This past weekend I became the mother of a 2 year old boy. As I do with every big milestone Wes has had I looked back at the time we’ve been blessed to have with him and tried to remember all of the things.
The way his first cries sounded.
The way he looked when I first saw him.
The days and nights that we spent in the hospital after his delivery.
The days and months that we had in our old house in Colorado.
The frantic 4 weeks of finding out we were moving from Denver to Little Rock.
The first steps and first words and hundreds of tiny little firsts in between.
The smiles and giggles, the joy and laughter.
The frustration and fears.
The first swims and first snows.
The first hug. The first kiss.
Between his birth 2 years ago and now there have been millions of little moments that I wish could stay forever. But with each passing moment my love for him grows stronger and fiercer. I didn’t know I could be capable of this much love – for both my husband and my son. That there could be so much joy in one little body. I didn’t know that being a mother would be the thing in life that made me ME, that made me feel like I am exactly as I should be.
These past two years have been amazing in every way, and I am so thankful that I was chosen to be the mommy of the sweetest little boy in the world. Weston, happy birthday my sweet man. You make us happier than we ever thought possible, and we love you more than we could ever say!

Happy (belated) Birthday to your sweet little man! I completely understand relishing each moment watching my boys grow up, and yet a little part of me wants to freeze them just as they are so that I don’t miss a thing.
Totally get that – it’s so fun watching Wes grow up, but I can’t imagine him being any different than he is right now!
Hoping Wes had a happy birthday! Such a sweet post. <3
Time does fly. How wonderful that you have had it filled with so much love. Happy birthday to your little fellow. 🙂
This is so sweet. Happy Birthday, Wes! Time moves so quickly with little ones!
Aww, happy birthday to Weston! I hope you guys have a wonderful time celebrating!
