Beach Bum

wow! Time flys! I cannot believe Owen is almost one!! What a big kid!! :) He wants to walk so bad, but just can't seem to find his balance. He starts running though as soon as he has ahold of your hands!
We took Owen on his first trip to the beach (i know, we are totally lame parents for not taking him sooner!!) He loved it! He even made a new friend, Mr. Sandcrab :)

how we love to swim!

Owen LOVES water. Whenever we are outside playing he always head straight for the pool. He often screams with excitement when he can see the pool. Even if it is cold he still want to be in the water. So, since it has been hot this week we have been in the pool almost everyday! :) Owen is going to be one tan baby! He loves jumping around in the water with his daddy, and LOVES to SPLASH! You can even splash him and he thinks it is funny!! He is not a big fan of going under the water, but is getting better. YAY FOR SUMMER!!

crawling like a pro

Owen is a busy little boy! He is crawling all over the place (well more like inch worming all over the place). He is SO curious about everything! :) He LOVES turning off the light when we leave a room, and absolutly LOVES bathtime!!! He is a HILLARIOUS little boy. Always laughing and smiling. What a blessing!!

We've got some teeth!!

Can you see them?... there on the bottom! We've got 2 so far!! GOOD JOB OWEN!! :)

cutest baby in the WORLD!!

I know, I know....all parents say this. They have to. But seriously folks?! HE IS ADORABLE!! Just look at him, I mean SERIOUSLY! I know you want to interupt me and tell me all about your kids and how cute they are blah...blah..blah. But just stop, cause your wrong and you know it. :) I mean look at this round ball of cuteness! Don't you want to just eat him up? Just admit it...you'll feel alot better once you stop fooling yourself and admit that Owen is the cutest kids you have ever seen. :)

Just admit it. He's ADORABLE! Feel free to tell your kids that they are the cutest...but just know in your heart that Owen is the winner! :)

Gosh, this baby is CUTE!!

....and CHUNKY....
Owen currently weights TWENTY POUNDS!! What a big guy!! He is growing up so fast!! We can't beleive he is already 6 months!! WOW! That was FAST!! He is always making us smile and laugh. Every morning he squeels with excitement when we come in to get him out of his crib. What joy he is!!! When he is older he will probably be upset about this first picture, but who cares! That is a SERIOUSLY CUTE BOOTY!!! :)

just one year ago....

I have been thinking about how just one year ago we found out about our little miracle. It seems like so long ago now that I was so frustraed with not being able to have a baby, praying with tears in my eyes that the Lord would hear my cry and answer me. He answered my prayers last December in his perfect timing.

We are so thankful for Owen and all the smiles he brings into our lives. He is such a joy to have around, always smiling and talking (though I have no idea what he saying). I cannot wait to see what this next year will bring. I am excited to watch Owen grow and learn new things. Thank you to all of you that helped prayed Owen into the cute baby he is today and Praise the Lord for His little miracle he gave us last Christmas :)
