Five makes him such a big kid. Gone is my little baby, and here sits a big boy with the personality to spare. I miss my little chubby blond boy who wanted nothing more than mommy to hold him, but oh how I love spending my days with this wonderful child.
He has an amazing artist touch, but only if it is his idea.
How handsome can one kid be? I personally believe he should be the new advertising model for Auburn University.
This was the year of wearing the batman costume, everywhere. I mean I know this picture is from Halloween, but really, he wore it almost everyday for six months.
He is our water child, with no fear of the water. Even when the temperature is frigidly uncomfortable for everyone else.
This is the year he fell in love with the Pacific Ocean when his brothers weren't so sure.
He would stay at the shore all day, every day, if only it were possible.
This was year of the broken arm, twice. Neither time did it slow him down a bit.
Kind, loving, giving, handsome, rough, loud, wild, smart, adventurous, fun, happy, emotional, expressive, and a pure JOY to watch grow and become the amazing person God intends him to be.
His daddy, when asked to describe him in one word said, "Lionhearted." Perfect. Because that is exactly who he is.
And because I'm his momma, you know I have to look back. I mean, what a beautiful baby. Oh, how the time has flown.
On turning 4. And 3. And 2. And 1. And meeting this precious boy.
