My Teenager!

It seems so hard for me to believe, but it's true, my first born is now a teen! It doesn't seem all that long ago that I held him in my arms for the first time. His first night at home he didn't want to sleep, it was a long long night even. Because he was born a month early, he attended, my baby shower on March 27th. We didn't have much ready for him yet either. Pat was still painting his room, when I told him I thought I was in labor. We didn't even have a car seat yet, my cousins were giving us a car seat as a shower present. One of them brought it over to Pat so we could take baby Joey home from the hospital. Joseph has always been independent and willful. Sometimes those traits were and are a challenge. I'm looking forward in watching him grow in character. Happy Happy Birthday! Love, Mommy
