Today, we celebrate our kiddo’s 5th birthday! It is definitely a magical time for all of us, as the excitement on his behalf can barely be contained. Stephen & I have just been watching him grow in astonishment…..1st, we seriously can’t believe we made such an amazing little man. 2nd, he is growing way too fast!
Here is the latest teddy bear pic ❤
If you follow our adventures, you know this teddy bear pic is a fun regular measure of growth for us. Check out all our past pics & updates HERE.
We continued our tradition of a BIRTHDAY INTERVIEW. The free printable of this can be found HERE.
As with last year’s interview, some of his answers were both quite surprising & hilarious!
More from the previous year’s questionnaire that we used:
What is your name?: Liam
How old are you?: holds up 5 fingers
What is your favorite food?: (taps cheek as he’s thinking) pizza
What makes you laugh?: When Daddy makes funny faces
What are you afraid of?: bears
What is the best time of the day?: summer
Where do you like to go?: the beach
What do you like to do with your family?: the zoo
Other notable things these days …
He still refers to both me & Stephen as ‘guys’ , or as ‘hey guys’ …I pointed this out in last year’s update & that has not changed. It’s hilarious!
He is still a whiz with the iPad.
Dancing and Music are his passions. At any moment, he will break out with his latest moves or sing his heart out.
We have seen a tremendous amount of growth in the last 6 months. Both physically {as in we had to move him into size XS/S clothes after spending this last year in 4T/5T and we’re about to go shoe shoppi g again} and also emotionally/mentally. I know I have always said how easy going his personality is, and yes, that still holds true. However, in recent months, he has also began to assert himself more and test his boundaries. I think part of it is being in summer camp and being around older kids. He sees more now and is trying his limits at times.
He officially gave up naps in June.
We are officially not in daycare anymore as of last month. This summer, he has been enrolled in a Junior Summer Camp with kiddos Kindergarten age through 2nd grade.
He will start Kindergarten next month!!!
He has been taking a soccer class with camp this summer & really likes it.
He has also recently taken an interest in basketball.
He definitely has his own sense of style & is excellent at matching his outfits each day. Gone are the days when I can buy just about any cute clothes that I like. He is VERY picky about his shirts/tops & most days, they have to be character shirts {superheroes, star wars, disney, etc}.
Here is a look back at the last 5 year’s of birthday pics….
Happy 5th Birthday, our sweet little man, Liam Michael!!
Words cannot express how much love fills our hearts for this kiddo. He is a blessing to us each & every day ❤
