Owen is 1 month old...

After bath which he loves!
Daddy has the trick with getting him to sleep on his tummy...I don't have such good luck.
Owen is exhausted! We just got home from the portrait studio...it was a pretty big workout to get his one month pictures taken!
The "little birdie" face - my favorite!
Big yawn!
Hard to believe it has been an entire month since we brought little Owen home from the hospital. He seems to have his nights and days straightened out which is great for us. His average night right now is going down at 10:30 pm, then up at 1:30, 4:30, and 7:30. He doesn't miss those marks by much, so I'd say he has his schedule down. After the 7:30 feeding, he is pretty awake for a while but that could be because his sister is up and chatting away. Needless to say, we are happy his awake hours are coinciding with our schedule a little better. He loves baths and being talked to. He recently started smiling a lot, especially when I talk to him, so that is very fun. I just decided to give up dairy products because Owen seems to have some gastrointestinal problems. It seems like he has a tummy ache quite a bit, so I'm trying this to see if it will help. I love my milk and cheese, but a happier baby is worth it. These past few days, he seems to be pretty content. He only has had a very short time in the evening (half hour or so) where he is fussy, otherwise lots of sleeping, eating, and quiet awake time. I can't say it is because I have given up dairy yet since they say that takes a few weeks to notice a difference. It hasn't been quite a week yet, so we shall see. We go back to the doctor on Tuesday to have his TSH and Free T4 tested again to see if they are within normal limits. Otherwise, we are doing really well.
