Caden......

.....is 5! I can't believe that he's 5. I can't believe it's been 5 years since this little tiny bundle came into our lives. It seems so short, and yet, I can't remember my life without him in it. He's amazing, hilarious, imaginative, adventurous, and wild. For some reason, hitting this 5 year mark has been especially hard on me. I don't usually get super emotional about birthdays, but I am really affected by this one. I keep getting teary eyed thinking about how far he's come in just 5 years. I keep wondering how he went from a tiny baby to a big boy! It's never going to stop amazing me how fast flies by. I can't wait to see what Caden becomes, but I don't want him to stop being my baby! Wow, 5 years. It has been such a journey =) I love every year for so many different reasons. Happy 5th Birthday, Caden! You make me so happy and have taught me so many things about being a mom. I love you so so so much and can't wait to see what you're going to do next!
