They do don’t they. A 6′2″ child that rarely lets me give him a kiss used to be glued to my side and say “Kiss me on the wips.”
November 10th, 2007 at 9:21 amOMG - were you like 12? You’re adorable! Oh, and the baby is cute too … !
November 10th, 2007 at 9:41 amHello,
November 10th, 2007 at 10:25 amSo, not to state the obvious but…. You have a teenager in the house! Wow!! Here in California its 6:20 and I have been up for a while read ling your archives and laughing so hard my whole bed and husband are shaking. Thank you!
That is my favorite pic of you. you just look so glowing and happy.
Happy 13th kiddo!
Welcome to the world of the teen.
November 10th, 2007 at 10:31 amCongratulations… but I think someone stole the photo… I think I saw it somewhere else!
You should put the “notes from the trenches” on it before someone else posts it again!
Here, here I found it!

Ha! I knew it!
November 10th, 2007 at 10:31 amAwww…. sweet little baby feet. Where did they go?
November 10th, 2007 at 10:42 amMy youngest child is 46 and I still see my baby in his eyes, and in the eyes of his brother and sister.
When I think of how many teenagers you will have at one time I say a little prayer for you because Boy! are you going to need it.
But we love them still.
I always think these milestone birthdays are really much more milestones for the moms. Congratulations on letting him live to see his teens! –Barb
November 10th, 2007 at 10:44 amYes, I have posted the photo before.
I no longer have a working scanner so I can’t get any new photos up on my hard drive. I suppose I could get out my external hard drive and hook it up, but the effort from doing that might just kill me.
November 10th, 2007 at 10:52 amHappy 13th!
We’re celebrating a 19th birthday here.
(Also my oldest.)
November 10th, 2007 at 11:09 amyour hair is so shiny and gorgeous, wow!
November 10th, 2007 at 11:12 amWhat a sweet picture. It’s amazing how time flies, isn’t it. Enjoy your special day (both of you!).
November 10th, 2007 at 11:18 am“In the blink of an eye” is so so true.
November 10th, 2007 at 11:26 amI say you quit blinking.
we’re celebrating a 24th birthday today. a blink of an eye? no truer words.
November 10th, 2007 at 12:12 pmVery sweet, both of you. Good luck with the whole teen thing!!
November 10th, 2007 at 12:27 pmThirteen already? Holy cow. I’ve been reading your blog for that long?
November 10th, 2007 at 12:35 pmWow, how lovely (and so totally young) you look! Isn’t it amazing how it feels like fly is just flying by and then somedays bedtime can’t (and won’t ) come soon enough?!
Enjoy your teenager. (laugh, laugh, snicker, wink…)
November 10th, 2007 at 12:36 pmAwww- I do recall this picture, and love it.
A teenager! I am two years away from it - NOT BLINKING, NOT BLINKING!
HAPPY 13th Birthday ~ to your dear son!
November 10th, 2007 at 12:42 pmUnbelievable how time flies right by us! Mine “babies” are 43 and 38 this year . . . hmmmmm. . . better stop blinking! Happy Birthday, big guy. Be good to and respect your mom!
November 10th, 2007 at 12:50 pmLove this picture and look forward to your adventures with your young teen who is just a couple of years ahead of my son. (Another way to ’scan’ a photo is to just take a photograph of it and upload the photo!)
November 10th, 2007 at 1:25 pmHappy Birthday!
November 10th, 2007 at 1:25 pmGratz on being the mom of a teenager.

And gratz to him on his birthday!

November 10th, 2007 at 1:38 pmYou were such a baby yourself! Happy birthday to your son!
November 10th, 2007 at 1:44 pmMy oldest will be turning 14 in March and I still don’t think I’ve recovered from 13!
November 10th, 2007 at 1:51 pmTime does fly. Congratulations! And Happy Birthday to the new teen
Happy birthday!!! Be nice to your mama today, ya rotten teen.
November 10th, 2007 at 1:56 pmYou look so young!!!!!!!!
November 10th, 2007 at 2:15 pmHappy Birthday to the teen! Chris, you are one hot mama!

November 10th, 2007 at 2:48 pmMy oldest turns 9 years old tomorrow. 9. I can barely believe it. I am already starting to cry. I mean, seriously. That means in 9 more years, I can legally kick her butt out of the house! Who wouldnt cry tears of joy about that? Not really. I just sit here and think, 9 years ago today, I wasnt a mother yet. I had a big belly, but I wasnt a momma yet. How much things have changed.
November 10th, 2007 at 3:14 pmWow, you were just a baby! What a sweet picture.
And happy birthday, oldest boy.
Blessings of patience on your head, Chris.
November 10th, 2007 at 3:24 pmLook at the scrunchie on your wrist… so 1994.
November 10th, 2007 at 3:50 pmYou look about 13 yourself in this photo.
Aack! I’m about 7 months from mine being a teenager too! Don’t you agree that every time you look at them, they’ve changed? Did they look that grown-up last week?
November 10th, 2007 at 4:03 pmIs that a scrunchie on your wrist??
Such a beautiful picture of you both.
November 10th, 2007 at 4:17 pmYou should print a few copies and leave them
in his drawers, toys, pants pockets etc. The agony he’ll have
will give you such pleasure.
Happy birthday!
And you do look just adorable.
November 10th, 2007 at 5:14 pmI hate it when that happens. Really hate it. Happy birthday to you both.
November 10th, 2007 at 5:20 pmHappy Birthday to your big guy!
What are you 25 now????
(ftr, I see a ton of little Miles in you)
November 10th, 2007 at 5:57 pmOK, you still look 12. The baby had him some big feet. Such a darling pic.
November 10th, 2007 at 6:39 pmHappy 13th! Wow, it’s already been a whole year since you posted that picture…
November 10th, 2007 at 8:47 pmHappy birthday #1!
My oldest will be 20 in 7 days. Oh my gah.
Oh, scrunchies. I think I had one in every print/color. You hair in that photo is gorgeous.
November 10th, 2007 at 11:02 pmMy oldest son was born one year and one day later. Amazing, isn’t it?
November 11th, 2007 at 12:26 amI know you’ve had people ask how you’ve convinced your husband to have more, but I’d really like to to know. I just want one, maybe two, more… You don’t have to give it all away, just a Little bit!
Suzanne
I’m only two and a half years behind you…
And have mercy, Chris, did you give birth to him when you were 12?
November 11th, 2007 at 12:45 amI think it’s really funny that both this year and last year, people commented, “what, are you like 12?” LOL You do look very young!!
Happy 13th anniversary of becoming a mother.
November 11th, 2007 at 1:47 amHappy birthday Satchel!
November 11th, 2007 at 2:17 amplease, oh pretty please, add this photo to the Not Ready for Prime Time: Before We Were Bloggers flickr group.
also, I see now how much your blonde son favors you. uncanny.
November 11th, 2007 at 9:47 amThis is a very beautiful picture!
November 12th, 2007 at 4:34 pmI’ve got one of those too! I love that he’s a teenager…I love that he loves girls…I love that he loves music…I love that he loves sports…I love that he loves his Mom! Here’s to the two of us who love our boys!
November 12th, 2007 at 8:05 pmI know - I can’t believe my oldest turned 14, yesterday - and I hear it only goes faster. Which, if you have a teenager, may be a good thing. Happy Birthday to the both of you ;o)
November 13th, 2007 at 1:57 pmBeautiful picture and you are right.
November 18th, 2007 at 5:42 pmSo funny. That’s the name of my blog.
