Noah is 5!

I can hardly believe it. Noah Mayer Gideon is five years old. How can it be? Where has the time gone? Every time over the last few weeks, when someone asked how old he is, my eyes would well up with tears. He's going to be five.

My funny, bright, energetic baby is now a big boy. I tell him he is a big boy, but he will always be my baby.

As he is our last child, I try to slow him down (like I can really do that!). I try to savor every moment and stage. He's so anxious to keep up with his brother and sister. Slow down Noah, you have plenty of time.

Although I miss the baby days with him, I am amazed at all he has learned and accomplished in these short 5 years. I'm excited to see all that he will do in the next 5 years and many years after that.

Happy Birthday Lovebug! Mommy loves you very much!
