Happy Birthday Noah

Noah, I have grown so much through being your mama.

Noah was born on a beautiful, sunny day three years ago, and we were all absolutely "chuffed to pieces" in Harv's words, to welcome him to our family. He has come a long, long way since that day. He was born with a bilateral cleft lip and palate, which we were expecting from his antenatal scan, and a tummy problem which needed surgery, which rather blind-sided us. I wrote about that here.
So, he taught me a lot about strength, resiliance, and looking for the goodness and happiness in every moment. (Okay I don't always remember to, but I learned to.)
Check out his jouney from then to today. It's been hard occasionally, the first year in particular, but we have had SO much fun too.

















Happy birthday my sweet boy.
