an update of our son

Owen has endured many pricks, many doctors' offices, tests, and even has had his poor little eyes dialated and has had a ct scan. Many co-pays later we have a healthy boy. He will continue to get more tests. When he turns 3 (months) he will get an mri to get more detail. He is sleeping a lot and eating a ton. (Like a Goodson!!!) He was 7 lbs 14 oz at birth and lost the normal weight after birth and here we are 2 weeks later and he is 8 lbs 11 oz! Way to go Owen. He is a polar opposite of Malan. He sleeps a lot. He eats a lot. He has a full head of hair. He doesn't cry unless he needs more food. Oh yeah, and he's a boy, not a girl. Here is a recent photo.... we are quite fond of him. The boppy boppy featured in the photo above has a custom made cover by Patty's sister, Becky. (thank you)

Malan had some friends come visit recently so she is not being totally left out. Grandma Tori made sure of that when she came to stay for a week and helped her room become a "girl's room." Then some friends from Northern Virginia came up too and had a good time. She has been a good helper so far. We will have Grandma and Grandpa Goodson as well as Aunt Ann and one of the twins here for the blessing this weekend. We are looking forward to their visit! The weather here is beautiful. It is in the high 60s and low 70s and beautifully green. In the next several weeks the colors will begin to change and it will be beautiful. Malan's hair cut is slowly growing out and she just got a cute hair cut. Now she is quite fashionable with the latest trend of having short bangs. Well that's about it for now. So have a great day and update your blog, Carrie.
