1st Birthday |
Maben was always a very sweet baby and is an even sweeter and more thoughtful boy.
Those chunky cheeks didn't last near long enough!
2nd Birthday |
Maben has always marched the beat of his own drum. While most children want a cake with the biggest Disney character of the time, Maben has always chose otherwise, as seen here with his fruit covered cheesecake.
3rd Birthday |
His third birthday, he tried and tried to blow those candles out and I think he just managed to blow raspberries, but it was so cute! He is a very persistent and determined child.
4th Birthday |
He hasn't always been a ham for the camera, but the older he gets, the more he wants to be behind it. He loves to take photos just like his momma.
5th Birthday |
That penguin! I both love and hate that penguin. Maben was insistent that he wanted a penguin cake. No one, and I mean NO ONE (I went to 10 different stores) looking for someone that would make a penguin cake, I went to even more stores just to find a toy penguin that I could put on a cake. The boy knows what he wants and it's not usually what everyone else wants. I admire that so much about him. He likes what he likes and isn't influenced by what others like.
As he turns six today, I hope more than anything that he maintains his uniqueness, compassion and his want for learning. I hope I have at least one more year of hugs in front of his friends, because I know that will soon come to an end. Happy birthday baby! I hope year six is a great one.
