Owen Thomas Labutta. Born on April 1, 2009 at 1:28PM ET. 8 lb. 14. oz. 21 1/2 in. This tiny little guy has completely captured the hearts and the attention of Bridget and I. Sure, we haven't slept much since he was born. We knew we wouldn't. But every time I'm awake at 4:00AM changing a dirty diaper, I look at his little face, with his little eyes, perfect little nose, and those pouty little lips, and just smile. Why would I want to be asleep and miss these moments? It's hard to believe that he's already 5 days old. He's amazing.
Of course, the lack of sleep and attention to Owen has prevented me from updating this blog and posting videos of Owen as I had hoped to do. I have, however, posted a bunch of photos of Owen in my Picasa web album, which you can view here. I hope, as we become better at this parenting thing, that I'll be able to put together a couple videos and show our little man in motion.
Bridget and I would like to thank everyone for all of their notes and flowers and gifts over the past week and really throughout her pregnancy. It was great to know that there were so many people out there supporting and celebrating Owen's birth with us!

Labutta, congrats man. Enjoy every second! It never gets old.
Owen looks great! I'm so happy for you guys, and seeing those pictures reminded me of Will's first few days. Man, it is amazing how a little person that basically sleeps, eats, and makes dirty diapers can be so captivating. Enjoy it you guys. Congratulations!!
He is just adorable, you two! Quite the looker! We are so happy for you all, and think of and pray for you each and every day. We cannot wait to meet him in person!
Love,
Allison, Justin, and Grace
