Thirteen years ago today, my first and only baby was born at 2:55 p.m.

He was 7 pounds, 14.5 ounces, almost 21 inches long,

And oh so loved.

My itty bitty baby is now a teenager. He’s 100 pounds heavier and 45 inches taller. But he’s still loved very much.

We will celebrate four different times- our own little family, both sides with grandparents and family, and a friend party- by eating burgers & cheese curds, pasta (twice) and pizza, three different kinds of cake and some peanut butter pie.

Happy 13th birthday, Luke!
