My big boy

Adam is getting so grown up. He is such a great worker! When he puts his mind to getting something done, he can do anything. He is getting strong, so he can help me move furniture around, or help lift heavy things. Every morning, he gets Eli out of bed and turns cartoons on for him. Some mornings, he will even pour Jonah and Eli a bowl of cereal! He is a great organizer, a good biker and he is very, very smart! He doesn't ever have to study his spelling words, he just remembers how they are spelled the first time he looks at them. He is awesome at baseball and basketball. He tells great jokes and loves to laugh.
I love how he is starting to notice what is in style, and what looks "cool". I love how he asks my opinion when he is getting dressed, "what shirts looks best with theses shorts?"
I love my little "Bear"

-"Mom, did you know Jonah was born in a barn? He left the door open TWICE today!"

-"Mom, can I PLEASE mop the kitchen floor today?"

-Adam was watching a Scooby Doo movie in the car, I could hear a scary voice at one point and I looked back and said, "Adam, this sounds kindof scary, I don't think we will watch it again."
A- a couple of hours later "Mom, I have been thinking what you said about that movie, but you know what, that part was actually sooooo sweet, maybe you should watch it with me."

If you didn't know, Adam LOVES to light birthday candles and begs to do it each birthday.

He is such a handsome little baseball player
I didn't know he was so thoughtful until we did secret elves. He did so many sweet things for me, he is going to be a great husband one day :) ("something sweet for you to smell")
He is so fun to play with. He comes up with some pretty fun games to play with Jonah... and Gavin :)


When we went to Gavin's track meet, I was surprised to watch Adam run almost a whole mile, pretty fast around the track while they were warming up.
