Full of charm.
Overflowing with antics.
Wants to be a “doctor, firefighter, policeman, EVERYTHING, mom”

Somehow our best guy turned FOUR this weekend.

#SullivanJamesSwann you live life like no one else. We adore you and the *very* important role you play in our family. Here’s to another year of you brightening our world like only you can do!

 

 


 

This past weekend, we got to celebration 4 Years of Sullivan James.  Gosh celebrating him is easy.

He is sweet, mindful, charming, “wilded up because I slept all night in my bed, mama” and a million other things.

But mostly, he is ours.

The best brother to his sisters – even if it’s a 50/50 shot for him to admit it.

The little guy who watches and adores his dad.

The best boy who still holds my hand and says “I wubbb you, mama!”

 

Each new birthday is a milestone… a marker of things I don’t want to forget —

  • This is the year he finally grew into his cheeks and it’s a little heartbreaking how grown up he looks now.
  • He feels things and says things with his whole being.  Happy? You’ll find Sully flopping every limb with glee.  Sad? He’s melted in a puddle on the floor.
  • Still a fish – he has everyone wrapped around his finger at swim lessons, the gym.. well, pretty much life in general.
  • This is the year he first road on an airplane and has asked to go back to “Tutah” (aka Utah) almost weekly since.
  • Every afternoon when he came down from quiet time, he would beckon down the stairs as he pattered, “Good morningggggg, mama.” This was a daily occurrence until Morgan corrected that it was afternoon.  “Good apppterrnoooon, mama” is the new jig and it’s evening cuter than the last.

A different mom would maybe remember to log how tall you are or are big you’ve grown…  I just want to remember who you are.

Happy birthday sweet boy.  I love you endlessly!

Enjoy a peek at celebrating this little cutie’s year and his FOUR wheeler birthday. xx

Wife, mama, wielder of light & joy, and capturer of moments.  I thrive off of conversation and genuine connection.  In between wrangling our kiddos, and hanging my husband, you'll find me dreaming up my next idea or creative endeavour.  It's these things that culminate to give my imagery a warmth and joy to them - the greatest compliment I could receive.

I was pretty nervous about being photographed and Lauren made everything fun and flexible. Honestly, I can't imagine the day without her and her team. They were wonderful and hearing from Lauren was always a genuine delight.
