Dear Camden,
You, my sweet little boy, celebrated your 3rd birthday yesterday.
As in three whole years old.
I’m still not entirely sure how we got here. Weren’t you just learning to crawl? Sit up? Walk? Now my peanut, you are all over the place! Asking 5 zillion “why’s” every 5 seconds; running around at top speed; climbing up jungle gyms; and insisting that you can do it “by myself”. Your second year has brought us so much happiness and so much toddler angst and through it all though, you remain the most loving little boy ever. You are smart, silly, and so full of hilarity that I couldn’t imagine a day without you. And honestly, I wonder what life was like before you. Boring I imagine. Very quiet and boring.
I have no idea what the next year holds for you, but I have a good feeling about your 3s. You are so special and strong and I love everything about the little boy you’re becoming. Your heart is sincere and kind and loving and while things haven’t been all puppy dogs and rainbows lately, you still smile every single day. And I love you so much for that. I can’t wait to teach you how to ride your bike this summer, watch you play lots of soccer with your daddy, entertain us all with your amazing Phillip Phillips performances. I can’t wait for it all! You, my sweets, are amazing and make your mommy and daddy so incredibly happy, so proud, and so full of joy.
Happy birthday my sweet monkey.
Te amo mucho.
Mommy.

I am such a big fan of that kiddo of yours – happy birthday, Camden!
How absolutely precious is he, Katie?? I want to squeeze him through the screen he is so sweet. Him with his guitar? So stinkin’ precious. I hope he had the most fabulous birthday and that his 3rd year will be filled with so much joy and learning. Cheers to your sweet boy!
Well, Katie, once again your words and loving feelings have brought me to tears. Camden has been a ray of sunlight for all of us in his family. Everytime we’re around him he fills us with joy and leaves us wanting more laughter, more cars to play with, more walks around the corner (ha), and more Phillip Phillips on his prized guitar. He is truly one special little boy. I, like you, think that the three’s are going to be magical!
katie. these are amazing. perfect little time capsules. happy birthday little man!
I teared up reading this. The way you love your little guy is so inspiring! And he is beautiful – so grown up with that haircut! I hope his birthday was so, so happy.
