We had our 4 month appointment this morning and everything is looking great. He is 16 pounds and 25.9 inches tall. Everything is going just as it should. He is meeting all the milestones (most on the early side) and looking healthy.
I have been busy adapting to being a working mom. Beyond missing Owen and constantly worrying about pumping, it hasn't been all that bad. Some days I even enjoy feeling back in a routine. Steve is having fun staying home with Owen. They are taking lots of walks and cutting flowers from our yard to give to the working Mommy. The next step is to figure out our schedule once Steve returns to work but, I think we will manage just fine.
As for summer plans, so far we have taken Owen on a couple of hikes, to the beach and to Sun River. Next on the agenda is flying to Chicago/Wisconsin to introduce Owen to the rest of his family. Then starts the wedding month...we have 3 weddings in August which is going to take up most of my time. Then, Baby Miles will be arriving so really, no down time for the Schroeder/Gerlt family this summer!!!
We had Christina Gilchrist come back and take pictures of Owen at 3 months. If you want to see a sample, she posted them on her blog at http://christinagilchrist.wordpress.com/2010/06/28/heres-owen/
It was great to have her in our home again. I love her!
As for our amateur pics, here are a few of my favorite.
