NO LONGER A CHILD BUT ALWAYS MY LITTLE BOY

Our boy turns 13 today. He is no longer a child. He will now and forever be our little boy. It is hard for me to believe that my baby is growing up so fast.

He is almost as tall as me. He can wear his dads clothes. He outgrew my shoe size a few years ago and his feet are now bigger than his dads. He is not the "little" brother just the younger brother. He has towered over Cheyenne since they were 3 and 4. He is getting ready to start the 8th grade. He is going to play football for the first time.

I feel such joy when I think about the young adult he is becoming. He has come along way in the last year. Very noticeably in the last few months. He has worked very hard to overcome his obstacles. I am so proud of him.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAKOTA!
We all love you very much :)

We ran out of boy birthday wrapping paper so Cheyenne wrapped most of his gifts in pink "birthday girl" paper.

The bad thing about letting sisters wrap the gifts is she blabbed and told him everything he was getting so there was no surprise :(
