Happy Birthday!

You entered our life, our world, our hearts 4 years ago. My heart doubled in size that day. It has not been the same ever since, and we are so lucky and grateful to be your parents. Some days it’s a huge challenge but there are certainly no dull days! The other day I bought a t-shirt for you, it says “Center of the Universe” on it. I think it is rather true; you are the center of our universe and cannot imagine life otherwise.

Here you were at almost 20 weeks (they call it gestation), all curled up inside Mama’s tummy:

A few minutes after you arrived in this world:

Your first birthday was celebrated with Mama, Baba, Porpor and Gonggong (Mama’s parents). You had just learned to “walk” and was eager to go lots of places:

Your second birthday, where you requested a Thomas the Train birthday cake, with just you, Mama & Baba. And received one of your biggest presents: a train table!

Your 3rd birthday was so much fun! You had lots of helium balloons, which you and your little sister, Fiona, eventually released all into the blue sky where one almost hit a helicopter.

And today, you are turning 4. You have anticipated it for so long and talked about it for so long. It has finally arrived. I hope all of your dreams and wishes comes true (I think one of them involves eating lots of chocolates?!) :) Your Yehyeh and Marhmarh (Baba’s parents) are here to celebrate it with you; the first birthday that they are with you. It is a beautiful day. Your day. Happy Birthday Dear Sebastian. Here you are licking the frostings off the cake decorations. Life is delicious.

Much Love,
Mama

    Happy Birthday! He was born just a week before my Samuel was. So his cake this year had cars on it?

    Such cute pictures.
