Today I (along with many others) helped you celebrate your sixth birthday! It made me think about your actual birth day when I was there to see your entrance into the world. I hadn't intended to be at the birth, but your mom went into labor a few days before your due date, and I just happened to be at their house that weekend. You made us wait awhile once we got to the hospital. I had to sleep on some uncomfortable chairs that night and thought for sure you'd make your appearance in the morning.
Morning came and went and still nothing. But sure enough, about 24 hours after your mom thought you were on your way, you were here! I got to hold you right away--you were just the most special baby I had ever seen. I couldn't quite believe how much I loved you from the moment I saw you. I made your uncle Troy drive back to your parents' the next weekend because I wanted to see you again. I held you as much as I could and fed you some bottles. You were so tiny and the sweetest baby ever. I was so excited to be an aunt!
We spent a lot of time with you your first couple of years. I was always so excited to see you. You were the easiest baby to care for. We hardly knew you were there. This may explain why your sister Brooke came along eighteen months later! You made it seem too easy.

So here you are, six short years later, getting older and wiser every day. You are still such a sweet boy with an easy smile. I think back to some of your other birthdays--like your first birthday when you fell asleep or when you turned two and blew out your candles over and over because you thought it was so fun. This year I will remember how you read your own birthday cards! I hope you have a wonderful sixth birthday. I look forward to celebrating many more with you and being reminded of why your birth day is so special.

What a special keepsake for Tyler. In a few years I'm sure he'll really cherish it!
