Happy 9th Birthday Cobe!

Hard to believe my oldest child is 9! He still is and will always be my baby! I wish I had some baby pictures of him on my computer, but I was not into taking pictures back then, nor was I into putting them on the computer- I'm pretty sure they weren't digital.

He was the tiniest baby- only 17 inches long. At the time, I thought he was adorable, but looking back, he looked like a tiny monkey. :-) We had such a scare at his birth. I was extremely sick with toxemia, so they sent me straight to the hospital to have an emergency c-section (he wasn't due for 5 and a half more weeks.) I don't remember much of the birth at all, and I guess looking back, it was quite a blessing that I was so out of it. Cobe wasn't doing well at all when he was born, but I was so sick, that I was unaware of the seriousness of it. He did not have any muscle tone for awhile, and he had fluid in his lungs. BUT- boy did he prove to be a fighter from day 1! He hasn't lost that fiestiness either- he is our little go-getter. He is still smaller than average, but boy does he make up for it in determination. Love you buddy- mom and dad are SOOOOO proud of you and all of your many accomplishments! Happy 9th Birthday!


Here he is on Thursday at his birthday party. All the rest of the pictures are from 2007-2008- he is growing up!

He is adorable, but please don't tell him I said that about him. Too bad we can't see you guys more.
