My baby is 9 today!!!

Where did the last 9 years go? It seems like yesterday I was bringing him home from the hospital. Dakota was 5 days old when he got to come home. He was born with complications and was in the Special Care Nursery. I know that there are a lot of moms who could not take their babies home for weeks or even months, so I am grateful that he was only there for 5 days, but leaving him there was one of the hardest things that I have ever had to do. Then when he was two months old, he had RSV which is a respiratory virus and he spent 3 days in the hospital then. He was the best baby I could have asked for. I took him to work with me until he was 8 months old. Well, he's made up for all that goodness ever since!! haha, just kidding. He is a pretty good kid, he just has his moments. I guess he's not much worse than the average boy. I remember my brother was awful sometimes. He was wired most of the time and I have always been pretty laid back. Dakota has a lot of the same energy that Joel (my brother) had. So anyway, my baby is 9 today!! He had a good birthday, got a lot of loot. Now I have to try to convince him that it's bed time!
See ya again soon!
