Happy 1st Birthday Owen!

| | | |

You are ONE year old today big boy!  And what an amazing, crazy, whirlwind year it’s been! I’ve laughed, I’ve cried and I pray I’ve taken enough photos to remember this time.

You are the perfect addition to our family and watching you and your brother’s relationship develop is probably my favorite thing ever.  I never had a sibling close in age and think it’s so neat you guys get to grow up together and be so close.  Although sometimes my heart breaks for you because all you want to do is play with Aiden’s toys and all he can say is “mine!” as he snatches it from your hands.  I remind myself daily this is just part of being a little brother and you’ll be ok.

I always wanted twins and was so fascinated by them.  Having you 2 boys so close together is about as close as I’m going to get and I couldn’t be more thankful for my little family.

We celebrated your birthday this past weekend with just a couple friends and family members.  You enjoyed every minute and I enjoyed every smile.  You now have some toys and clothes that are all yours and we’re working on getting that through someone else’s head 🙂

  • You took your first steps a week and a half before your birthday.
  • You still don’t have any teeth.
  • You have always been much bigger than your brother, wearing just one size smaller than him now.
  • You have a strong way of letting us know what you want, even without words.
  • You love nothing more than being outside eating dirt.
  • You can clap your hands and wave.
  • You are a picky eater like your daddy, but you eat A LOT.
  • You are loved beyond words little man.

Here’s some shots from today, your actual birthday!  We started off at the park in the morning.  You climbed all the way to the top of the stairs and waited for mama to go down the slide with you.

We came home for nap, and had your favorite lunch:  Chick-Fil-A!  Then you played outside and had a blast getting a tractor ride from your big bro!
