Hang in there past the point where I recognize that I'm a moron, and you'll see one of Owen's early temper tantrums. Owen loves tummy time, but when he wants to roll over, he means now. Now, dammit. We need to capture video of him trying to flip himself over. It's a valiant enough effort that even the nurse's eyes got crazy-big. He's 5 days old, two months early, and is already focused on mobility over breathing.
It's good to see Owen's got goals already, but like Jim Gaffigan says, "Where ya gonna go? You can't even reach the door knob."
Owen also came with Kung Fu grip. Mom and Dad have each experienced this first hand (maybe first finger?), as well as the drama that ensues when they attempt to retract a finger currently in Owen's possession.
New from Mattel! Owen Karkkainen with Kung Fu Grip!!
And based on the following photo, it looks as though Owen has inherited Grandad's feet. Grandad Weeks. Both generations of them. This cute little nubbin of a heel is going to turn into a tube sock wrecking-ball some day. He needs to get out of this box so I can kiss his little toes before they become terrifying.
And one last note that should tickle a few Wilsons. Owen has successfully removed the pulse oximeter from his hand. The nurse moved it to his foot while we were standing there, and no sooner did she pull her hands from the Giraffe, and he'd begun pulling his foot over the edge of his little bed trying to get it off. I figure this is Dad's oh-so-Bob way of saying he's keeping an eye his Great Grandson.
i have some socks to donate to my grandson and his weeks' heels ;)
