My Baby is 5!

For Nate's 5th birthday I thought it would be fun to go back in time and reflect on the last 5 years...here goes.

Nate on the day of his birth.

Nate's 1st birthday party with family at our apartment in California.

Nate just days after his 2nd birthday.

Nate enjoying some yummy cake at a small 3rd birthday party at our home in California.

Nate's 4th birthday where he debuted his razor scooter moves.

We'll post more pictures of the day's festivities later, but for now,
Happy 5th Birthday Nate!!

Wow 5 already! What a cute kid. I love how he brought you breakfast. What a sweetheart. And thanks for the reminder to be a little more grateful about being a mom. Some days I have to stop and remind myself that I'm super lucky. It helps the frustrations and the lack of patience a bit better.
