first birthday photos

To formally document Owen's first birthday, we jumped on the family photoshoot bandwagon, which seems to have all but replaced the old Olan Mills or JC Penney session of the child climbing on oversized blocks with the number of their new age on them. (We did get one in a rocking chair, at least!) We called my friend Lindsey who was 6+ months pregnant with her twins at the time, and she did a great job.  Owen decided to showcase his serious side, but I think he still looks pretty handsome.

The next step is to actually DO something with them now, so I'll at least put them here for a few of you to see!  And slowly but surely, they'll make it onto our living room wall and under the grandparents' Christmas trees.  For now, enjoy our little one-year-old digitally!
