Fantastic FIVE!

Bradley you are FIVE years old today!!! We can hardly believe that this time next year you will be half way thru kindergarten. Here are a few stats about you right now.

You still weigh right around 40 pounds, give or take a pound or two at times. You are very thin, but very tall, still at 42 inches tall, which puts you in the 52nd percentile for weight and 60th for height. On your good days, you eat really well, but there are those days where you only snack which is normal. We are very pleased with your skull shape and how your head seems to continue in a good pattern. Your body is slowing catching your head size and we anticipate it only getting better as your body grows.

You had a small party at E's house on your birthday with E, Epaw, and Trevor! 

Then after getting home you had another party with us. You were very excited to blow the candle out yet again. These cupcakes I made for you to take to school the next day to celebrate your birthday with your friends and made a few extra for us to celebrate with at home. After I made them all, you informed me that you no longer like icing, at all. Noted for future reference.

I LOVE this picture of you sweet boy. You look so grown up.
Then it was time to rip into presents.

 A mickey mouse movie!

 The Mickey Mouse rocket ship that you have had your eyes on for a long time. The ages on it were way below you, but you asked for it so many times, I had to get it.

 You were soon having rocket blast-off's all thru the house and it was a joy to see you so
happy with it.

 After much more playing and bath time, the Grinch came on tv and it was snuggle up time.
A perfect ending to your birthday, even Runtley agreed.

(I had to post it again just because)

Happy Happy 5th Birthday Bradley! 

We all love you so much and are so grateful God blessed us with you! You are a firecracker and always have something to say, always. Your language comprehension amazes us all and you are constantly saying very big words and using them correctly. You are very smart and academically inclined. You know how to read some small words and love figuring out what letters words start and end with. You can add a lot of single digit math problems, and love practicing writing your letters every day. You can write your name really well in all caps, and are working now on lower case letters. You are doing really well in your new preschool this year and you seem to have made some good friends.

We are so proud of you and the little boy that you have become, you will always be our miracle baby and we will never, ever forget what God has done in your life and can only imagine what else He has in store for you.
