5 Years Ago, I became a mom

My beautiful baby boy was born 5 years ago today. I can't believe it has been 5 years already! Really? Where did my baby boy go?

Back in 2003...

At just 5 minutes old...

then at 1 yr 2004...

2nd birthday....

3rd birthday...

4th birthday, 2007...

I stayed up until 2am decorating dining room with the Spongebob theme and his bedroom door, wrapping presents, baking cookies...so tired right now.

I made these cone cupcakes for daycare kids at Mrs. F, they had a little party Tues for him... We made these Monday night and Ethan helped by putting on all the sprinkles. First time making these, I filled about half of them with too much batter and they overflowed in the oven! E picked out the funfetti cake with white frosting.

I made up these star cookie suckers to take to his preschool class today. I only have one pan of 6 stars, so took 4 batches...part of the reason why I had a late night. I bought the sucker bags & sticks at Michaels, had to tie with yellow ribbon-E's fav color.

Here is Ethan this morning smiling as his Ga T sings Happy Birthday to him on the phone. T's parents came over last night with part of his gift since they are out of town tonight.


I hope he has a fun day today! After preschool, T & I are going to take him to Red Robin for lunch.
