Owen measured 24 inches (20 inches at birth)......97th percentile
He weighed 11.10lbs (8.5 at birth)......83rd percentile
His head measured 38.5.....54th percentile (I am debating that one....his head is huge!)
We have been concerned about Owen's head. You have read that we are in love with his magical bouncy seat. Well, Owen is in love with it too much. His Dr warned us about the over-use, and I thought that we were fine because this bouncy seat is deep, and not like other ones. Well, Dave pointed out that his right side is favored, and was a little flat. His left side, which is not favored, was developing a bump, suggesting that his plates were shifting.
Our Dr agreed that she saw an issue. She gave us some exercises to do with him at home, and if he does not improve, he will have to go to physical therapy. Well, we were already doing some of those things (just from common sense) and he went from never using his left side to not hating it. I am sure that with some more concentration, we will be perfect!
We are proud of our big boy :-) Hopefully this means that he'll be sleeping more soundly.
Oh, sleep! This boy has established a routine......not really! Once I figured it out, it's not. I fear every night I will be up late with him, but then it is never as bad as I thought it would be. I am never happy. If he's sleeping all day, I am worried he won't sleep. If he is fussy all day, I am worried that he will carry those issues into the night. Ho-hum!
Owen loves his daddy! And so do I!!! He is my savior! I don't ask him to, but when he gets home, he takes Owen and battles with him during his fussy period. God Bless Him! He has gotten really good at knowing his son and calming him down. I can't wait to hear about the juicy details of their father-son bonding talks when he is older! Here are some pictures of Dave and Owen doing their thing!
Owen and I went to Grandma and Grandpa Weiss for the day today. I asked to see his baby pictures. Well, I am glad that I was there for the birth, because Owen is ALL DAVE! His nose, eyes, mouth and cheeks. Oh, wait! He has my forehead. Well, like I said.....at least I know he's mine :-)
One day at a time with this little guy. For now, stay tuned!!!!!!
