Brady Turns 5!

Our little boy turns 5 today & we can hardly believe it...I know it's a cliche' but it truly seems like yesterday we were in the hospital snuggling our little one, memorizing every feature and soaking up his newborn smell & soft skin.  Brady has been such a blessing to us since day one.  He is an incredibly loving, and KIND little boy & we are so proud of him.  He is a wonderful big brother and he is a wonderful son.  I love our lazy breakfasts and I love checking in on him every night before I go to bed and giving him a kiss while he's sleeping. He & Daddy are best buds & still love their epic wrestling matches, light saber wars & watching sports together! He adores his little sister and he takes very good care of his mama.

There have been a lot of "firsts" over this last year...he learned to swim, saw the ocean for the first time, and played on his first team in t-ball.  He had his first surgery (tonsils, adenoids, tubes in), he learned to ski,  and he enjoyed swimming in the lake at the cabin & had his first real Yellowstone adventure!  It has been such a great year & has been so much fun watching him grow & transition from a toddler to a little boy.

I know that we aren't supposed to be sad when our babies grow up but I have tears streaming down my face just thinking about how fast these 5 years have gone.  So many fun memories to be made in the years ahead but for today I'm reflecting on the last 5 perfect ones.
