My little man is 6 today!!!

[rachaelsscraps]

Last week did me in with my baby turning 2 years old! Now today my son is 6!!!! I can't believe it!!! He's come such a long way in his 6 years, he was born 9 1/2 weeks early and weighed only 1 lb. 15 oz. He's had his share of obstacles the past years from being premature, but he's caught up so quickly. He's been reading and writing, something we weren't sure he'd be able to do. He can build a 100 piece puzzle in 5 minutes! He's such a smart little guy... or should I say big guy, his head comes up to my shoulders already and he's only 6!!!!

here is is a week old, the first time they let me hold him in the NICU


And here he is now!


Happy Birthday Gunner!!!!

Happy birthday to the little guy. I'm always amazed by the teeny tiny preemie pics, so precious.

Happy Birthday, Gunner!! You've definitely come a long way!

(Lily was a preemie too, but only 5 weeks early...adds a whole other dimension to these milestones though, right?!). Yay for sharing a "lucky" birth date- 7/7!
