One more month until we officially have a 1 year old… man that year flew by! I feel like I was pregnant just yesterday.
Now for my BIG ANNOUNCEMENT… I am going to be a STAY AT HOME MOM (SAHM) starting September 15th! I am so excited to get to spend every day with Owen and have more time for other home projects. I have just been feeling so stretched thin and really, I never saw myself being a working mom. Now I can give 100% to being Owen's mom and that makes me happy.
We are enjoying the last days of summer. Definitely looking forward to some cooler weather so we can be outside more. Tonight Rich and I are watching football on the screened in porch with the doors to the house open. It's so nice :)
Owen's Milestones (11 months)
- You are learning so much these days. You now will clap when someone else claps.
- You started crawling over to me and grabbing me to pick you up or if I am sitting down you crawl into my lap. I love it!
- You get very mad when we don't let you do what you want to do. You love to try to get into the laundry room and push the buttons on the washer and dryer and to go into the guest bathroom and play with the toilet paper and when we deny you those opportunities by closing the door, you throw a little tantrum.
- You can take a couple of steps with your walker and you are really comfortable pulling up on things and walking while holding on. However, I don't think you will be walking until after you are 1.
- You can climb all the way up the stairs and can go down 2 stairs. We installed the baby gates after we discovered those things.
- We tried Kraft Mac and Cheese, chicken nuggets and tator tots this month… you loved them all.
- You are wearing 18 months now!

| Owen's name for his 1 year old photos and for a party decoration for his bday party next month. Conveniently, 3 of the same letters also spell "ONE." I may or may not have realized that in the wooden letter aisle of Hobby Lobby :) |
