Sunday Snapshot: {growing up}

My baby – that I first held in my arms when he was just 16 months old – is 6 now.



And that called for a celebration.



At his request, we had dinner at Chick-Fil-A.



And a few presents.



Then back home for the rest of the celebration.



Jude chose a cookie cake, frosted in red.

His new favorite color.



The first time he has chosen a birthday dessert he actually planned on eating.

And eat it, he did



Then it was time for the big gift.

The one he’d been hoping for. Asking for. Pleading for.



A new bike.

A new, big bike.

A new big, red bike.



There’s just nothing better than making your baby smile.

Happy Birthday, sweet Jude.

We love you like crazy.
