Happy Birthday our special miracle baby!!

My heart is full of gratitude, love, and emotion as we have celebrated Caleb's birthday today. I can't help but think of the night he was born when he wasn't breathing on his own and was taken to the nursery so quickly for additional support. Minutes after that, a nurse came down to tell me that they were going to life-flight him to Primary Children's Hospital. It was the hardest thing that I have ever been through. The days that followed Caleb's birth were extremely difficult for Shaun and me and our entire family. Amazingly enough, he was able to come home in three and a half weeks time without oxygen, feeding tubes, or any other medication. He is strong and healthy and thriving in every way. He walks around the furniture, and crawls speedy fast. He loves to babble and even says a few little words, like "da da" and "papa" for Grandpa. He is such a content, happy baby and rarely ever cries. He has brought so much love and joy into our lives, and has made our family complete. Every day when I look into those big, beautiful blue eyes, I am reminded of the grace of God, and how blessed we really are. He truly is a miracle. Happy Birthday my special baby!! We love you more than words can say!!

He loved his cake, and just couldn't get enough!! Yum! Yum!!

Having lots of fun with all of the fun new toys that the Grandma's and Grandpa's brought.

Our wonderful families came to celebrate the joyous occasion!! We missed Grandpa "Pooper" (had to fly out on a business trip yesterday morning), and Uncle Kev. and Aunt Marcy.

We love you all!!
