We're a little remiss on our blog updates. Apparently this whole having a baby thing is actually really a lot of work. We've had a busy almost five weeks. Tanya's sister, mom, and Aunt Susanne and my mom visited and I returned to work full time after being off for one week and working from home a second week. Between it all it feels like there is hardly a spare moment.
On the upside all the busyness is to support what might be the world's cutest baby (I swear there is no parental bias here). Owen is doing well, and growing by the day. He is up one and a half pounds since we brought him home from the hospital, and while he is still not a giant baby, his 8lb 1oz body (as of May 14) is certainly bigger than we started with. The other day I put him in the striped jump suit which he came home from the hospital in; when we came home it fit him like a tent, now it fits him pretty well. Some of the smaller newborn clothes don't fit at all any more. Overall he is a happy healthy little baby, although he is a bit on the fussy side (his mom likes to say that he is maybe a bit high maintenance like his dad; I'm pretty sure those are not traits he inherited from me).

A series of videos that mostly involve Owen kind of looking at the camera and flopping around. 6 weeks ago I'd consider this infinitely boring, but now I'm publishing them on the internet... what can I say.
