5 years ago!

Oh this sweet boy has melted our hearts since the moment we first laid eyes on him. I can barely remember life before him, and yet can not believe he is already one whole hand in years. I remember being 5 and feeling so big. In some ways it is scary to me now that he has reached an age where he will recall his own memories and experiences one day.


This is photo number 44.  It struck me as funny seeing this.  5 years later we easily have a few thousand... 
 
 
 I could easily flip through web albums of our littles and their experiences all day long...
 
 
This was his second time meeting great papa...right at 6 months old!
 

 
 Today, Bennett went to visit Dr. Cumming for his 5 year old check-up.  He did a fantastic job of withstanding 3 shots in preparation for kindergarten next year.  And for the record...he is now over 40 inches tall and weighs 37 pounds.
 
 
First birthday fun with balloons!  I remember taking him out for pizza on his first birthday - it fell on a Friday - I think it was much more of a celebration for mom and dad...thinking back to this day one year ago! 
 
And some of my favorite memories...

 
 Handsome boy!
 
 
Funny boy at the apple orchard...


Didn't want to wait too long to get him a seat at Nick's!
 

 
ZooBoo with his cousins!  The timing was perfect for a day out with family while mom and dad stayed home with his brand new baby sister.
 

 
...melts my heart - our babies!
 
 
...arriving to Disney in his Woody jammies!
 
 
...exploring the beaches of southern Georgia!

 
...taking care of his "baby!"
 

...lots of learnning and growing in JK!
 

 
...bringing Teddy along everyday as a little security in his new, big world!
 
 
...always wanting to have fun and conspire with his cousins! 
 

...more beach fun in sunny Florida!
 

 
...exploring museums! 
 
 
..."Super Bennett" pose?

 
...our handsome boy at five!
 
 
...muscle pose with his birthday party friends!

 
...blowing out that candle.  For us, that expression says it all!
 
We love you to the moon and back sweet boy!!
