It's official... Mom and Dad can't possibly imagine life without this little fella. Mom noticed that all the swaying from side to side that she did during pregnancy has carried over. It soothes Owen almost immediately. And nicknames? Whatever suits us in the moment. Mom has found herself filling in the blanks, depending on the situation, with "____y Mc______ington." Stinky diaper merits Stinky McStinkington. A belch like a truckdriver? Gassy McGassington. Mom's favorite so far is Frogger. She now finally understands why she felt so much rounded poking close to her ribcage all the time. Owen likes to draw his knees up to his chest like a little leapfrog.

On Sunday, Auntie Tara and Uncle Mark made dinner for us from soup to nuts. How did they manage that with four of their own little critters at home?! Auntie Tara and Uncle Mark are Mom and Dad's inspiration! Owen can't wait to play with all of his cousins, especially Catherine and John Paul.

This morning brought with it a visit from Grandma and Grandpa A, who made sure to take some pictures before they left. All are in agreement that Owen is the cutest baby in the world.
