Owen's Monkey Business

Owen is 11 weeks today. This was a busy week for him as he has started really grabbing onto things and holding them. He lifts his head much higher and holds it steadier too! He loves books and grabs the edges of the pages. He also loves being outside and it immediately relaxes him if he is fussy, which doesn't happen too often. He is growing so fast we think he may only fit in the bassinet in our room for another week or two at the most. Almost time to move to his crib in his own room! He has been taking naps there during the day already to get used to it. He eats every 2-4 hours about 3-4 oz. at a time for between 7-9 feedings per day. He and I are on our own today and tomorrow as daddy is flying to Chicago right now for a quick business trip.

In an effort to figure out how people are getting Owen info/pix, I am trying to find out who reads this blog regularly and uses it as their main way to keep up with our family. I am finding "photo management" to be much more difficult than getting enough sleep as a new mommy! Currently I am using facebook and this blog to share pix. I am building a Shutterfly share site as well, mainly for several people who don't use facebook or read the blog as much. If you read this, could you please leave a comment to this post or send me an email to let me know: 1. How do you like to keep up with us- Junebug blog, Casaluna blog, facebook, email, or a combination? 2. Would you want to be invited to a Shutterfly sharesite and there you can opt to receive emails when we add new pix? I don't want to bombard people with photos but at the same time love the idea that they are there for people to access when they have time or inclination. Thanks for your help with this!

Last weekend Alice, Justin and Oqwe came up from LA to go to the concert in the park with us. It was Journey cover band and it was packed! We had a great time.

Family Birthday! On July 30 we celebrated our third wedding anniversary and first celebration of family birthday! We spent the afternoon at the pool, then went to Barnes and Noble and out to dinner at Kabuki.
