Five years ago today my life changed for the better.
Five years ago today began one of the greatest adventures of my life.
Five years ago, Edmund David was born and Walter and I became parents. He came earlier and in a way I never could have planned or expected (go back to the last blog post I did in 2009 to read his incredible birth story) and stole my heart.
He started out as the most easy laid-back baby ever, but once he started walking at 14-months, he was all over the place and has never slowed down. He is our crazy extrovert, which makes things interesting for two introverted parents, who loves life and lives it to the fullest. He loves people and anyone he meets he instantly calls his "best friend." It's been so amazing to watch him grow and change. I love hearing his stories and everything he learned at school that day -- he's learning to spell/write his last name right now (poor child). He loves his little sister and is so helpful with her. The two play together all the time and are the best of friends. It warms my heart.
Every morning starts with him running to me and jumping in my arms for a big hug. His smile lights up my day (and check out his amazing eyelashes!).
He has a servant heart, like his daddy, and loves to find ways to help me and others. He adores his daddy and looks more like him every day. The two have a sweet, special bond.
I'm so thankful for the sweet, funny, silly, playful, loving, wrestling, tackling, snuggly, smart, outgoing, friendly, little boy. I love you, Edmund David. You made me a mommy and changed my life forever.
Happy 5th birthday!
