TEETH!!

The story of the week is teeth!! As you can see, Owen is trying to show off his first tooth. Actually, he is working on his two bottom teeth at the same time, and doing quite well with it. Owen had his 6 month check up today and continues to be a healthy baby. He now weighs 17 lbs 13 oz and is 27 in tall. He is quite the character these days. He enjoys laughing at his big brother and loves saying "da da." Oh, and he loves to eat, if you can't tell.

Now as far as Zac goes, you might notice he looks a little different. Last summer Zac fell hard on the cement and hurt his front tooth pretty bad. Over the last few weeks, Zac developed an abscess above that tooth and we came to find out the tooth just couldn't recover and needed to be pulled out. So we went to Dr Jay (our dentist) yesterday and had him pull it out. Zac is such a big boy that continues to amaze us every day. He did such a good job and is so brave.

Anyway, that's what is new at the Michaelson house. One is loosing teeth and the other is getting them. Other than that, we are excited about summer and are enjoying our new house. We hope you all enjoy the few pictures and we will try to update again soon. Have a great summer!

Owen - 3 Months

Owen is already 3 months old. He is getting to be quite the funny little guy. He laughs at his big brother a lot, and is discovering all of his fun toys. Zac continues to be the best big brother and a great helper. Mom went back to work last week, and everyone seems to be adjusting well. Hope you enjoy Owen's 3 month pictures with his big brother Zac!

Well Child Checks

The boys both had there well child checks the other day. We finally scheduled Zac's 3yr check-up at the same time as Owen's 2month check-up. So I have new stats for everyone.
Zachary is 32lbs 6oz and is 37 1/2in tall. Little Owen is already 11lbs 13oz and 24 1/8in long. I looked back at Zac's info and he was 11lbs 12oz at his 2 month check up and 23 1/2 in long. They said Owen is really long (75-90%)! The doctor said we have two perfect boys and we agree.

Owen got his shots and did great with them. Zac insisted on holding his hand during the shots and was so sweet with him.

Owen Russell Michaelson

Okay, so I am terrible at updating our blog. I'm sorry. I will try to summarize the life in the Michaelson Family since we last updated this. As you all know, our newest addition to our family is Owen Russell Michaelson. He was born on Thanksgiving morning, 11/27/08, weighing in at 8lb 1.2oz and was 21in long. Owen gave a new meaning to Thanksgiving this year for us with his very scary entrance into this world. It is still hard to put into words the emotions that we felt the day the Lord blessed us with Owen's life, he sure is special. After spending a few days in the NICU, Owen was able to come home with us on Zac's Birthday and has been doing great since. Zac thought Owen was a pretty cool Birthday present and has adapted so well. We couldn't be more proud of Zac. He is the best big brother anyone could have. Owen is almost 2 months old already and is starting to give out smiles on a regular basis. Being the parents of two boys is such a joy. God is good!!! Thanks for reading, and enjoy the pictures. And we promise that we will TRY to keep you all updated and post pictures more often.
