Honestly I never thought time would go by so fast. Parents always say it does and it is something you never understand till you have children. One day I will write about Wells’ birth story but suffice it to say it still feels like yesterday. Being his mother is such a privilege and watching him grow into a little man makes me beyond proud and breaks my heart at the same time. Who knew that was possible!<\/p>\n

On a lighter note, we celebrated with a party for all of his friends. We had it during the week because weekends during the summer are very busy.

I went more for a vintage theme.<\/p>\n

It was a great party with his friends. He enjoyed all the gifts. The most important part was how special he felt.\u00a0Happy Birthday Wellington! I love you to the moon and back and you will always be my newborn Bean.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
