Here's a photo-dense post of what Owen was up to this past year: what he loved, what he learned, how he grew. (And not just in stature, which was 4.5" by the way!)
The Milestones
 |
| He got his first 'boy' haircut, you know, with sideburns |
 |
| He got a bike... |
 |
| and learned to ride it. |
 |
| He took up golf and made his first par. |
 |
| He learned to swim |
 |
| He started learning to write. |
 |
| He played on his first baseball team. |
 |
He became a first cousin. This is the moment Drew came in the waiting room to tell us
Betsy was here; I tried so hard to capture the moment, but I left my camera on manual focus... doh! |
He went on adventures
He went through a rainbow of shoes
He started making 'Best Friends'
He was obsessed with LEGOs, Ninjago and Star Wars
He dressed up a lot
...but he still wasn't wild about being around others who did
He inspired us to lighten up
And that is my only resolution for the new year: to remember just how much fun it is to lighten up, be goofy, look foolish. What are yours?
Happy New Year!
those pictures at the bottom are my absolute favorite. Owen's face in all 3 are priceless.
