Our little man turned 2 on May 14. It's craaaaazzzzyyy to believe that he's really already 2. We are so thankful for him, and happy that he is part of our family. He keeps us on our toes and laughing constantly. He is so smart, and could count to 10 by himself before his birthday. Chase and I bought him a water table for the backyard, and a balance bike for his presents. The balance bike is still a little big, but he'll be jetting away on it before we know it. He loves the water table, and treats it like a swimming pool sometimes. His grandma and grandpa Lester also got him a little trampoline. On his birthday we has a small barbecue, and cake and ice cream with some of our family. He loved blowing out his tanals (candles), and requested that I keep lighting them so he could keep blowing them out. Enjoying his water table Playing with cousin Camden in the water His monster cake (grandma Susan, did an awesome job on it.) Monster cupcakes Waiting for everyone to be done singing happy birthday Blowing out the candles All done Eating his cake, and ice cream. He cleaned his plate, and he's not a cake eater.
Better late than never right... We had a wonderful easter this year, spent with family and loved ones. The easter bunny spoiled Owen and Augusta. He left a trail of jelly beans leading to Owens basket, and even better money in his eggs instead of candy! The goods Eating the jelly bean trail Realizing there was money in his eggs, instead of candy This face kills me So happy Checking out his easter outfit Our adorable little bunny
Look how big this little man is getting. He is still on the small side, but trying to catch up. He is healthy and happy, and that's what matters the most!
Height: 30.5" Weight: 19 pounds 10 ounces Owens doctor suggested that we try to bulk him up, by giving him anything he wants. If he has toast, make sure it has butter on it. If he wants chocolate milk, give him instant breakfast or pediasure instead. etc. He also asked if we would like to do some blood work to make sure there really isn't anything wrong. We chose to wait till Owen was 2, and in the mean time try and bulk him up. Hopefully something works, and he starts catching up soon.
We can't imagine our lives without this little man, and can't believe that he's already been here for 18 months. Man how the time flies when you are having fun!
I was lucky enough to score tickets to Yo Gabba Gabba live for half price, so Chase and I decided to take Owen. Since he loved the tv show and watches it constantly. I wasn't sure how he would act, or if he would love the show. Come to find out all my worrying before hand was for nothing, Owen loved the show! He was dancing, and going crazy for most of the show. I only wish when the show started and there were a ton of empty seats in the front, that we would have moved closer. Everyone that was around us weren't really into the show. The only thing he was hesitent about was when they shot confetti and streamers out into the audience at the start, and end of the show. The loud pop kind of scared him. Before the show started Proof Mommy and Daddy were both there, don't mind owen not looking at the camera he was too enthralled with all the people around, and the lady selling the light wands. The show started, getting ready to dance!
Dancing to "all our friends are different" Muno's rap about bugs Toodee's song about winter being her favorite season. It even snowed in the theater. After the show. Look at all the confetti on the stage.Yo Gabba Gabba knows how to have fun! Walking back to the car, Owen got these adorable Muno and Brobee beanie babies. He carries them around all the time now.
Chase and I decided to take our little monkey to the zoo for a fun halloween treat. We picked the perfect day, as it was just the right temperature, and the zoo was pretty empty. Owen loved seeing the monkeys, elephants, playing on the playground, and feeding the ducks and swans. When we were leaving, we decided to look in the gift shop to see if things were on sale since it was the end of the season. We had a coupon for 50% off a stuffed animal, and ended up getting Owen a huge leopard stuffy that is almost as big as he is. I love a good deal, and Owen loves tackling his leopard, and trying to carry him around. checking out the black and white monkeys (I don't remember their name, they looked like skunks in trees) Spider monkey, this little guy liked to taunt Owen that he got a snack. He came right over and was showing off right infront of O. Checking out the elephants By the rhino statue Playing on the slide (Owen always goes down backwards)
Owen decided today was the day to redecorate the bathroom of our Park City condo we are staying in. I think he did an excellent job. Too bad for him, mommy caught him when he had only unrolled half the roll. Imagine how much better his redecorating could have been with a full roll of paper.
Chase recently bought Owen some real golf clubs. Since every time he saw a club or a ball he would go crazy. He loves golf! He loves his clubs and can say club "bub", and ball "ba". He is learning quickly and can hit a ball on his own. Enjoy the cuteness.
Wow what a slacker blogger. Mostly I just haven't blogged recently because I would rather spend my free time when Owen is napping or in bed doing other things. Owen is growing like crazy. Walking/running everywhere. Climbing everything. Being so stinking adorable. We truly love this little monkey, and are so grateful to have him as part of our family.
Owens 15 month stats: 17 pounds 15 ounces, 29.1 inches tall (5%). He is growing great and keeping right on his track. Our pediatrician is very happy with his progress, and so are mommy and daddy.
We took Owen out to the driving range a few days ago after Chase had gotten home from work. He loved it! He just crawled around and played with the golf balls, spent a lot of time trying to climb into the ball basket. He even learned how to hit a ball, and how to drive the cart. Golf clubs are in his near future, as soon as he can learn to walk.
Sorry there are a ton of photos in this post. I have a hard time picking favorites. Yes I am almost a month late on this post, but I'm finally getting around to it. Owen had a wonderful 1st birthday! Due to scheduling conflicts, and other family matters we weren't able to have one big party for him. So he got to have his birthday for 2 days. He had birthday cake and playing in conjunction with our niece Teagans baptism on his actual birthday. And a family BBQ and cake and presents with Chases family the next day. I had spent the few days before his birthday baking like a mad woman. I think after all was said and done I had baked 72 cupcakes and 9 4" round cakes ( to make 3 smash cakes for him. 1 for my sisters house, 1 for grandma and grandpas house and one for the studio). I had decided that since we weren't having one big party I would just do a primary colors cake, and cupcakes. I think it turned out adorable (minus the bottom layers falling apart.) Owen didn't really want to touch his smash cakes when there were a lot of people around, but was more than willing to rip one apart when there were just a few of us around. I made his little birthday shirt to match the primary colors cakes, and didn't have time to wash it before he wore it. That is why he has blue skin in some of the photos. He got some really fun gifts, and has really enjoyed playing with them since. It's crazy to think that he's already 1. We love our little guy and can't imagine our lives without him.
