This past year has been amazing. There were so many happy moments with our little guy, Owen. I’ve enjoyed sharing all the special times with you in this blog and I hope you’ve enjoyed reading them. In 2013, I published 50 posts and about 18,000 people visited Ice Cream Off Paper Plates. That’s twice as… Continue Reading
Owen is 17 months old and ready for his second Christmas! I have to say the holidays are so much more magical when you have children. Experiencing the traditions and excitement with little ones really is the reason for the season. Of course, Owen still doesn’t understand what the heck is going on when it… Continue Reading
Time for Owen’s monthly update! He’s learning so much lately, it’s hard to keep up with everything new from the past thirty days. He mimics, listens, and talks more than ever. It seems like he says a new word every day: cookie, cheese, binky, etc. He likes to know what things are called. All day… Continue Reading
Yet another month has gone by and Little O keeps on growing. It won’t be long before I’m calling him Big O. The bigger Owen gets, the more entertaining he is. Every day he surprises us with something new he’s learned, like finally figuring out where his head and nose are. Almost everyone that meets… Continue Reading
How do the months go by so quickly? Owen’s already fourteen months old and fall has arrived. The changing seasons are making me feel nostalgic, thinking about a year ago when Owen was just a little baby and we were together all the time through the autumn days (we took a LOT of walks). This… Continue Reading
It’s been a busy first month of year number two for Owen. He went to a county fair and saw lots of farm animals. He was a participant in the 104th Annual Baby Parade in Ocean City, NJ and made it onto the local news and into the newspaper! He roamed through Longwood Gardens, looking… Continue Reading
The first year is over and the second year is underway! Owen is almost 13 months old and I haven’t even shared a compilation of his monthly photos from the first 12 months yet. So here it is! A look back at Owen’s first 365 days. I’ll let the photos do the talking for this… Continue Reading
Here it is, folks – the last monthly post for Owen’s first year. My boy is a whole year old! Happy, happy birthday, Baby Kopp! It’s hard to only write a monthly update for this post, since I can’t help but think of the past 365 days, not just the past 30. What a full… Continue Reading
I can’t believe Owen’s first birthday is less than a month away. I’m feeling kind of sad. This past year went by too fast. Owen isn’t really a baby anymore. He’s something in between a baby and a toddler – maybe a baddler? Or a todby? Our todby is just learning to walk, bravely letting… Continue Reading
I know I’m incredibly biased as a mother, but I think Owen is super cute. Cute enough to win contests. So like hundreds of obsessed parents across the country, Richard and I decided to enter Owen in the annual Parents Magazine Cover Contest. Now I don’t want to become one of those overbearing mothers that… Continue Reading
