Kory's 5!!

Today is Kory's 5th birthday! We can't believe how fast he is growing. This is the first picture ever taken of Kory! In fact...this is the first time I saw him(well besides a few seconds before they took him away). Because he was born three weeks early, and in Cheyenne, he had to go to the NICU for a couple days. He was delivered c-section due to his acrobatics in the womb. While I was recovering in one room, he was in another. However, the family that was watching Tyler and Kyle came to the hospital and took this picture for me so I could see our little man!! I remember just crying because I wanted to hold him. A few hours later I was allowed to get up and go see him. He was so small and helpless(our smallest at 5lbs. 14 oz), but he made it here safe and sound. And look at him today! 5 years later!! He's full of personality! Such a sweetheart!! He wants to be a chef when he grows up and loves to help me cook. I enjoy that time we have together. We LOVE his big brown eyes, cute little dimple, and hysterical giggle! Kory has a quiet side, but when he thinks something is funny and gets the giggles one can't help but smile. It's such an innocent fun sound!

Sunday night my mom planned a party for him with all the Peterson side of the family. He told Mammy he wanted a "chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, lemon, everything cake." I wondered what she was going to do, but she pulled it off and he LOVED it! He got all kinds of gifts from his cousins/aunt/uncles/mammy/grandpa and LOVES everyone of them. Thanks everyone! Today, Monty and I took him out to lunch and tonight we are going to Dave and Busters for a few arcade games. Afterward Nana is bring home pizza and a cake. We sure love you Kory! Happy 5th birthday!!
