Michelle Branch‘s daughter, Owen, celebrated her 5th birthday today, according to Michelle’s Twitter.

Her tweet:

“Well, I don’t know how it happened but it appears I have a 5 year old Happy Birthday to my sweet daughter”

Which was followed by a photo of a pile of gifts in pink wrapping paper.

The singer, whose single “Everywhere” was played, well, everywhere when it debuted in 2001, married her bassist, Teddy Landau, in 2004. The couple welcomed little Owen the following August.

Just a few days before her birthday Michelle’s mini-me struck some bad luck (literally) when she apparently walked into something sharp and made of metal.

Michelle tweeted the photo below with the following caption:

“Close call! Owen ran into a metal corner of a shelf at the hardware store. Missed her eye by half an inch. Now she’s happily eating a cookie Scary!”

Ouch! Look out down there, shorty.

Michelle recently released a 6 track EP, “Everything Comes & Goes”, which is currently available exclusively on her website and should be available on iTunes sometime this month. This solo EP follows her work as one-half of The Wreckers, an American country duo with Jessica Harp, who broke up after a short run on the country scene.
