And we also took a couple of family pictures.
We didn't order all them, but we have a ton, so anyone who wants one, PLEASE let me know. We want to get rid of them!

Let the Pros Do the Work!
We finally went and got Owen's 1 year pictures done...only 2 months late! But hey, he's still only 1. :) Here are a few of my favorites.
And we also took a couple of family pictures.

Owen Loves....
....to dance!
....to ride his tractor!
It's really cute to watch him ride around on this. The best part: he can do it all on his own! I don't have to help him on, he walks around on his own, and knows how to turn it and back up. He also has learned to use it has a step stool, which is no good, because he gets into things he shouldn't, and it tips pretty easily. Little stinker!
....to ride his bike!
He ABSOLUTELY LOVES this bike but, unlike the tractor, he can't do it himself. It's hard to get onto and off of (he's taken many spills on it already), it's a little too tall for him to be able to walk with it, he can't steer it or pedal himself....YET! I expect all of that to come way too soon! But he loves to have Mommy or Daddy push him all around the house on it, laughing the whole time. He knows to put his hands on the handles and his feet on the peddles, though (even though he's not really doing either in the picture).
....to take baths!
His favorite part of the day is bath time. No matter what he is doing, when I ask, "Do you want to take a bath?", he will drop everything and run to the bathroom. When we get in there, I can't get the tub ready or his clothes off fast enough. Also, he is starting to get pretty good at helping me get his clothes off (which is not always a good thing), so I get his socks off over his heel and he will pull them off and throw them on the floor, and I pull his pants down over his butt and he will sit down on the floor and pull them the rest of the way off. It's really cute! When he's naked, he tries to climb in the tub himself, he has has accomplished one time when there was no water in there, but I don't let him climb in there himself. He goes head first.
....to give kisses, even if it's just a picture of Daddy!
Ryan was out of town for a week to go to Arizona, and Owen really missed him! He will give real people kisses too, but he's pretty stingy about them. It's awesome to get one, though!
....to play basketball!
Ryan got this Nerf basketball hoop for himself and hung it on the door, but the ball quickly turned into Owen's go-to toy, so we move the hoop to the stove. If he's cranky or getting into things he shouldn't, I distract him by asking, "Where's your ball?" He is a little smarty-pants, and I think he understands 90% of the things I say to him, maybe more. So anyway, then he looks around for it and if he doesn't see it he babbles something that sounds like, "Ayazah?" It's like Owen-speak for a cross between, "I don't know" and "Where is it?" He loves to throw the ball and put it in the hoop.
We are really starting to think Owen will be left handed, or maybe even ambidextrous. In the picture, he is using his right hand, but a lot of the time he throws and eats with his left. So who knows, but I think it would be cool if he was ambidextrous - that would be really useful for sports!
....to play in his tent!
He got this tent for Christmas from Grandma Angie and Grandpa Dan, and he loves going crazy in it. If he's cranky, this is one of my go-tos. I love it because it folds up flat and he loves to watch it pop open :)
Owen hates....
anything that makes him sit still, except for eating. But try to change his diaper (even if he hits the front of it to tell you it's poopy), change his clothes, put on his coat, or put him in the car seat? FORGET IT! He's just too busy and active for stuff like that! :)
He's actually still pretty good about car rides, and he's an all around good, happy little guy, but he's strong, and puts up a good fight!

....and remotes!
He's learned the difference between phones and remotes. He knows to hold phones up to his ear and talk into them, and he know to point remotes at the TV and push buttons. Smarty pants!
