Happy Birthday!!

5 Years ago..

Sammy came into our lives!

Our sweet boy

we love you so much!

you see this world so differently than the rest of us..

you take an extra close look at everything..

you are cool like that..

and delicious, i might add!

and irresistable..

you've been in the thick of your own place..where you have not needed much from me,

only coming out of your place so briefly to be loved upon..

to retreat until you were ready again for more of our world..

you've been so surprising..

so laid back..

so intensly comfortable with yourself..

approaching all of life with the same intensity..

different..

but

so

intense.

your laughter is so contagious..

you are such a light to gaze upon.

you were created so wonderfully!

this was such a lucky yellow swing..you spent SOOO much time soaring to new heights

on this yellow swing
:)

and this hammock...

lucky little hammock!

you've been emerging from your cocoon..

at your own pace..

and we are so excited for you!!

for all of the newness you are experiencing..

even the little things are big for you

( this one had to go in this montage... elmo underwear...Mommy's shoes.. and a view...)

you've been taking your time..

that's just like you..

you know when it's time to rest..

you know when you've had too much..

you know so much!!

you know life shouldn't be about doing everything so fast..

you've perfected the art of savoring..

of dwelling...

and forever..dwell... is what you will do in my heart..

my perfectly made..

quiet.

courageous.

gentle.

sweet.

loveable.

bright.

tender.

intense.

one of a kind.

silly.

surprising.

emerging.

Joy of my life!

Sammy Bear!

Dada and Mommy went to your school with cupcakes for your Special day!!

YOU LOVE CUPCAKES!!


you haven't always...

actually, you just started liking them a couple months ago..

hooray you!

There is no doubt now!!

We had your favorite meal..

with a few decorations..

you were satisfied..

which was a perfect ending..

to the day we celebrated YOU!!!

I adore you Baby Bear!

always..

Mommy





Have a Love-fully!
