Camden Boos Is FIVE!

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…
