Owens One Year Checkup

Owen had his one year check-up yesterday and they said he was "perfect".
He weighed 21# and was 30 inches. He barely made the weight to be transitioned to his big car seat (20# and 1 yr is the new law on that, were glad he made it).

I am so thankful that he is healthy and growing. We are so blessed. Every day is something new with him. He has his moms personality (YIKES, I know) he is very determined and doesn't like to be told "NO". He has 2 of the 4 - one year molars in and loves to have his teeth brushed. He tries to run already and usually ends up falling face first, but he doesn't cry he just gets back up and tries again...

Owens Birthday

Owen turned 1 on Sept. 17th. I cant even believe it has been a year. We had the family over for cake and ice-cream Thursday night. It was a little crowded but I think it was a nice time. Ethan helped Owen open presents since he wasn't real interested. I think he was overwhelmed by all the people, considering everyone showed up at the same time. He got tons a great gifts from everyone. The cake was really cute, it was a Curious George themed party. I had a lot to do before the party but managed to fit it all in (would you expect any less : ) I will try and post pictures at moms this weekend. Owen loved his cake and I have some cute pics of that as well.

Uneventful Weekend

It was a pretty uneventful weekend for us. Eric worked all weekend both jobs and Owen and I just hung out. Got laundry done, went for a walk with mom, did some grocery shopping, etc. Nothing exciting. This week Thursday is Owens Birthday. Were having family over on Thursday night and Friday is Owens 1 yr checkup. I cant even believe its a year already.

Whats new with the Olson's

I have been working on re-doing our flower gardens. I have been digging out bushes and moving flowers to make it look a little more organized. We removed two huge cedar bushes that were right when you walked in the house and once we can get the roots out (w/gramps help) I will make that into a flower garden as well.

Owen got a sandbox. It is used but looks brand new. I found it on craigs list for $10.00. If you have never been on craigs list, you should check it out its awesome. The only thing is, is that if you want something you have to act fast or it will be gone. Its not bidding its just first come fist serve which I like better.

Owen has been walking like crazy. Its so cute to see him getting around. He doesnt want to be held much when he is busy walking. He loves being outside now too and will throw a fit when its time to come in. He is getting to be such a big boy. Only 16 days until his 1st Birthday! WOW!! I cant wait to switch him to his big car seat so we dont have to hall the infant one around with him in it. He weighs over 20 lbs and his car seat is 20 some lbs so it gets really heavy....

Thats all for now. I will keep you posted on any new and exciting happenings with the Olson's : )
