Owen's First Birthday Party

Owen's First Birthday Party was yesterday. It went really well. We were blessed to have all of our families there to help celebrate with us. His "real" birthday is not until Thursday, and I will have a longer post then. But for now, enjoy some (a million) pictures!

Thank you again to all of those that came. We love you all!

Owen's Schedule at 12 months old

Owen is going back to daycare tomorrow and I had to type up a schedule for them. So i thought why not share it. He is changing so much everyday and I want to remember this time in his life. So, here it is.

Owen’s Schedule:

6 a.m.: Up for the day, has 8-ounces of Elecare formula.

7:00 a.m.: Daycare

8 a.m.: Breakfast (he can eat small pieces of just about anything)

8 to 9 a.m.: Playtime

9 to 9:30 a.m.: Falls asleep and naps for an hour to an hour and a half.

10:30 a.m.: He has a 6-ounce bottle of Elecare formula.

11 a.m.: Playtime

Noon: Lunch (small pieces of sandwich, fruit, cheese, etc.)

12:30 to 2:30 p.m.: Playtime (Ocasionally he will take a short nap after lunch)

2:30 p.m.: Snack- Cheese puffs, crackers, etc.

3 to 5 p.m.: Nap time. He has a 5-ounce bottle of Elecare formula if he's awake.

5 to 6 p.m.: Playtime.

6 p.m.: Dinner  (small pieces of whatever we are eating.)

7 :30 p.m.: Bath time. Read a book.

8 p.m.: 5-ounces of Elecare formula.

8 to 8:30 p.m.: Bedtime. Put him in his crib and rub his back. He tends to fuss for a few minutes but tires out. He usually sleeps through the night (10-12 hours) but sometimes wakes up and cries for a few minutes before falling back to sleep. 

One year photo session

Here is a sneak peak of Owen's one year photo session. More to come...

Better Late Than Never

I never thought I would be so happy to post this video. Owen and I were playing in his room today, and I turned Yo Gabba Gabba on for him to watch. He saw it on my computer screen and took off crawling towards it. I could not believe my eyes! I backed him up across the room to see if it was just a coincidence. No sir. He immediately started crawling again. I called for Brandon and we had so much fun watching him. I honestly can say this milestone is HUGE for us. We have been rooting for Owen and his development for quite sometime now. What a joy to watch it "click" in his little mind. So...here's to crawling!

Happy 4th of July!

Our Independence Day was low key this year. We worked on and around the house for the most part of the day. We are in full force party mode at this point. (15 days and counting) There is so much to get done. I may just have a nervous break down as the day approaches. I can't think about right now. Breathe. Here are some photos to enjoy!
