As everyone always says, it seems like only yesterday....
You were a tiny pink, squishy, brand new baby. So little and needing to be protected and nurtured.
You entered into our family like you were there all along, you knew your place.
Hunter and Hailey had no trouble adjusting to you and have loved you every second of every day.
This year has flown by, we have watched you learn to roll and sit and stand and walk. Witnessed your first time at the zoo and baseball games, and airplane rides.
Youve met a handful of family that also loves you so much!
You have blessed every one of us with your easy going nature and your wonderful smile.
You are now ONE!
Do we have to call you toddler O now? No thanks, Im sticking with baby...even when you walk down that graduation aisle, you'll be Mr. Baby O.
Every time you walk across the room (thats right you walk now!) Hunter and Hailey say " OH MY GOSH, HES WALKING!!!!" They are so excited to see you grow. You have been walking around for about a week now and it still excites them every time.
You took your first steps the day before you turned 11 months...then you stalled for a few weeks. The day Daddy came home and was sitting on our couch, you let go of the couch and walked across the room for the FIRST time. He was so excited you saved that for him!
Now that you have been doing that for about a week you have already learned how to turn during a walk and get up off the floor without assistance.
Is there anything you can't do?
Your favorite snack is still Pirate booty, you love the stuff! I must say it is addicting!
You haven't decided on your first word yet but you do love to babble! Unless BOO counts as a first word, the other day you were popping up from behind the couch going "BOO!" So adorable.
I love when I go away for an hour and come home and you act like its been years since you saw your mama. Stay a Mamas boy forever!
We love you little Owen, Thank you for completing our family. You are SO much fun to have around.
HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY BABY O
