Gramdma Marla and the Kids

Today we had a full house of kids. Owen hung out with all his cousins - Clayton, Ryan, Madelyn, and Stone. Here is their Grandma Marla with all the kids.
We had our second outing tonight - to Yogalato! This time it was a lot more fun. Owen slept the whole time in his car seat and there was frozen yogurt, so what's not to like about that trip.

Birthday hugs are the best kind of hugs

Today was grandpa's birthday and grandma made a great home cooked dinner to celebrate with fillet and crab legs. Plus Owen turned 5 days old. They grow so fast:)
Owen actually spent a few hours wide awake today. He likes when people sing to him, even if the songs make no sense bc mommy doesn't know the words. He also likes to look at the paintings in his room. All of daddy's work is already paying off.

What goes in must come out

Yesterday I heard Adam in Owen's room say "oh nooo." Adam had Owen almost into a clean diaper and was thinking "I haven't been pee'd on yet. I wonder if he could pee through the petroleum jelly." And just then he sees a fountain of pee, he threw a pee pee teepee which landed with great accuracy only to see this all followed by a fresh poo. Diaper changes are always fun.

After he was all cleaned up, grandpa held Owen nearly all afternoon and mommy and daddy got to take a nice nap.

Grandpa Kraft and the Denhams Visit

Today Owen met his grandpa Kraft, his aunt Marissa and uncle Trevor and his cousin Stone. Everyone had a good time and Owen slept peacefully even when all the boys were playing pool.
Poop update: there is lots of it and Owen does not like sitting in a dirty diaper and he always lets us know right away so we can clean him up. Adam really has the hang of the cloth diaper now with all the practice. Pene also alerts us to dirty diapers, she is quite the mothering pup.I know we will look back at this picture some day and say "they used to be so sweet, how did they turn into such trouble."

We are home

We all got our clean bills of health and made it home today. Then we got to try out some of the really cool gifts from all of our friends.




Owen really liked his car seat and sat wide awake in it for most of the way home. Then he got to meet the rest of his family. Jax and Pene are really interested in this little guy, especially when he starts crying, they both come to help out. Pene really wants to lick him and Jax just sniffs him like crazy.
Owen is still sleeping and eating like champ, and excelling in the pooping catergory. Mom and dad are doing well too.

Now we just need to upload the 400 pictures we took the last three days and we will post some better quality pics. Glad our iPhones kept us in touch though.

Day two and more poo

We are happy to report more poo, lots of eating and plenty of sleeping in happy grandparents arms. We are going home tomorrow and will probably be doing lots more of the same.






One of the coolest things is seeing how Owen knows his daddy's voice. He turns to watch him whenever he hears him talking or singing. He also loves dad's burrito wrapping skills which calm him right down most of the time.

Meet Owen Louis Kraft

Our little man was born July 11th at 10:55 am. 6 pounds 15 ounces and 19.5 inches long.






He is doing really well, eating, pooping and sleeping. He was alays the most active in my belly between 9 and 11 pm. Turns out he is continuing that trend. He did not sleep much last night but he had a lot of sleep after all the hard work he went though yesterday during the day.
