My First Baby

I can't believe my boy is turning 9! Didn't he just start kindergarten yesterday? When you have a child I think the first year flies by, especially since pregnancy seems to last about five years. And then after they start school, time goes into warp speed. You're so busy with homework, projects, and after school activities that three months seem like a week. I find myself having thoughts like, "Oh gee Christmas is next week. Didn't school just start?" or "Twelve days left of school until summer break. Didn't they just have spring break?" Having Caroline brings back a lot of memories of Jonah being little. David asks me all the time if Caroline is the cutest baby I've ever seen. I do think she's adorable but I remember another baby that made my heart melt too.

Jonah's first birthday. This is the first time I realized Jonah has a serious sweet tooth.


This has always been one of my favorite pictures of Jonah. He's about 18 months here.


Here are a couple of pictures of David and Jonah right before Jonah's third birthday when David had come down to visit us in Florida.


Jonah with a couple of his buddies at his fourth birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese.


To celebrate his ninth birthday Jonah had a sleep over with a few of his best buddies.

The boys were a lot crazier than David and I anticipated. I think they could challenge any frat boys' partying skills. After staying up until 5:30 am it took the whole family to get Jonah up.


Happy Birthday JB! We love you!
