June is my son's birth month.
Born on Father's Day, 6 weeks early, 45 min labour. Bam.... welcome to the world.
Despite his small size, he never slipped below his birth weight as most new born do, just small steady increases until we brought him home.
We would have had numerous children, that was our plan, apparently our plan was not the plan. So we have two. A beautiful, independent daughter, and this precious little boy.
My son is identical to his father. And his father to his father. Three generations of almost clones. In pictures at the same age, they are identical. Tow headed blue eyed cuties..
Relatives say , I can't believe my eyes, he looks just like , he sounds just like, he behaves just like....(grandpa or dad)
And soon my boy will be 12, moving on to middle school .
Sigh..................I'm getting sucky. I don't want my baby to be 12.

wow fast labor! You must have been scared that he was born early though. I totally relate with not wanting them to grow any older to soon. Semes that every year the year goes by faster. My eldest son is a clone of his grandfather on my husbands side. Same exact comments I get from people. My youngest is the exact clone of his father. Very neat.

Yeah but what a twelve year-old he is going to be. From everything you have said, I gather him to be a smart, strongminded boy who knows and loves his mother very much. He will make an amazing man won't he?
