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.
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, 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.
