My daughter is 21 this year so I might just borrow your idea

I agree – he was 10 when me and hubs got married, and then just a year later we were off to Orlando for the first time – looking back (back in 2011) it was astounding the change in him!! I’m very proud of him – he has his moments, but he’s generally a good kid! xx

He did! Although, came home earlier than I thought he would – I shouldn’t complain though right?! thank you – he’ll always be my blue eyed boy xx

What a great idea of the cake photos! Would look great as a photo montage on the wall!!

It’s always great to look back at photos, so many memories xx

Oh gosh! I’ll be tearing my hair out when he wants to learn to drive…my mum always said the hardest part about being a mum is letting them fly! xx

Tell me about it! You kinda don’t realise how much they grown until you look back! x

Amazing pictures and some fab birthday parties :) x

I loved seeing how the birthday cakes changed too over the years! I’m planning to have a cake snap for my little girl’s birthday each year so when she is 18 we can embarrass her and put them all on display ;)

Sounds like he had a good time! As a mum of a 16 yr old boy I agree it gets harder and you worry more! I cannot believe that mine will be able to learn to drive in 8 months time – eeek!

I think the biggest change was between 10 and 11, he sort of went from looking like a “boy” to looking like a “teen/young man” and isn’t he a looker now, you must be proud!

Happy Birthday to your, not so small anymore, blue eyes boy

He came home just as I was finishing up this post and about to publish. He looked through it and smiled whilst he remembered! x

It is crazy to see how much they grow – you don’t realise it at the time! I am so proud of my boy! Old fashioned parties are awesome – and it was always nice that the other mums thought so too – made a change from this crazy world we live in now where kids feel forced to grow up quick! x

It was fun to look back through them – wish I had the gap years on the computer to share, but they’re all boxed up somewhere! x

Thank you! I don’t know many 15 year olds so can’t tell if he looks older than 15!! It just flies right by doesn’t it? I’m glad I kept a memory of his birthdays – they’re always fun to look back on! x

I can’t believe I’ve got a 15 year old!!! When I look back at the photos from when he was a baby, through to a toddler, little boy and now a young man it just makes me happy and sad at the same time! I know time can’t sit still, but just to have some of those times back when he was a bubba would be awesome! x

Awww! Time does go super fast – live in the moment because it’s gone in a flash. But look back fondly at the memories that have been made as they are to be treasured forever xx

I’m 37 (had him when I was 22) I guess, back then (omg, when did I start sound old!) it was fairly young. Lots of friends I went to school with are only just having babies now! Thank you for your kind words xx

I knew those dreaded words (for me at least!) “can I go out with my mates” would come one day – they can’t be babies forever *sobs* x

Thank you :) When I am able to look back at all these photographs, I am so glad I took lots! x
