Happy birthday, buddy! You're such a big kid now. As we saw "5" approaching, you seemed to get older by the second. And you certainly didn't let us forget the number: all your clothes have to be 5T, you yearn to swim in the 5 ft. end of the pool, and your naptime can only last a maximum of 5 minutes (and that's just cause you don't want Silas to feel bad about the fact that he actually has to fall asleep still).

You've grown up so fast! We are so proud of you and the young man you're becoming - so responsible, loving and thoughtful. You're the best big brother a little brother could have, and you're teaching Silas how to treat the baby that's on the way. We can't wait to see what this next year holds!
