From Nine Months to Nine Years

This week has been such a whirlwind that it has taken me days to process it (and truthfully, I'm still processing it). As I mentioned Sunday , we had a week of partying. But through all of the pizza, cake, games, and movies, a much bigger thing happened. The little boy, my first born, my Sonny-Bunny became a big boy, a tween. The baby that I fought to keep inside for nine months has turned nine years!!!From the start, he was his Dad's boy, a little doppelganger...He became a big brother...He learned to ride a bike...And he became a Scout...This was his last night as an eight year old...But now he's nine...But at the end of the day, he's still my beautiful boy. Many times I say that I'm not sure how I got here. And that's true but however it happened, I am and forever will be immensely grateful and blessed.Happy birthday beautiful boy. The world just keeps getting better and better with you in it. Your Mommy loves you very much.
