Happy 1st Birthday Jax

A year has passed already. It is hard to believe. It seems like you were just born and we were celebrating your arrival with lots of excited happiness and where we are already celebrating your 1st birthday. We wish you all the best in the world. Happy birthday, hope you get lots of presents like a little baby boy should. We love you so much and can't wait to watch you grow and spend many more birthdays with you.

Jaxon

And so this little one will be 1 in two days. He's such a cutie pie and is growing so well, just like his brother but he's a little more chill as his mother would say. Jax has about seven teeth now and is starting to like the real food a lot better. He is walking by holding onto a finger and is loving a lot of cuddles. He has such kissable cheeks that we can't go for long before planting another kiss on him whether he likes it or not. These photos were taken on May 21, 2016.

From a Preemie to a 5 Year Old

Brandon was a tiny preemie when he was born over a month before due date. At just a little over four pounds he looked so small, skinny and vulnerable. We just prayed that he would survive and survive he did. After almost a month in the NICU he came home.

We surrounded him with love and watched him round the clock making sure he's breathing and eating enough to fatten him up. He slept a lot as young babies do and it was the best thing for him. We were lucky he was healthy after that being just a typical toddler. He grew and grew and before we knew it he turned 5 years old today.

He's come a long way but he is thriving and we're thankful for that. Last year he even became a big brother to baby brother Jaxon whom he loves. He started school like all the other kids. Good job goes out to the parents for raising this baby so well and to everyone else who loves him.

Happy 5th birthday Brandon.

You've grown so beautifully Brandon Chase
