I can't believe that a year has come and gone. I seriously feel like it was just a few months ago that Owen arrived here on Earth and became a part of the Poulson family. I have loved almost every minute of it. (The minutes I don't enjoy include Poop explosions up the back and down the legs, diaper rashes because of the blowouts, teething and ear infections...)
He is a really happy baby who is content to do most things by himself and wants to be BIG just like his brother.
Owen never took to baby food and went straight to the big stuff. He doesn't want you to cut up his food and prefers you give him a whole Banana that he can demolish to his liking. (Sometimes he eats it so fast I think he must have dropped it on the floor, but to my continual surprise, it is no where to be found and he's asking for Mo Mo Mo.
Owen rarely watches TV. He is such a busy body! TV actually means he has to stop what he's doing and sit for five seconds. I've found the one thing he'll watch for maybe five minutes is Barney which I am not the biggest fan of, but what can you do. He will occasionally sit with Nate and watch a few minutes of Basketball which seems to be his favorite sport to watch.
Here is some pictures of his "B" day party. We focused on the letter B and the transition of going from Baby to Boy. We ate Bowtie chicken pasta, bean dip and chips, a berry slush and blue brownies. I made Owen a Block cake which ended up being a LOT harder than I anticipated, but turned out pretty well after the second attempt! All I can say is cake decorators deserve a lot more credit than I have previously given them!
We got Owen a walker/ride on toy that he thinks is AWESOME! He does this funny laugh every time he walks with it, like. " this is all I needed to walk? Look I'm doing it all by myself." It's been really fun watching him enjoy this new toy.
We had a great day celebrating his birth and the fact that we made it through that first year.
Happy birthday little guy! We love you!
