The Horner Family Blog: Back on the charts

Owen had his one month check up last week and he is back on the charts. (you might remember he was slightly off the charts when he was born due to his higher than average weight). Anyway, he weighed in at 11 lb 7 oz which is the 90% and was 23.25 inches long which is in the 97%. They didn't test his IQ but we are sure he is a genius baby! Anyway, Owen does have a little reflux which is pretty normal at this stage and should go away before too long. Owen is a pretty good sleeper. The longest he has gone is 6 hours but he is consistently going for about 4 hours. We did have one night of 30 minutes which was not fun but for the most part, he is a great sleeper. We have noticed that he is becoming much more alert. He is very observant and seems to enjoy looking around. We just wonder what in the world he is thinking.
I, on the other hand took one step back this week when we found out I have mastitis. It is a total bummer but since I have been on meds, I am starting to feel better. Back to more cheerful news - This weekend was Owen's first trip to Omaha. We had a great time visiting with Emily, Steve and Charlotte. Charlotte is 5 months older than Owen and is FULL of personality. She is truly the 'happiest baby on the block'. She is all smiles and loves to be part of the action. She is rolling over, sitting up and holding her own bottle. It is just a matter of time before she is crawling all over.
As for this week, we are just laying low while on the mend and looking forward to Bob's first fathers day.
