MY BABY IS 5 !!!!!!!

how does a kid go from this.....




to this.....


in the blink of an eye?






happy 5th birthday, jax. you are such a great son.

you are so compassionate. anytime anyone is in need of some "loves" you are the first one to reach out to make them feel all better.

you are so smart. you can sound out lots of different words, write your name on paper, along with boomer, mama, daddy, nana, cat and numerous other words you sound out on your own! you can count to 100 by tens, and know LOTS about dinosaurs (which may or may not be thanks to dinosaur train on PBS)

you are a great teacher. you love to teach your little brother all the things you know. good and bad, but we will take what we can get.

you are a great helper. you are always excited to have a job to do. you can feed molly, help with the dishes in and out of the dishwasher, clean up a spill, wash windows, and get your own drink from the fridge.

you have a great imagination. you are a storyteller, you will rant about a made up past life when YOU were a baby kitty and daddy was your kid and you lived in the jungle. or play pretend with your stuffed animals (aka: team, friends, kids)

you are a great dancer. whenever mr.roboto comes on, you daddy and boomer bust out your robot moves. you love to "breakdance" which mostly consists of jump kicks and spins on your tush at this point.

you are a gentleman. so far daddy has taught you well. you open doors for mama, help out around the house, kill spiders and let bugs out of the house. say please and thank you most all of the time without being reminded, and know how to let a woman know she is beautiful.

you are like your mama in these ways... you are shy at first when meeting someone new, but once you are out of your shell WATCH OUT!! you are a bit of a homebody (we'll work on breaking that one together) you are cautious, you'd rather be safe than sorry, and it takes a little coercing to get you to try something you're leary of. you love animals. your snuggles, hugs and kisses are passed out freely.

you are like daddy in these ways... you are curious and a natural born engineer. you would take apart every toy you own if we let you, just to see how it works. you are very smart and catch onto things VERY quickly. you are a gentleman, good to all the women in your life. you are independent. you are super goofy, you and daddy have some GREAT faceoffs, and your not afraid to have fun and let loose.

you are a rough and tumble, not afraid to get dirty, bug catching, bike riding, train loving BOY.

i love you more than a fishy loves water, more than the stars love the sky, more than you'll ever know!!! you are growing into such a wonderful boy and i'm so proud to be your mama. happy 5th birthday my love bug!!
