My little baby turns 6 in a few weeks and I wanted to somehow create a layout that was not about his birthday party but about him and all of the great fun we have had together in the past year. A few months ago when I realized that his birthday was coming up I got teary-eyed at the realization that he would be 6!! Where did the time go?? Where is my cuddly little baby? Certainly I am not the first mother (nor will I be the last) to realize just how fast our children grow and how little our time with them is- so we need to make the best of it!

On Groundhog Day he will reach a new milestone- for him this is an important birthday. As sad as I am to see the little baby go he has become so much more – he is now the cuddly boy, the sweet little man who tells me how he is a ‘genius’ and who says that he is cute ‘because he is’. He is now beginning to read in French and English and really can be so mature some days!! It will be neat to see how he grows into the man he will eventually become.

I love you Austin- Happy Birthday!
