Happy 1st Birthday Owen!

Owen loved his ice cream!

Happy Birthday Owen!  Last night as I gave you your nighttime bottle I wanted desperately to hit the pause button.  I can't believe you are already one, but at the same time I can't remember my life without you in it.   You bring me more joy than you can imagine, and just trying to put into words how much you mean to me overwhelms me.  I can't find words strong enough.  Your hugs just melt my heart, and your open mouth kisses are heaven.  Your smile and giggle are infectious, and your problem solving skills impressive.  Some other tidbits….

• You can say ma-ma, dada, uh-oh, ball
• You have seven teeth
• Bananas are a favorite, along with bread!
• Socks drive you crazy and you are quick to pull them off
• You love bath time and try to climb in the bath with your clothes on
• You love to play catch, push trucks around, and try and put things into other things
• You love when Brooklyn and Daddy try and get you
• You can wave hi and bye
• You squeal in delight at the sight of the garbage truck

Oh sweet baby, we love you so much and can't wait for the next celebration and adventure!
