While another trip around the son wasn’t a surprise, Dylan confessed she doesn’t know where the time has gone.

“Happy Birthday to my sweet little guy who snuggles like no one else and loves getting lost in his own little world. I’d love to spend a day in your brain. I can’t believe you’re 5!! I love you so much!!”

On New Year’s Day, Dylan revealed that rather than sitting back to relax after the hectic holidays, she was creating a cake for the birthday boy.

“I mean, what do you want to do after 2 weeks of overindulging in everything sweet???” Dylan asked fans. “Make a homemade sugary sweet Bluey birthday cake of course! Anything for you Ollie!!”

The family looked like they had a wonderful celebration for Ollie who was beaming in the photos.

It’s a busy time of year for Dylan and her family. December 1 marks Brian’s birthday followed by Calvin’s big day on December 17.

Dylan and Brian adore parenthood but endured a rollercoaster journey to have a second child. 

They struggled to conceive after Calvin was born and also suffered a miscarriage.

The couple were about to start IVF when they were told they no longer needed the process.

“I was just waiting for the phone call from Dr. Reichman, to tell me how much of each drug to use,” Dylan said. “Instead, when he called, he said, ‘Well, you can’t start IVF because you’re already pregnant!’ We were in complete shock. We couldn’t believe it.”

Dylan has raised awareness about secondary infertility and also stressed how couples shouldn’t feel guilty for wanting another child when others struggle to conceive one. 

“This is something you need more awareness of,” she said on the TODAY show.  “There’s this guilt that you have for wanting a second child when I have friends of my own who couldn’t have a single child.

“So here I am being ‘selfish’ that I want to have a second child and it’s like, no, that is not the case. This is our world.”

She added: “My sadness doesn’t take away from anyone else’s happiness and my sadness isn’t minimized because someone else has a sadder situation.”
