Double Digits

Noah is a decade old!
Yup, 10 years ago today this lovely boy entered the world.
And he had a dimple which I loved...and still love.
I loved dressing him in those Baby Gap pajamas that made him look like a stuffed sausage and I loved lathering him up with the lavender smelling baby bath and lotion!
He loved his Nuk and had at least 5-6 at all times. He used to poke them into his eyes while falling asleep. Breaking him of this habit took almost 5 years.

He loved Thomas the Train and Bear in the Big Blue House.

Sitting here I am struggling trying to write a post that truly expresses what a great boy he is and how proud Mike and I are of him.
To never have to worry that your child will let you down.....
To be able to rely on him and trust him.....
To have the utmost confidence in him always....

To watch him appreciate his grandparents and family members and want to make them proud.......

To watch him recognize the value of being a good person even at his young age.....

...these are all things Noah has given to us as his parents. Not a day goes by that we are not proud of him, not a day goes by that we are not thankful for him, and not a day goes by that we take for granted what a wonderful child we have been blessed with.

We love you Noah Michael. Happy Birthday Chicken Pie!

Very nice post LeeAnne. These boys make us so sentimental don't they?! Hope the birthday boy had fun at his party and that you and Connor had a nice night together also. We went to the movie also.
