My "baby" is now 5 and fits on a 20" bike.

5 years old. 

already you are able to fit onto a 20" bike. You went from being swaddled, to playing in an "exersaucer", to a ride-on toddler-style toy, to a tricycle and now to this....

Where does the time go? 

Your daddy is beginning to see more of himself in you and it shows. 

Your entire birthday was full of giggles and smiles and if you can believe it, Natalie was extremely good to you on this day (despite making us believe that she'd spend your entire birthday in time-out). 

I think she understands that it's more fun to sit back and watch you have fun. Getting chocolate coins helps too, of course. 

Your sister loves you so much and even helped us make your birthday cake. 

And speaking of sweet, delicious birthday cake here is James enjoying the last few hours of his birthday..  (after this we went driving around with Aunt Jen ooohing and aahhhing over Christmas lights in the neighborhood).

Happy Birthday to the most sweet-natured, caring, funny, and easygoing boy. We are so lucky to have you in our lives.
