We have a birthday in the house today. A sweet little boy who was born at 5:52 pm, February 26th, 2000. Our Millennium Baby.
Nine years go by so quickly. It seems like just yesterday we brought him home from the hospital.
Just yesterday we were bleary-eyed from rocking a colicky baby to sleep two or three times a night.
Things are different now, nine years later. He entertains us daily with his creative stories, drawings, songs, and personalities.
And rarely does this interaction happen at 3am anymore 😉
Happy Birthday, Aidan!
We love you, we’re proud of you, and we’re beside ourselves with happiness that you’ve slept through the night for the past seven and a half years.
Fantastic. You look sooooooooooooo much alike!!!!!!!!!! To 99 more years, at least. Liz
Actually, you should see him next to my husband – their resemblance to each other is even more amazing!
What a great face he has! Mom’s too!

Happy Birthday!!! Love the bunting, I have a ton of larger scraps out on my sewing table right now to make us a couple of them as well 😉
I had fun making it. Each triangle has a different striped fabric on the front, and the same Amy Butler design on the back. I figured I’d use the flamboyant stripes for most occasions, and the more laid-back single-pattern side for occasions pertaining to the husband, who is less enthusiastic about colorful mix-and-match things than I am 🙂
[…] have gone just a little bit banner crazy. I was in the middle of making letter tags to attach to my fabric bunting (because that’s what everyone does the day before a party when half of the house is still in […]
