It Has NOT Been Five Years!!!
Five years ago today, my handsome little Bubba was born. Last year, for all of my children’s birthdays, I shared their “birth story.” Blake’s is here. It’s about as dramatic as a Soap Opera Sunday, so if you’re into birth stories, his is definitely one to read.
This year, I’m going to post some of my favorite pics of each kid on their birthday. Alas, with the move, and the other move, and the preparing to move yet again, most of my pics are unaccessible. So Bubba gets the raw end of this deal. Fortunately, though, Bubba was such a gorgeous baby (if I may brag thusly) that pretty much ANY picture I find of him will be beautiful. Oh, how I love this little boy. I’m so grateful that he’s mine. Happy Birthday, dude.
So sweet and tiny!
His eyes are truly the bluest blue I’ve ever seen.
Umm… decorating? Or Terrorizing?
Shouldn’t he be on a Duran Duran album cover from the eighties or something? Seriously. He’s SO John Taylor here.
So grown up!
(Okay, so we obviously missed a few years in there—we kinda skipped from age 1 to age 4…—but you get the point. He’s frickin’ darling. And I’m the proudest mama ever.)
I’m amazed that it’s been a year since you posted his birth story–and it’s a doozy!
Happy 5th, little dude!
You weren’t kidding — BEAUTIFUL baby pictures! Those eyes! Love the one in the swing!
And WHAT a birth story! He MUST be destined for greatness.
I’ve witnessed a lot of cosmic alignment (á la this baby being born on your grandma’s 100th birthday) — For instance, after struggling for years with cancer, my mom died on my youngest brother’s 18th birthday. It was like she couldn’t leave this planet until she’d seen every one of her children reach adulthood. I think our birth dates (and death dates) are far more significant than we realize.
Happy Birthday, Bubba!
He is beautiful. Gorgeous eyes. Happy Birthday.
My newborn baby was born April 30th (tomorrow)–21 years ago. Talk about mind boggling–time flies by!
My oldest will be 8 in two days. I can’t believe it.
Happy birthday mama.
How handsome!!! Happy Birthday bud!
Happy Birthday to my pal Bubba! What a gorgeous boy.
He IS frickin’ darling!
The picture of him on the swing is one of my very favorite of all time. He was so much fun to be around at that age . . . awww little Bubba. So grown up and so dang cute!!
I think that was a pretty good post. I couldn’t do it
. Keep up the good work.
Gorgeous. I’m sure you get it a lot but really that kid could be a model - not that we’d ever subject our kiddos to that crazy life but you know a cereal box or two wouldn’t hurt right
I’m very happy to have had girls, but you’re making me want a little boy next. Happy Belated Bubba!
Awwwww! Too cute. Happy Birthday, kiddo.
in about 10 years, prepare to get a separate phone line and batten down the hatches. he’s going to be a heartbreaker.
What a total charmer! Happy B’day to Bubba!
Oh, and a belated Gefeiciteerd to the big man. What a gorgeous kid!!!
Lang zal je leven!!! Gelukkig Verjaardag!
I mean, Gefeliciteerd.
Not that anyone is checking my Dutch spelling, but still.
hmmm… I like a blog post that makes me think.
what a darling!
He looks happily mischievous. Thanks for sharing.
Loved seeing the photos — they grow up so fast!
Great photos. Great kid
Your story caught my attention. My son’s nick name is Budda. He will be 14 in August. 5 was my favorite age for him. He is still a sweetheart, but man does time fly.
What a cutie! and what a proud mama you must be
Herzlichen gluckwunschen am geburtstag, kleine mann!

Awww… he’s so handsome!! Congrats on surviving the first five!

Hi lovely Brill. He is adorable. Hope you’re all doing ok. Hugs.x
That is one seriously good-lookin’ boy. Happy birthday, Bubba — and you have every right to be proud, Brillig!
My son’s eyes are like melted chocolate. We’ve always teased him that I might have to yank them out of there and eat them.
Absolutely adorable.
I love these posts of yours! He’s gorgeous. And he looks just like his daddy! (I love the Duran Duran photo!)
little handsome boy…..
OK I decide to collect my baby photo every year now
