Happy Birthday, Owen!

You've come a long way, big boy!

1 day old ...



3 months old ...



6 months old ...



1 year old ...



2 years old ...



3 years old ...




4 years old ...



And, now you're 5!!



This year, you ...

survived six days with no electricity after a wind storm
saw productions of Peter Pan and the Nutcracker
dressed up as Batman for Halloween
traveled to Illinois, Georgia, Pennsylvania ... and China!
became a big brother
climbed the Great Wall
learned how to tread water and swing all by yourself
climbed around on a firetruck and a tank
completed your first year of preschool
avoided the stomach flu
played t-ball
started to appreciate the wonders of Indian cuisine
went to the zoo and the Children's Museum
watched Civil War re-enactors in action
made your own pizza at the local pizza place
carved a pumpkin
played miniature golf

and made your mommy and daddy very, very happy!

I can't believe Owen is five! I remember when the Owen I knew looked a whole lot like that 1-year-old picture - toddling around and teaching me about baby sign! Happy birthday, Owen!
