Happy Birthday, C.J.!!!

Yesterday was C.J.'s third birthday, and we celebrated with family and friends! Over the last three years, we have watched our little fella grow in humor as he has a way of always keeping us laughing. Three years ago on December 19, 2007, our lives changed forever .... in more ways than we would ever know at that time! He couldn't wait to come out, arriving at almost 37 weeks. The first year of life was a trying one as we tried to figure out what was making him so sick. It was a constant battle of not being able to eat, not growing and not gaining any weight. Then, once we diagnosed his Celiac disease, life has been a breeze for our little guy! But, now, we have a very healthy, happy, energetic, curious, fun and exciting three year old little guy. He keeps us laughing all the time with his adorable personality, keeps us on our toes with his boundless energy and keeps us wrapped around his little finger with his curly haired quirkiness!

Yesterday, at the party, C.J. was surrounded by our closest family and friends to celebrate him turning three! We had a wonderful time just visiting, eating cake, opening presents and enjoying the company.
