9 years ago....

We were all crowded in a hospital room patiently waiting for my time to go to the ER!
Not so patiently waiting to find out if the newest bundle would be a boy or a girl???
Most people had bets in a girl but I had my doubts. 
I woke up after my csection to find out I had a 10lb 4oz bag of potatoes with a side order of gravy ...so the Doctor told me! 
It wasn't till I was fully awake and back in my room that I found out that we were welcoming a baby boy!!!!

He was soooooo cubby. His rolls had rolls, he had a double chin and a full head of jet black hair!

This is Mr Dalton at 8 wks old (sadly I can't find any new born photos on my computer)

He had grown into such a kind hearted, gentle sole, he would give you the shirt off his back if he thought it would make you smile! 
9 years of ups and downs, ins and outs, and we haven't even hit the teen years yet. Out of the 3 boys Dalton has been my most trying child. He is stubborn like dad and if he doesn't want to do it he won't, he is a cryer like mom, and when mixed with daddy temper it's like a bomb waiting to go off. 
He will try anything once, is adventuress, talented and as I learned last night he's got rhythm??? 
(No idea where that came from?)

As I spend the day celebrating 9 years of being this little mans mom, I think back and smile! Even on the worse of days, I can think back to when Dalton was 13 months old, he climbed out of his crib and decided he was going to join me in the shower...clothes an all!

I hope you never lose your enthusiasm, your adventurest way and never allow your aneixty stand in the way of reaching your goals....I'll love your forever!
