Happy First Birthday, Owen!

Owen Monroe

Today our little Owen is one year old! It is always so much fun to have little babies in the family and to watch them grow from infants into little toddlers. Owen has done so much growing and changing in the past few months. He has teeth, is crawling and pulling himself up, drinking from a cup and bottle and eating real food. He is very quick and Chris had to build a gate to the downstairs to protect him from the stairway.

It is fun to think about the personality of each little one and what they will be like as they grow up. I think Owen is going to be an easy boy for Mom & Dad. I have seen such an even and sweet temperament and he is such a cuddly little guy. I think he did so well when Mom and Dad were in Europe and he took right to Missy's mom. He actually let me hold him too after a bit so that is pretty amazing when Mommy was no where in sight. Here are some of the fun photos we got of him recently.

Owen was pretty squirmy but he did let me
hold him once in awhile.He is getting ready to arch
his back and scream! But Aunt Jen distracted him for a smile!

Happy Birthday, Owie!
