Miguel had a birthday.......

Shout HOORAY!!!

My big 5 year old!!

He is showing me his big 5 year old muscles...
ya know, he is much stronger now that he is 5.

We did lots of swimming!

Water slidin' with Aunt Teeny.

His Aunts got him hermit crabs...he was a little unsure at first...

but quickly warmed up to them.

Now, he plays with them all the time. They often take trips to the sandbox in the backyard.

lots more present opening.

and cake too.
and the day wouldn't be complete without a sleepover at grandma's!

We love our little Miguel. He is so full of life. He gets excited about everything. He has an amazing imagination which he uses to make up stories. He loves to learn about all kinds of creatures and loves to tell you all about them! He is fascinated by the human body. He got lots of "your body battles...." books for his birthday. Miguel is a great big brother! Gabe and Benji love him and are always following him around. Especially Gabe, he loves to copy everything Miguel does! Miguel gives hugs and kisses all the time. He loves to express his love for us all the time. He is the sweetest little man and we love having him in our family.
