fallen into a pretty good routine of sleeping and eating. He has been sleeping well at night and for the past few nights has only been up a couple times, usually every 3-4 hours. I can't complain about that at all! I'm so happy to get sleep when I can. We also took him to church this morning for the first time. He was a bit noisy, but did pretty well overall. Gracie was content going to the nursery. This week will probably be more of the same. Both Gracie and Owen have to go in for their 2 year and 2 week check ups at the dr. We'll see how much more weight they have both put on. Owen alr...
