Happy 5th Birthday ANTONIO!!

Today was Prince Antonio's 5th birthday! I just can not believe my baby is 5! Where does the time go?? Five years ago today was one of the BEST days of my life. My first born son was brought into this world at 12:18pm. He was 8lbs 11oz and 20in long! He was the most beautiful thing my eyes have ever seen. I never knew true love until he came along. He has changed my life and I just do not know what I would do with out him. There is nothing I would not do for him. He is my bestest little friend. He keeps me going. I can NEVER be sad when he is around because he ALWAYS puts a smile on my face. He is always making me and his daddy laugh and filling our hearts with joy. He is my sunshine and the reason I am the wonderful person I am today. I am so proud of him. He is so smart and gorgeous. God could not have created a more perfect child for us. Our love. Our heart. Our everything. Antonio Thomas.

Antonio has his 5 year old checkup on the 10th and I will then update with all of his wonderful stats and milestones!

We celebrated Antonio's birthday today at our local fall festival. We had a great time eating hot dogs and popcorn and goodies, playing games and winning prizes and jumping in the jump house! Antonio got to pick whatever he wanted for dinner and he chose pizza and garlic knots. He got his gifts from Grandma and Grandpa; Mommy and Daddy and Nani and Pop-Pop.

The following photo was taken 5 years ago when Antonio was first born. Look at what a beautiful blessing he was:

And here is my gorgeous baby last night sleeping with the birthday hat he got from school:And some photos from today:

A beautiful song I dedicated to Antonio when he was born:
MIRACLE
By: Celine Dion

You're my life's one miracle
Everything I've done that's good
And you break my heart with tenderness
And I confess it's true
I never knew a love like this 'til you

You're the reason I was born
Now I finally know for sure
And I'm overwhelmed with happiness
So blessed to hold you close
The one that I love most
Though the future has so much for you in store
Who could ever love you more?

The nearest thing to heaven
You're my angel from above
Only God creates such perfect love

When you smile at me I cry
And to save your life I'd die
With a romance that is pure in heart
You are my dearest part
Whatever it requires
I live for your desires
Forget my own, your needs will come before
Who could ever love you more?

There is nothing you could ever do
To make me stop loving you
And every breath I take
Is always for your sake
You sleep inside my dreams
And know for sure
Who could ever love you more?


We are so blessed to have a son like you...
you bring joy to our life year after wonderful year.
May your day be filled with laughter
on this, your special day...
And may the finest things in life
always come your way.
Happy Birthday to the most precious 5 year old we know!
Love Mommy and Daddy
