Owen at 2 months old and Fourth of July 2011

Well, it's been quite an adventure so far with our little (well, not so little) guy Owen!
Below are pictures since my last update, between age 2 weeks and 2 months. As many of you know, he was hospitalized for 5 days around 6 weeks of age, and found to have neonatal sepsis. He is doing just fine now though and will have his IV line out tomorrow. We are so very happy he's healthy and we were so glad to bring him home! We even had the chance to enjoy the fourth of July weekend with close friends, where we rented a house in the redwoods area near Big Basin.

Love to all our friends and family world wide, and thanks for all your amazing support.

And Baby Makes Four...

We are so proud to announce the arrival of Owen Zachary Baird, born May 9th, 2011, at 11:53am. I went into labor late on Mother's Day and he was born right on his due date! We are adjusting to life as a family of four and loving getting to know Baby Owen.  Below are some pictures from the first few days of his life!
