Happy Birthday, Peanut!

I can't believe it! Today is Peanut's tenth birthday. My baby is in the double digits. He was born in the afternoon about the same time as this gets posted. He was induced four weeks early as it seemed like he wasn't growing as he was supposed to be in the womb. At birth, he was 5 pounds 2 ounces and was just precious. He was small but he was beautiful. We were thrilled to add another boy to the family. Pumpkin was a great big brother from the minute he saw him. Pumpkin's favorite memory of that day was bringing a picnic dinner to the hospital. I think it was his choice of McDonald's. Gotta love it! We all ate around my bed and Pumpkin got to get cookies from the nurses' station.

Today, Peanut got up early to open his presents.

Recently, he showed a renewed interest in Zip Zaps. The big brother got the last two for him that Radio Shack had in stock.


No birthday would be complete without Legos. He kept telling his dad that there were Indiana Jones legos. Now, he owns a set! He got the Indiana Jones Lego game for the Xbox 360 too. I'll have to pry them away from that:)

At soccer camp, his coach recognized him. All the campers sang Happy Birthday. We brought in popsicles at the end of camp to celebrate. HIS day is a busy one with his first swim meet this evening. He is swimming for the country club and seems to be enjoying it. We are planning a putt-putt party next week. We are on the party every other year rotation. This is the year!
