Happy Birthday, Will

Today, he turned five years old at 10:37am.

He was our smallest baby and just 5 pounds, 10 ounces. He was our most beautiful newborn. He was my fastest labor and delivery, taking just 1 hour 37 minutes.

He was so small that we had to wrap him in three blankets just to get him to fit into his car seat the day we brought him home from the hospital. He wore preemie clothes for three weeks. You could hold him easily in one arm. He was our baby that cuddled the most.

But, today, with a weight of just 30 pounds, he amazes us. His size never stops him. He keeps up easily with his older brothers. He has many, many friends. His sense of humor is awesome. He has a heart the size of ten giants.

It feels as if it were just yesterday that he was born, and now, we have a sweet, lovable five year old getting ready to go to kindergarten. Time flies by way too quickly.
