Christian is Five

So much to say about our firstborn boy! I can't believe he is already 5! It's amazing to think how fast the time has flown, but also such a sweet reminder that these years do pass quickly and that we need to treasure the small moments with our little ones! Christian is a kind-hearted, giving, affectionate, and lovable boy. He loves to play outside, set traps, pretend to fish and make "houses," dig in the dirt, and find earthworms. He also loves collections of things, and you will find cars lined up in his room, LEGO creations scattered about, as well as bits of paper, glued collages, and lots of "treasures" in his closet. He is still our little artiste and loves to draw pictures of his family and monsters, write letters, cut, glue, etc. Christian loves to explore, create, and hang out with Daddy! He is especially sweet to his younger brothers, giving lots of hugs, kisses, and attention to the littlest R baby. He started karate with Steve over a month ago, and is loving it! He is also attending Pre-K (yes, another year- he missed the cutoff for kindergarten by 2 days) on Tuesdays and Thursdays...he seems to enjoy it more this year. With another move this December and more changes to come, we look forward to seeing how Christian changes and grows this upcoming year! We love you Buddy!

At his well-check up in August Christian weighed 43.5 pounds putting him in the 71st percentile for weight, and was 43 inches tall, putting him in the 55th percentile for height.

"First Day of Pre-K!" He preferred his sign over mine. ;)

Nana came up on Christian's birthday to celebrate this big 5 year old!
