Happy 16th Birthday JM!!!

So, JMs day started out with me singing Happy Birthday to him! Though, I told him he isn't 16 until 5pm tonoc b/c that is when he was born! He weighed in at a whooping 6lbs 9oz. He was 21in long. He had blondish hair and really dark blue eyes....
JMs hospital picture.
I thought he looked so much like his dad's family!

Once home, he slept in a cradle underneath a window b/c we had some jaundice issues...
This is a special cradle my Grandma passed through our family.

When JM was about 6mo old, my parents and I went to Indy to visit...
and we went to the zoo and visited lots of places. JM and I were pretty tired!

JM...

1994... he was almost 2 in this picture. He was so smart. He could spell 3 letter words (like cat, mom, dad, dog) at 2.

JM and I....

1996... he was 3 in this picture.

JM really wanted a sibling...

I will post pics from later today tomorrow. We are taking JM out for dinner. I have to go by the school today and surprise him with something. I can't believe he is 16. Just seems like time has flown by! Almost over noc he has went from being a kid to a teenager!

I can hardly believe that JM is 16 today! I have tears in my eyes just thinking about it! (terrible, aren't I???) I remember when he was a baby & it just seems impossible that he has grown so quickly!
Be sure to tell him that we wish him the happiest birthday ever!

It's so hard to believe they grow up so fast. It's hard to believe they won't be baby's anymore. I love th pic of JM and the twins. They look so happy to be with their big brother.

Happy BDay JM!!
