Happy Birthday! Part 2 in a Series

Today is the Pipster's 10th birthday---he is so excited to be reaching double digits!

(You can still see a bit of redness on his face from the poison ivy)

Pip keeps life interesting. He was my smallest baby at 7 lbs. 12 oz., 3 weeks early, and spent the first 8 days of his life in NICU. Do the math: if he had been born 3 weeks later, adding a pound of body weight per week, he would have been almost 11 lbs. Scary.

Once he got out of the hospital, he put on all that weight he had missed out on. I expect him to be a giant of a man; he reminds me of a bear cub---solid muscle and big paws! He's smart and playful, funny and kind, and very energetic. Lots of fun to have around!

Happy Birthday, Pipster
We love you!!!!
