jesus wants me for a sunbeam

how cute is this face!?!

pretty darn cute!

its hard to believe that our baby isn't much of a baby anymore. 

owen talks about going to school with his siblings every single day, he rides bikes, he cooks scrambled eggs (with mommy watching on and helping), and he even keeps a tube of chapstick in his pocket at all times. 

and to top it off, he graduated from nursery at church. 

its crazy!

but, he still has a little bit of baby left in him and I'm going to hold on to those things as long as i can! his speech is still only understood by mama, he's got plenty of back pudge around his underwear elastic (my favorite!), he always needs a hug, kiss, and a bandaid if he gets "hurt", and he still has to fall asleep with mom or dad close by.

owen became a sunbeam two sundays ago and he absolutely loves going to primary! part of it has to do with the fact that they just put chris in as the sunbeam teacher, but i think most of it is probably because he thinks he is a big kid so in his mind it makes sense that he goes to class with the big kids. he's doing so well and tries hard to listen and be reverent. i thought it would be the opposite and i actually worried quite a bit because those that know owen know that he never sits still! but chris says he's doing super duper!

last week they asked him to read the scripture and he couldn't wait! he even took his scriptures up with him and waited with his hands folded in his lap till it was his turn. very cute to spy on in the back of the room! when i asked him if i could come help him he said "no mom, no, owen do it!"

 his proud little wave in the video is for big brother charlie :)
