It's Finally Here



My baby boy is turning two years old today! I still remember the moment he was born. I got a chance to say hello before he was whisked away to the NICU doctors. It was almost three hours later before I got to hold him in my arms. I remember it as though it was yesterday. We bonded throughout our week in the hospital and by the time we got home I was head over heels in love.

Coming home day...Mom is not looking the greatest!
Already saying "No more pictures please." Poor child...he has only known life with a flash!

When I first found out I was having a boy, I was shocked to put it mildly. Now I think back and wonder what I was thinking...he's the most amazing child!

Last night I asked him how old he was. We've been practicing all week saying "I'm one" but soon I'll be "two!" So I grabbed the video camera and decided to catch it on camera one last time...here is what happened!


It's official. He is two and he definitely knows it. This weekend we are having a very big celebration. All things ELMO, including the big guy himself. I can't wait to post the pictures!
