Five Already?

Can it be that my second lovie is FIVE?? Andrew has been counting down to this birthday for a while now, he is super excited!

Andrew was my biggest baby (8lbs 4oz) and when he came out with dark hair and blue eyes, I couldn't believe my luck!

He never had a bottle his whole life, just breast fed until he was about one. He also never had a pacifier, he was my only thumb sucker. The boy just preferred flesh to silicone, and who can blame him?

He started crawling at 6.5 months, and walked at 9.5 months - by far our earliest!! Andrew had a milk allergy and needed ear tubes around 16 months old. That was when he finally started to hear us clearly, and with the help of speech therapy was able to say more than just "Daditch" (his word for everything).

He was a typical crazy toddler boy that has grown into a typical crazy big boy:)

Here's his past birthdays in pictures:

And here he is now:

Still my handsome little devil!!

Andrew, you amaze me every day with your sparkling eyes, your reading prowess, the way you remember EVERYTHING, your passion for life, how you stopped sucking your thumb cold turkey, your swimming abilities, and your love of our family. We love you so much, and hope you have an amazing birthday!
