5 years seems so long ago but also feels like just yesterday that I held you for the first time. You were beautifully BIG, 9lbs 15oz, I just say 10 lbs when I tell people your story. I remember the stillness of the room as I snuggled you in my robe. Everyone had left and it was just you and me. You stared at me with your big round brown eyes and our hearts were joined from that moment on.
Today as we snuggle in your bed every night, you look at me with those same eyes and hug me so tight. You bring us so much joy sweet boy. You love so intensely and I know what that feels like. You put every fiber of your being into whatever it is that you are doing, or want to do. We love you and hope that you have a great birthday. You are a blessing!
Love,
Daddy and Mommy
And now for Birthday festivies....Matey!!
We had a morning party with a few school friends, they were oddly quiet and well behaved for a handful of 4/5 year olds!!!. And then we had family/friends like family party in the afternoon. Whew, what a day, it was great, long, fun, and the smiles and squeals from my little FIVE year old boy made everything worth while!
