It’s hard to believe it’s been 6 years since my little guy made his early entrance into this world! My heart is so full it could burst with love for him. He’s like the perfect ending to a happy story. This collage is a poor attempt at summing him up so far: Jared still in the NICU, Jared at about 8 months old, Jared at two (potty training!) and Jared just this Fall. He’s been handsome from Day 1.
Early, born at 34 weeks weighing 4 lbs 2 oz, but looking chubby compared to Sydney’s 3 lbs just a year earlier, he was able to come home at just 8 days old. Late on December 23, 2006, we got to bring our surprise Christmas gift home. I don’t remember much that Christmas, other than holding a baby boy and Sydney starting to walk (finally!), but I do know it was a happy one!
My friend Stephanie’s boy, Nathan, was born the same day as Jared at the same hospital. They are birthday buddies and real-life buddies. Last year we took them to Pizza Hut for lunch while their older siblings were at school. With both boys being in kindergarten this year, we tried something different: Bowling! So fun!
All ready to bowl: Sydney, Jared, Nathan, Corban and Nathan’s sister Emily.
Jared and Nathan picked out Legos for each other. Love those happy faces!
Later on, Grandma and Grandpa came over and we celebrated with ice cream cake. Yum!
Jared was one (happy) spoiled little boy for his birthday! By the looks on their faces, Sydney and Corban were happy for him, too! I am so blessed that my kids play so well together.
