Hayes, this sixth year of your life has definitely been a year of growth. Physically, you are getting to be such a big boy. Nothing in your closet from last year fits.
You've got a way with legos. The creations you come up with continue to amaze me.
Your little quirks may just be my favorite thing about you.
You are determined to be a bachelor when you grow up. All things girl, marriage and kissing are gross. But just between you and me... I know you still like getting kisses from your mama. :)
If your shoes are not tied in the appropriate double knot, you. freak. out.
I hope I can take you to Rhode Island someday. For some reason, you fancy that little state.
Your jumping jacks are killer.
I feel like this past year of your life has also been quite the change for me, as your mom. It seems I've crossed over into the land of having a big kid. It's almost more than my heart can take. I look back at your baby pictures and my eyes fill up with tears. Where did the time go? Oh, to hold that precious baby again.
I'm so proud of you for the little guy you are becoming. And I'm so thankful that God chose me to be your mom.
I love you so much.
Happy Birthday, sweet boy.
Speaking of birthdays, we've had some pretty fun birthday parties in the past. Something tells me you're gonna like this one too. :)
wait for it...
wait for it...
wait for it...
