Three week update

Owen has been fussier the past few days. So much so that he doesn't quite seem like himself. He's not quite as happy during his awake times and he doesn't seem to rest as well during his asleep times (which means we don't rest as well either).

As a result, we've learned a few things:
1) We were idiots to put off trying the swing. This thing is magic!
2) Owen refuses all passies except his Texas A&M one. Gig'em!
3)"Fussiness" is a loaded term in parenting. For every person (parent, physician, other "expert", random person on the street) you ask, you'll get at least two causes, cures or other thoughts on fussiness.
4) There seems to be a direct correlation between gassiness and fussiness. Suggestions?
5) Grandmothers are awesome (we already knew this). Bee keeps telling us its okay if Owen cries! And Nana is here to help us handle it when he does!

In non-fussiness news, Owen is continuing his daily regimine of "air treatments"--prescribed by Nana for his mild diaper rash. This means he lays on her chest sans diaper to let things air out. He is extremely appreciative of the good care he is receiving and has shown his gratitude by peeing on her only a few times.

Let's see, what else? Yes, he's still getting bigger and cuter by the day (fussiness or no fussiness). He's taken his first bottle of breastmilk (dad enjoyed giving it and mom enjoyed the break)! Baths are getting easier and our walks are getting longer.

I'm sure there's more, but he's finally fallen back asleep (thank you swing), so we're off to bed (hopefully). We'll post new pictures tomororw.
