One week ago..

My sweet boy, my first born, the one who made me a Mama turned four. I'm not the sappy type but just typing four makes me a little teary. I can hardly believe the boy that he is becoming. The way he expresses himself, his quirky sense of humor and ferocious desire to be heard. He is my heart outside of my chest.

In keeping with our family tradition I took Dade's picture the day before his birthday.

The years in review---

 Going home from the hospital.

 The day before 1.

 The day before 2.

The day before 3.

August 9th, 2010 the day before my big boy turned 4

No more chubby cheeks or baby face he is a real bonafide boy.
