N's 6th Birthday.

OK, to start off with, YES, I know I have already failed with the 365 plan for this blog, but I'm still going to keep writing when I can and sooner or later it has to become a habit right?

Today was N's 6Th birthday. I really can hardly believe that he is 6 already. Time seems to have just flown by. It honestly does just seem like yesterday when he was born. Its kind of hard to get used to the idea that in the blink of an eye I don't have anymore babies in the house.

He was the toughest labor of the boys (he was transverse which means that he decided to come out face up and ready to see the world), he was the longest labor at just under 7 hours, his was the most painful labor (coming out face up also means that we were spine rubbing on spine and let me tell you....that hurts BIG TIME!) and he was the biggest, at 7 lb 10 oz, but he was also the most laid back baby of the 4. I'm serious, this kid was a dream baby....nursed well, no matter where we were, napped like a champ (2 naps a day of at least 2 hours each) and was sleeping through the night by 6 weeks. I couldn't have asked for a better baby.

And I am happy to report that for the most part, he still to this day is an easy going, happy go lucky kid, who loves to help people, makes friends easily, has an awesome love of reading and learning, a HUGE imagination and whos favorite vegetable is broccoli. I could probably go on for hours about what an awesome little boy he is.

So today, on the day when he has decided that he "is a big boy now" and doesn't need my help with ANYTHING anymore, I am reflecting on all of the good times we've had together, what the future hold for us, and more importantly what it holds for him, as he continues to grow and learn and explore all that life has to offer. I have a feeling things are going to be great!
