Owen turned a year and a half last Friday the 19th. For some reason I was particularly sentimental that day, so we did some fun things to commemerate!
We went to McDonald's for lunch


and Owen played like a big boy in the play area

then Papa Ross came over and Owen showed off some of his super cool antics
like riding his toy car WITH Papa's shoes on. Owen is obsessed with shoes (90% of the time he goes for Daddy's shoes, not mine. Phew.)
Happy boy :)

Papa took us out for dinner to On the Border that night. Owen kept himself entertained by eating crayons

and coloring here and there
and for dessert he showed off his new trick - eating with a big boy spoon!
O loves his Papa
Some other things he loves:
playing with the swiffer and broom (this can keep him entertained for forever!)

wearing daddy's shoes

playing in his fort between the couches

He also loves being outdoors and running free, playing with his cousins, watching Baby Einstein and Elmo, his blocks,
climbing on anything, eating snacks, dancing to loud music, reading his favorite books, taking a bath and being chased around. He is at such a fun age! He's also talking more. He says "ball" "shoes" "hi" "snack" "Papa" and of course Mommy and Daddy, among other words. He's about 28 lbs and pretty tall and lean. He's got quite a personality - he's sweet and affectionate but can also be pretty rowdy! He's all boy and we just love every second we have with him!
