Happy 5th Birthday Lincoln Ryan!

This handsome little devil turned 5 at the end of October. 

He was beyond excited for his big celebration. Like jump out of bed at the crack of dawn (wait, he does that everyday!), run down the stairs and beg to open his presents. 

Just look at that little ham of a smile :)
Oh how I love him!

A whole hand! Check out that concentration to put up 5 fingers. 

Five things I love about him: 

* his energy. He can go and go and go, and talk and talk and talk

* how he loves his family. He gives the most amazing hugs and tells us all how much he loves us. 

* he is polite. Don't you dare miss an opportunity to say "thank you" with him around. He will remind you. 

* his animal impersonations. Especially the tiger! ROARRRRR. 

* he's wicked smart. He's mastered writing his name and numbers up to 10, and most recently, told Regan she needed to turn left while we were out walking. And was correct in his directions. she looked at him in shock, joking that she still has to use her hands to show which way is left :) 

Happy 5th Birthday Lincoln Ryan! We love you :)
