Three Years of Joy

He was my first baby born while I was writing this blog.

I found out just a few short weeks after I started blogging that he was on his way into our family.

Today, he turns three. Lincoln - my third baby boy.

It has been such a joy sharing his life on here - announcing his birth to friends and family, sharing my struggle as we prayed for him to grow, and chronicling his life through pictures and stories.

It's amazing to look back - through the pictures on this blog - and see how he has changed and grown and relive moments of his life.

I spent some time today looking through his photos - the ones I've shared here. My sweet little boy has grown up right before my eyes, and yet, I don't see him as more than a baby. And, since so many of you have been here for much of his life, I thought I'd share what I saw today.

Here's a look at how he's changed over the last three years.

And, today. His first day as "a three".

All he wants is a "bawoon" cake. We promised him one when Grandma and Grandpa come to visit and we have his party.

Happy Birthday - to one of the sweetest children I have ever known.

I love you, Lincoln.
