Our journey into Parenthood began FIVE years ago today. Where did the time go? How can my baby be such a big boy already? Cliche questions, yes. But when I look at these two photos, side by side, these are the phrases I can't seem to blink away. Five years ago I wore different glasses, had a few less smile lines etched on my face, and got to sleep in until 9am on weekends. Other than that, not much has changed about me. I still have the same winter jacket I wore to the hospital the night of my labor. My eyes are still green, I'm still the same height and weight, and I wear my hair the same way. D, on the other hand, has become an entirely different person. Once a tiny, helpless, dependent little baby, now he's an opinionated, talkative, lovable little 'guy'. His dark hair has lightened to a soft brown, his eyes changed from blue to green, and he's tall and lanky. I can barely carry him in my arms anymore, but that won't stop me from carrying him in my heart for a lifetime. Happy Birthday D!
