Happy Birthday Kevin!

Kevin's cake

My one and only baby boy turned 6 years old today! He's growing up so fast. It's hard for me to imagine he's already 6 years old. (It's even harder for me to imagine I'm as old as I am! Where does the time go?) He was just 4 pounds, 12 ounces when he was born (delivered at 32 weeks). Now he's a whopping 65 pounds and is a big kid for his age! But he'll always be my baby.

I sang Happy Birthday to him this morning as I woke him up for school. He sort of mumbled and rolled over to go back to sleep, but then he remembered what day it was and got up. I put a candle in his toaster streudel and let him blow it out at breakfast! But tomorrow is his real party when his relatives will all be here for cake and ice cream and fun. We'll blow up balloons and sing once more, and he'll unwrap even more presents that I have nowhere to put. (It's hard having a birthday right after Christmas. People are out of money by then!)

He's so excited about being 6. He can no longer count his age on one hand. That's a milestone. You should see his face glow when I tell him that. Also, he's supposed to get a birthday hat at school. He's so been looking forward to that. I'll post a picture of his hat when I get one!

(UPDATE: Here's the picture of his birthday hat!! He was wearing it
when I picked him up from school today! He's very proud of it!)

Here's a cute picture from his very first birthday party.

The following picture is from Christmas morning where he's modeling his new footie pajamas that Santa gave him (parts of them glow in the dark too!). He loves them so. They're really snuggly warm! He still has his cute little dimples which I hope never go away. And he has those beautiful blue eyes and a big beautiful heart to go with them.

(he still has bedhead here!)

I'll have more pictures to share with you later after his actual birthday party tomorrow.

Oh my baby boy, how I do love you so....

Happy Birthday Kevin!

In the meantime, I've been working on lots of new things for my shop. I'll give you a sneak peek at what's to come. I have loads of stuff but need to work on the pictures to get them ready (remember, I have a dying sensor in my camera making spots on all my pics. Loads of time cleaning up). This is just a peek, mind you. I haven't gotten all the images ready yet but I'm slowly working on them. I just did the first image for each piece, but this gives you an idea. (And there are four pairs of earrings that didn't make it into the collage!)

This gives you some idea of what I've been up to!


Until next time, I hope everyone has a happy weekend!
