Not Quite as we pictured it...

The day started off with pancakes and bananas. I thought Owen would be all over this. NOPE. Generally, He loves bananas! Not on his birthday. He just wasn't in the mood. I think the majority of what was missing from his plate was given to Pedro. (Owen really loves to share). My mom then tried to give him a bath. Usually he is happy in the tub and enjoys a good splash. NOPE. not in the mood. I think the only thing he WAS in the mood for was a nap a nice 2.5 hour long nap. I had bought some whole wheat mac and cheese. I thought what a tasty healthy lunch. NOPE. not interested. We had already decided we would go to the aquariam. Lots of visual stimulation, you know? Not so interested. He just wanted to be held and cuddled by his daddy. In my mind I had imagined showing him how to dig into his gift bags and find something new inside. NOPE. just wanted to snuggle. After having some tylenol, his fever dropped and after a little power nap in Grandpa's arms, he popped up and was all of a sudden his usual peppy self. He got to check out a couple of his toys and then was ever so happy to go to bed. We are hopeful for his upcoming "birthday fiesta."

It has been an amazing first year with you Owen! You are the biggest blessing in our lives and we couldn't ask for a more beautiful loving son! Happy Birthday!
