I am not NOT a pink-and-fwuffy woman, but am delighted by our evolutionarily close cousins; I defy anyone to say they can't recognise the expressions on this mum's face, particularly the one where her baby is asleep on her /head/.
As your Owen gets older, remember, all mammal parents get cross with their offspring now and again: mama lions roar and bip their cubs, sheep butt their lambs, bears snarl, orangutans ... look rueful, at least :-)
hope a 5:30 feed and settling down by 6:00-ish works out better. Also, a developmental transition time can be a *perfect* time to introduce new sleep habits because there's nothing entrenched in place to fight against. Perhaps swaddling him with an eyeshade will give him new tools to employ over the transition phase and those conditions will become his New Normal.
