My 1 year old!

Happy Birthday Owen!
You are 1 already.  Wow, this year flew by.  You are growing stronger and smarter day by day.  You caught up quick for being a month early.  You are still the sweet cuddly baby you were at the beginning.  You are happy, playful, flirty, 'talkative', sweet, curious, adventurous, daring, lovable.  You adore your big Sis so much.  You are always giving her smiles and wanting to play with her.  She is teaching you lots of things like colors and shapes and how to eat foods play with toys.  She takes her job of helping you and protecting you very seriously!  She can play a little rough and love you a little too hard at times but this just helps you to be stronger.  Your sister loves you very much.
You like to do a lot of things these days.  You love playing in the kitchen, banging pots and pans, stirring with spoons.  You love trucks and cars and tools.  You like to ride your motorcycle.  You like books.  You LOVE water- the bath, the pool, the wet grass.  Getting wet is really really fun.  You and your sister play in the sandbox a lot.  Can you please stop putting the sand in your mouth?
You like to put things into containers and take them out.  This activity never gets boring.  You like to show us what you can do.  Cleanup is more of a game to you instead of a chore.
You like a wide variety of foods.  You love eggs, ground beef, oatmeal, apples, watermelon, cheerios, yogurt.  You have a very good appetite.  You are growing bigger and bigger every day.  You have 6 teeth now!  You love feeding me pieces of food with your sticky fingers.  I love how it makes you smile and giggle.
You are very ticklish.  It doesn't take much to get you to giggle.  I think you are close to taking your first solo steps.  You have said Mama and Dada and now we're waiting for you to say Lia!
We are all so blessed to have you in our family.  You are an amazing baby and your growing into an amazing boy.  We can't wait to see what you learn this next year!
