A Birthday Wish!

He is FOUR! Owen Wayne is four years old. I cannot wrap my brain around it. That first year so insanely vivid and simultaneously a complete blur that it makes no sense. He's four.

These are pictures taken on January 26th:

• Doesn't eat much and currently survives on toast and butter.
• Sleeps fine....from about 8pm-5:30am.
• Still naps 1.5 - 3 hours a day.
• Is very loving and snugly.
• Is starting to tolerate his brother.
• Loves Diego and Scooby Doo.
• Is completely unpredictable.
• Easily frustrated.
• Clever.
• Sweet.
• We love him. We absolutely love him.

Owen had a great day.
We got him the Leap Frog Explorer.
But he was clearly more excited with the hippos!
LOVED the hippos.

Momma and the birthday boy. Look at that face!

Here's Owen making his birthday wish:

Did you hear that? How freakin' sweet is he?! It really does bring tears to my eyes.

"I wish mommy would be forever."
