Dear Baby Owen,

A week ago, on January 26th, 2018, you turned ONE year old. You surprised us all a year ago by coming early - you weren't supposed to be born until February. I got a text from your Grandma Janis telling me you were coming - it didn't seem long at all and then I received this first picture of you. 
Owen Victor Hiatt
7lbs; 19.5 inches
I was actually in NYC when you were born and flew back to AZ on January 29th. I came straight from the airport to see you. This picture is of you crying but that is actually the exact opposite of your personality - I just liked Uriah and my faces in this picture.
You are the most laid back, happy and easy going baby.
Since I was in NYC when you were born, I got you a copy of The New York Times from your birthdate and an I <3 ny="" onesie.="" p="">
I am thankful that I live near you and have been able to see you often during your first year...
...and take a trip to Disneyland and the beach with you too.
I hope your personality never changes - you have so much joy and that is contagious when we are around you.

I'm excited to see how you grow and what your second year holds for you.


I love you baby Owen and I couldn't be more proud to be your aunt.
