Almost 6 Weeks Old

Things have definitely been crazy in the McCauley household and Owen has been going right along with it all like a CHAMP!

In the past few weeks he has taken countless naps and walks, 

been to several track meets, 

2 movies (one of the them being the Avengers of course!),  2 graduations (one in St. Louis), 

There was no room for the carseat so Nick stowed it under his seat during the commencement.

Jackie is now a Master of Counseling!!!!

Co-Salutitorian Kristine!

helped friends move and...

Jill had to take a break from all the moving to spend some quality time with Owen.

turned one month old! 

There are so many things that have changed for Nick and I since we became parents.  Here are some things all you future parents can look forward to....

-The first night home from the hospital seems like it will never end.

-You only look in the rearview mirror, while driving, to check on the baby.... and you look a lot!!!

-You will hold the baby for 3 hours, without moving, because they finally fell asleep and you don't want to wake them.

-Every noise the baby makes is the most wonderful thing you have ever heard... including bodily functions (except for crying).

-But at night when you put them down to sleep, you hope they'll be quiet for a few minutes so you can fall asleep.

-Then when they are quiet you hope they make noise so you'll know they are still alive.

-Get excited about dirty diapers. The bigger the better and you call others over to see them.

-It is possible for babies to cry and/or scream while sleeping.
-After a while you learn to do a lot of things with only one hand and a baby in the other.
-It is amazing how quickly they grow and learn and of course they are a genius.
-You have never loved anything the way you love your little one.

He didn't hit himself... he feel asleep on his hand!
