He’s 5! He’s 5!! He’s 5 :-(
Yes, our little man is growing up. Explain to me, people, how that happened so dad gum fast.
Us in the NICU, freaking out (ok, so we don’t look freaked out here, that was the exhaustion mixed with happiness, with a dash of delirium) because his heart kept skipping a beat in utero. Lo and behold, though, an overnight stay in these first-class accommodations cleared up the abnormality and it’s never returned.
Let’s count backwards, shall we??

There is so much to love about John Paul – his laugh, his blue eyes, his mischief, his ER visits, his love for his brother and sisters, the way he says “free/three”, “actuwee” and “broder/brother”. I could fill a novel with just how much I love this kid.
John Paul, your life is a gift. Being your mom is an honor. It’s my wish that every family has a little John Paul in it…
Gotta love that little guy!
Oh my goodness… They do grow up too fast! What a beautiful family you have… Enjoy this special day!
Give him big hugs from us.
Happy Birthday John Paul! Hope you get to do lots of boy stuff!
What a handsome guy! I love seeing John Paul get bigger in each pic, but I also like seeing progression of the Whitaker clan! Pretty cool. Thanks for sharing, and we hope he had a great day!
It was a fantastic day. And as John Paul says, “I get another birthday on Saturday!” Ain’t it great to be 5? Thanks for all the well wishes!!
