Age 7

Our oldest is 7 today! 7 years have passed since I was first given a little 7lb 14 oz blue bundle. I remember certain parts of that day so clearly its as if they happened minutes ago, others are cloudy and I am sure there is a ton that I don't remember at all. Our adventure had started at that moment when the nurse handed him to me. He was our everything in that moment. We had our up and downs being new parents, but we did our best, heck we are still trying to do our best with every new challenge. J is amazing, he tests us daily and makes us love him. He is so creative, always creating with a pencil, play dough, Lego, words or anything he can get his hands on. His imagination is astounding always thinking and creating. Now that hew is almost done gr 1 he is creating stories with what he has learned. There is always paper laying around, play dough or Lego structures, piles and piles of drawings. He lets us know he loves us by needing us so much, he loves to snuggle, hold hands and hug. He has the biggest Blue eyes that I have ever seen. Puppy dog eyes have nothing on J's eyes, Bluer than the sky, and well up with tears making your heart drop out of your chest when he is sick or upset. His appetite is great, however he is super picky. Choosing burgers or Mac n Cheese over ANYTHING. He loves his teacher to pieces. His favorite thing to do right now is to sit in his desk and create. He loves to make up new games to play with his brother and sister. He loves to wear long sleeve shirts under his t shirts. He is so tall and skinny I have a heck of a time finding him pants that fit him. Rex is his cat and you can tell. When j needs him he is there and vise versa. Rex is often found in J's bed (top bunk)Being a little artist he will tell you he loves a different color everyday but if you make him choose between anything and blue he'll choose blue all the time. He looks a lot like Mom, same face shape, nose, complexion, but had daddy's eyes, and shape, and daddy's build. We love him to pieces!!! Happy 7th Birthday buddy!
