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.
The doting mom followed the throwback with adorable photos of Calvin, one at their coastal vacation home, another where he is sitting alongside his two younger brothers, plus a glimpse into the family's celebrations, which included a gluten-free birthday cake decorated with pink frosting and loads of rainbow sprinkles.
"7 years ago, I became a mom!" Dylan wrote in her caption, before reflecting: "It was a wild night and now our little Cal is the leader of our pack."

I love watching you cook with your mom!" as others followed suit with: "Such a beautiful family," and: "All adorable… Happy Birthday Cal… I bet one day you will become the best chef on this planet," as well as: "Cal is so full of personality!! Happy birthday!!" plus another one of her followers endearingly added: "You should be proud! You have 3 wonderful sons!!"

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.
