Overall, Owen's first birthday party was a raving success!! I decided to do a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse theme because Owen LOVES Mickey, and let's face it, so do I! Mainly Owen loves the Hot Dog Song, he could skip all other parts of the show, whenever the song comes on he immediately starts clapping and dancing! Its adorable.
We had many friends come to celebrate. Most were our regular law school bunch, and some from our ward. Also, my parents traveled over from the west side to be here and help out. Owen loved it! We had lots of yummy food, complete with "hot diggity dogs" and BBQ chicken sandwiches. Overall, good times. I still cannot believe my baby is ONE! Oh man.
Here are the festivities:
My first attempt at Cake Pops... not the prettiest, but everyone seemed to really enjoy them!
The Birthday Spread:
I'm not going to lie, I was pretty proud of my Mickey Mouse Clubhouse cake!
Owen enjoyed the time with his buddies, this is him and Nina:
And especially time with his grandma!
He opened presents:
And he shared presents!
We sang Happy Birthday, he had no idea what was going on here!
And finally, we ate some cake!
Also, for your viewing pleasure, here is a video we made of Owen devouring/destorying his first piece of cake! I think he took about 3 or 4 bites, hence the smeared face. But the rest of it landed on the floor, table, people, etc! He threw about 75% all around, getting it everywhere!!! So funny.
And finally, we went in for Owen's 1 year check up today, so here are Owen's 1 Year Stats:
Weight: 18 pounds 14 ounces-- 4th (ish) percentile
Height: 28.5 inches-- 4th percentile
Head: 45 cm-- Again, 4th percentile
So he's our small little peanut. But he's proportional, and following his own growth curve. Sadly, we have to hold off on the front facing car seat for a while... dang. But even though he's small, he's perfectly healthy and happy!! We love our little Owenator!

I LOVE his birthday pics and video. I need to be careful reading your blog because it reminds me how behind I am on ours, and how much more I did for Bella since she was my first. I SO wish we had been there for his party. He is adorable and this post makes me want to cry because I haven't even met him yet...
