Welcome to "Little Dude" - a Parenthood & Babyhood Chronicle

Owen eats an Organic Carrot - April 30

Little Dude.

Since Owen's birth one month ago today, we've come up with a plethora of nicknames for him: Swimmy. Monkey. Squirmy. But the nickname that best embodies Owen was coined by Jared, a 2 1/2 year old who referred to him as "Little Dude."

Somehow that name perfectly epitomizes this tiny little guy who has completely turned our world upside down and made us wonder how we could have been anything but parents. Lawyer? Teacher? Good Public Citizen? None of it is as wonderful as Parent.

Still, we have a lot to learn, a lot to figure out. And this blog will be our chronicle of all our missteps, our confusion, our excitement over becoming parents to Little Dude.
