My first born…
…is five today.
It’s been a long five years,
let me tell you.
And while I’ve waited a long time for this day,
now that it’s here….
I’m feeling a bit sentimental.
What started as this:
soon became this…
and before I knew it, he was 1.
{first broken arm}
{first guitar lesson}
Two was kinda rough, and we almost didn’t make it through…
{second broken arm}
but then he started going to the bathroom on his own…
and he looked so cute with a guitar…
not to mention he had a smile to make you melt…
so we decided to keep him around and see what three would be all about…
{from a baby….}
{…to a boy. first haircut}
He just became even cuter with a guitar…
and seriously, who could resist a 3 year old with tats?
And we knew we’d made a good decision in keeping him,
when we saw how sweet he was to his brand new little sister.
Not to mention he was totally a David Beckham in the making:
And then he turned 4…
and I was puddy in this little mans hands.
He continued to wow me with his talents…
{his first fish!}
but it was always his heart that got me the most…
{and it continues to still}
And on his last week of being 4….
{first missing tooth}
He showed me just how big he really was getting by losing his first tooth.
And then even more so by thanking ME the next morning for the dollar and candy under his pillow….
because, duh…
{spoiler alert here!}
the tooth fairy isn’t real.
And now,
he’s five.
But in my eyes….
he’ll always be my sweet little baby boy.
My firstborn son.
I love you Tay Tay Bay-Bay,
with all of my heart.
Happy Birthday sweet boy.

They grow up too fast, don’t they?
Aw, I love seeing all the pictures! I now feel like I’ve known him since birth!

What a great way to honor his fifth b-day!! My little guy is 5 next month too…and I have to agree with you, it SO hasn’t always been easy. My guy can be a little terror at times…a terror that doesn’t stop talking. ever.
SUMMER! Awwwww…I just love him! He looks so much like Chloe in one of those baby pictures, and then he just looks more and more like Jimmy. He is SO, so cute. And I love how you chronicled his little journey so far. What a beautiful, beautiful post.
He’s such a cutie! I love the mother/son bond so much! My little man will be 5 in August and my oldest {daughter} is 7 today!

Awww, precious 🙂 He is so adorable, just like your little miss… you have the cutest kids, I swear. And I am IN LOVE with his longer, curly hair. I have a weakness for babies with hair like that, and secretly hope for that for my own kiddos someday 🙂
xoxo J
you have me in tears, Summer. My kids can’t grow up.
The jelly bean picture is hilarious LOL
Awww, that was such a sweet tribute. Isn’t it amazing how fast teh time flies?
Your two remind me of my two. My son (8) is so sweet and protectice of his little sister (4.5). Even now, when they should be fighting over toys and TV shows, he just loves her.
And it looks like your boy feels the same way about his sis.
Mine will be 5 in October. I’m not handling it really well. Your little guy is SO CUTE and looks just like his daddy.
OH, Summer! He is the cutest baby ever!!!! Oh, that picture is making me want to go home and have unprotected sex tonight! I’d get pregnant for sure! Okay, so Happy Birthday to your 5 YEAR OLD BOY!
