Labor Day in Annapolis

Andy and I decided to be adventurous this Labor Day so we packed the diaper bag and stroller and headed down to Annapolis for the day. We stopped off in the old neighborhood so we could show Owen off then went downtown for some sushi.

Owen's first time in a sushi restaurant, which he slept through.

After lunch went down to the waterfront on the city docks for some pictures. Owen slept through it. (notice a pattern here)

Finally we went to the Navy campus to walk around some more because it was such a nice day and we wanted to take full advantage of it.

Here's Owen on the campus - yes, sleeping.

We got nearly all the way back to the car before Owen woke up, so perfect timing to feed him and hit the road again. It was a very nice day!

365 Days of Owen

I just started a new blog, 365 Days of Owen, that you can check out at www.owen365.blogspot.com. The new blog will feature a new photo every day for those of you who don't get to see Owen so you can check out how he's growing. It won't have much commentary or stories, just pictures and captions. And I'm committed to doing it for at least a year, but hopefully it will last longer and hopefully there won't be any gaps. I may not post every day but I will take a picture every day and catch up.

Enjoy the new blog and a video below just for fun. Next up I'll catch up on the last two weeks, from Labor Day in Annapolis to Owen's last doctor appointment. Exciting stuff ahead :)

Look who's one month old!

I can't believe how fast time is flying by. It seems like we just brought Owen home and here he is a month old already!

I took Owen to the doctor Monday for a rash. Yes, it was nothing, but as a new mom, it's my right to take him to the doctor for nothing ;) Anyway, they weighed him and he's growing like a weed! He weighed 9 pounds 5 ounces. He goes back again in two weeks for his 6-week checkup.

Last night I actually got a decent night's sleep. He still only slept in two-hour shifts, but he went right back down every time instead of staying up for an hour or two like he usually does. Maybe it was the eventful day we had, but it sure was nice!

Yesterday we toured Owen's daycare center and met all the teachers and a bunch of kids. Well, I met them. He was sleeping the whole time. In the afternoon we went to my office to meet all my co-workers. Everyone oohed and aahed appropriately.

Here's another cute video too.
