Where Did My Baby Go?

Seven years ago last Sunday I became a mommy. Noah was born at 3:19 pm after 2 long exhausting days of labor. He was only 5lbs. 6 oz., but he was the healthiest baby in the nursery, where the nurses had nicknamed him "Mr. Handsome". He is truly a special spirit, and I am both proud and baffled that Heavenly Father chose me as his earthly mother.
It is difficult to be Noah's mother, because I don't get to be around him everyday and see the amazing little everyday things that he does and experiences. I am very sensitive about my relationship with him, and that is why it has taken me a few days to publish his birthday post. Choices and mistakes that I have made, have made Noah's life more difficult and confusing than usual. Two moms, two dads, two houses, two families.....He is actually very lucky that so many people love him and want to be around him. Of course if you know him you would know why. Not only is he smart, but he is funny, sarcastic, creative, compassionate, caring, athletic, talented beyond belief and his capacity for love astounds me.

Here are a few cute pics I found of him as a baby/toddler.







Here are some pictures of his party.











Grandma made a Satsuke (sp?)costume for Noah. It is his favorite character from Naruto. He loved it!
