6 weeks old

Owen is six weeks old!!! He is not caught up to normal newborn,s but he is on his way. The doctor says that Owen should be caught up to his peers between 12-15 months old. Until then we should expect him to be a bit smaller, and possibly reach milestones after his peers. We are just happy that he is doing so well at home!

All About Owen:
Weight: 5 pounds 5 ounces! (almost as big as Ellie when she was born)
Feeding: Owen is a eating machine lately, he will nurse on an off for hours at a time. He has to have two supplemented bottles a day and those feedings are between 3.5-4 ounces at a time.
Diapers: Owen wears newborn diapers, he has since he has been home. Like his sister he has no problem in the pooping and peeing department...thank goodness!
Sleeping: Owen is up 2-3 times a night for a couple hours at a time. He doesn't sleep very well in his bassinet, and I fully admit to spoiling him by letting him sleep with me for a short time most nights. This allows me to get a little bit of sleep as well.
Likes/Dislikes:
