It is quite the special day in Dylan Dreyer's household, not just with holiday celebrations, but also her oldest son's birthday.
The Today Show star is a doting mom to three boys; she has been married to Brian Fichera, who also works at NBC as a cameraman, producer and writer, since 2012, and the two share sons Calvin, seven, Oliver, three, and Russell or "Rusty," who recently turned two years old.
Now, as Calvin rang in his seventh birthday on December 17, the Misty the Cloud author reflected fondly on the moment she first became a mom.
Dylan took to Instagram Sunday and shared a sweet set of photos of Calvin through the years along with a heartfelt tribute to the birthday boy.
She first shared a photo of the very beginning, a snap where she is still pregnant and smiling ear to ear next to her husband Brian, who is giving an excited thumbs up to the camera.

Dylan however has also been candid about her son's recent challenges with food, after discovering Calvin has celiac disease, and therefore an intolerance to gluten.
The longtime NBC meteorologist has publicly documented her and Calvin's journey discovering gluten-free recipes, and told People earlier this year that he fortunately "has no more pains, no more headaches, no more stomach aches," after adopting a gluten-free diet.
