Owen turned 1 last Thursday!! We have been so busy I haven't had a chance to blog or edit any pictures. I still have a ton of pictures to get through and it will probably be a while before I have a chance.

We stayed home on his birthday and he played with the toys we bought him. Then on Friday we drove to Cabela's (that's where the pic below was taken) and then to Whole Foods in Ann Arbor. Saturday we had a birthday party for him at a nearby park.

Owen is hitting that toddler stage now, he cracks me up with all of the new things he is learning.

A couple of my favorite thing:

• He likes to fake cough whenever he hears someone cough, he even puts his hand over his mouth.
• When he is ready for bed he stands at the gate at the bottom of the stairs and cries until you take him up. He is also sleeping 6 or 7 hours straight most nights :)
• He loves to go grocery shopping and he puts everything in the back of the cart after he is done playing with it, he used to just throw it on the ground.
• He helps me get him dressed in the morning.
• He LOVES his brother and screams in excitement when he gets off the bus.
• He will still sit on my lap for long periods of time and he loves to cuddle.

I let my cousin Angelica borrow my camera, when I get it back hopefully I can get a video of him doing some of this stuff :)

I also thought I would update on Owen Nursing. I made this post recently and said he would only nurse to sleep. I swear right after I made the post he decided without me changing anything he didn't like food anymore and all he wanted to do was nurse. He went from eating a ton to refusing anything but me. He slowly transitioned back to eating and now is back to normal. He nurses to sleep and also a few extra times a day. I don't think he is going to be done anytime soon. I am just glad we made it to one :)
