I don’t know if they’re planning a sequel (or prequel, I suppose) but should it ever get off the ground, wee Owen will be a shoo-in for the part of Max Goldman in Grumpy Old Men: the Squishy Beginning. That little guy is a dead ringer for the late Walter Matthau! Oh, dear me. Dead ringer. How inappropriate was that? Anyway, getting born must be some seriously hard work because my nephew looks so kissably, snuggably, sneak-him-home-in-my-purse-ably PUT OUT in every single photo I’ve seen. Even the shots of his itty bitty feet send the message that he’s so over it. Which really only confirms that he totally belongs in our family – moreover, that he totally belongs to his mother. God, she was cute. Cute and angry. And now, completely head-over-heels.
“Never. At least, not since you were born.”
Congratulations!!! Nothing is better than being an aunt.
I want one.
VERY BADLY.
Awww! Cuteness
I’m terrified of having my own though. Not for me, I don’t think!
all the lights and noise were probably gettin’ on his nerves.
Just wait until his first diaper… thus, the beginning of the “squishy endings”.
Gorgeous!
I just love babies…especially grumpy looking infants.
You’re going to LOVE being an aunt.
JUST SCRUMPTIOUS!!
So adorable!
Congrats!! You’ll love being an aunt!! Your excitement reminded me of when my nephews were born. I have two nephews, and they are the most adorable things I’ve ever seen. I love them to death, and I’m sure you will too. BTW, the grumpy ones are so adorable!!
I wish I weren’t an only child. I adopt my friends’ children as my nieces and nephews but it’s not the same. Maybe I should have my own…. Argh. Hormones.
Congratulations!
Congratulations! I became an aunt for the first time when my nephew was born last month. I am so in love with him. I am going to baby sit next month while his mom goes back to work part time and I am so excited. It is a good test to see if I am ready for my own yet (but I doubt it.)
So cute! He does look like he’s had a tiring day =)
Yeah…I agree with Mrs. Greg House, so very cute, but only if baby belongs to someone else. I just like to borrow!
How exciting! And I am glad to hear my daughter was not the only baby to be righteously pissed off about being born. In every photo of her first few days, especially in the hours after her birth, her expression looked something like, “HEY! What was that horrible contraption that stuck to my head and vacuumed me from the warm confines of your uterus, you wretched woman?”
The good news: he’ll continue to be nice and squishy, but he’ll lose the “over it” look.
Huzzah! Is this your first foray into Auntdom? It’s good times.
CoNgRaTs! He’s a doll.
How was the date?
Congrats auntie!! He’s a cutie… almost as cute as my new little niece that was born earlier this month… of course, I may be biased. I’m sure Owen will receive lots of spoiling from his auntie!
Oh my goodness. Beautifully squishy babies always bring me out of comment lurker status. He’s gorgeous. Positively. Congrats to all!
Congratulations fish! Your nephew is adorable and he is definitely lucky to have you as his aunt!
um, am i the only one who boo-hoo’d at fish’s last sentence?! srsly, the tears! they flowed. so happy for you and your beloved little sister. congrats.
That itty bitty baby was in that pumpkin?
Awwwwww!!!!! Congrats!!!!! He is beautiful… you will love all the fun of being an aunt!
and tell your sister congrats too!
Being an aunt is the BEST thing ever – I have 3 nieces and 3 nephews and another on the way. You will love it. Congrats!
Congrats! My first neice was born a little over a month ago and I have yet to meet her. And though your nephew is absolutely adorable, my neice may win the cute contest. (I’m not biased at all.) Snuggle him every chance you get!
This baby looks like you.
Congratulations! He’s adorable.
It is so touching how close you are to your sister. I have chills- happy chills.
(*BIG HUG*)
Wow.
So amazingly beautiful!
Enjoy Auntie!
He told me that he pretty much can’t wait to meet you.
Squeeeee! I want to pinch his grumpy widdle cheeks. Congrats!
i’m so excited for youuuuu and your sister!
owen is an adorably cute name!
my god niece was born on the 30th oct… hehe… cool
Congrats Aunt Fish! I just want to cuddle with him!
Not to rain on the beautiful baby parade, but you were victim of identity theft a while back, right? How did you deal with it? It just happened to me and I am losing my mind.
Congratulations! He is a scrumptious cutie!!!!
Congrats! Welcome to the world little Owen!
Ah, he’s perfect.
Mind you, my little one year old is the smartest, most beautifulest baby in the whole world. Really, five out six grandparents agree.
She opened her eyes just minutes after being born and the look on her face was “What? Is this it? Really?”
Auntie is the best job in the world. Have fun.
