The Fastest Year of My Life

I can't believe it:

To This: 

It's been a whole year since Owen officially joined our family.  I can't believe how fast this year has gone.  This little guy has changed everything for us and we absolutely love it.  I can't even imagine my life without him and I constantly think to myself "what did I used to do? and what did I used to have to talk about?"  It seems like Owen is our whole world.  He's no longer my baby, but my little boy.  It's been so fun seeing him learn and grow and be so proud of his accomplishments.  I love this little boy more than anything and I'm so grateful everyday that I get to be his mom.  What an incredible blessing he is for me and Bart.  Some of my favorite things about little O:

• His enthusiasm and excitement.  He shows so much expression in his face, I just love it. 
• His curiosity.  (he definitely takes after his good pal George)
• how he and Bart play, Bart knows just how to get him giggling and it's adorable.  Those two are already have something special going on and there total buddies. 
• How he walks, it's kinda like a waddle to help him keep his balance.
• His little belly and skinny legs.  Bart says it looks like 2 little toothpicks making there way down the hall. 
• His smile with his funny little teeth.
• I love it when he wants me to pick him up or just plain wants you. 
• Last night he started to cry while he was asleep so I went in to check on him and started tickling his back, he LOVED it.  Anytime I'd move my hand to be done, he'd grab it and put it back.  It made my night.

I'm so grateful for our family and this incredible blessing that we have.  I'm such a lucky girl.
