But, today will always be remembered in our family as the day I gave birth to a baby moose. Yes, it was five years ago today.
This photo was taken on January 25th, less than a week before A's grand arrival. As hubby so eloquently puts it "A small child could find shade under there!"...
Can I just tell you how much I miss wearing shorts in January? LOL!After a very intense, and thankfully brief, two hour labor, A. was born at an impressive 9lbs. 14oz. and 22 3/4 inches long (though I have to tell you that once his little cone head went down, he was only 22 1/2 inches at his two week well-check)...
More of this trip down memory lane to come. We're off to take A. to circus school, then lunch and a movie, followed by a Webkinz-themed bday party this evening. Check back later for more fun!
UPDATE: We're back. We missed the movie! We were so disappointed! We left circus class and got stuck on the I-90 bridge due to a crime scene investigation after a violent carjacking took place. We were on the bridge for over an hour, and consequently missed the showing of Veggie Tales: The Pirates Who Don't do Anything. I may take the kids tomorrow. The day was salvaged somewhat with lunch at Red Robin, where the staff is so great at making a big deal out of birthdays. Everyone clapped and sang for A., and he had a big smile on his face. Then I high-fived him - we used to give high-fours when he was four, but now we can give five.
Back to the photos....
Here's N. with A. (she was 3 1/2 at the time).
And here's the birthday boy when he was just 9 days old. This was the photo we used for his birth announcement.
He took off running (with the remote - he understood where the power lies at an early age) a week after his 9 month bday. Apparently he didn't get the memo that reads "babies should not be walking on their own":

What great photos!!
Happy 5th Birthday!
It was so fun to go down memory lane of A 5 years. He is such a cutie. Just want to reach out and hug him. Wish we could have been there for his party. Looks like he had a lot of fun. Look forward to more pics of the party.
Great job on your posting L. Love it, love it, love it!!
Can't wait to hear about the birthday party--Webkinz theme would go over well with my kids. Ooooh, ouch, can totally relate to that short labor with your big guy. Mine with #2 was 2.5 hrs from water breaking to baby in arms. The nurses said I could come back and have babies there anytime since I came in and got right down to business. LOL, thanks for the invite, but no thanks ;-) Happy 5th birthday, big guy!
