My Biggest Boy: Camden Boos
Five years ago today, Monday,
January 7, 2008, in Los Angeles, California- I was preparing to check into the
hospital. Daddy and I had waited such a
long time and we were both so anxious to meet You: Our very first baby!
You were supposed to be born
on January 3rd, but had decided to stay cozy in my belly as long as
possible.
Mommy’s doctor: Dr. Adhoot,
said it was time to bring our sweet miracle into the world, so Your Daddy and I
made sure our bags were packed and we began our drive to Burbank’s St. Joseph’s
Hospital.
I still remember this day so
vividly: moments turned to hours and hours turned into the next day…
January 8, 2008…the night You
were placed in my arms for the first time- the instant my Life became
complete!
Because You felt so safe and
sound in my belly, and did not want to enter the world on Your own; Dr. Adhoot
said it was time to help You arrive.
I remember EVERYTHING! The
excitement I felt, the fears that I would not know how to care for and give You
what you needed, your first cry, our
first mommy and son kiss, the love I
have for Your Daddy and the beauty that encompasses the Miracle of Life!
From the second I held You, I
knew YOU…like the missing piece of my Life’s puzzle had finally been found- and
to this day, I cannot believe how blessed I am to be Camden Jon Weber’s Mommy!
How is it that five years
have passed so quickly?
I know I keep asking You to
stop growing so fast…but it’s because I’m trying to savor not just all of Your milestones- but even the smallest miniscule moments that
create the storybook of Your Life!
You’ve grown from a small
“teeny tiny lookalou” with jet black hair and super dark skin, to a basketball
fanatic toddler with blond ringlet curls and chubby cheeks, to my handsome big
boy who is obsessed with all things that have wheels and with a laugh that
gifts all of those around You such joy!
Although I am so enjoying all
of your stages and ages, it’s hard, as your mama, to say that you’re not a baby
anymore!
At present, You have become a
little man who knows exactly what he wants- without a doubt!
You’ve inherited determination
and strong will from me- so I fully understand when You have Your melt downs!
I have a feeling that we will
have many struggles as You grow into a man, but I vow that I will always do
right by You- even when You don’t like me very much at the time.
The way You love is so
beautiful…simple yet with extreme feeling and passion for your age.
You are verbal in Your
feelings…hopes…and needs and I so love those qualities in You!
Watching my growing son open
doors for ladies and hearing You speak YOUR truths are endless reminders that
Your growing up to be a True Gentleman…
Your Great Grandaddy Ben
would be so proud!
Most of all, getting to
experience and share in the bond that You have created with Dashy is a dream
come true! May you both always stay as close as these years!
There simply aren’t enough
words in the world to capture or describe how much I love You, my Camden!
Mama’s life was forever
better the day I met you and it’s been a growing story of love, happiness, and
family ever since!
Thank You for being the most
fun, sweet, silly, sassy, loving, caring, and yes…even strong willed…big boy
ever!
You are my sunshine, my only
sunshine
You make me happy when skies
are grey
You’ll never know dear, “I so
much love you”,
Please don’t take my sunshine
away!
Happy 5th Birthday Camden Boos!!
You will always and forever
be my “Teeny Tiny Lookalou”!!
Love Love Love…
