Look who's five!

Jasper turned 5 on Sunday!! I am still in denial that he is actually five. Seriously! How did five years pass by so quickly. What happened to my baby boy?

At five, Jasper's favorite things are playing legos, reading books, doing math, riding his bike, being outside, dressing up like superheroes, and playing with his little brother. Jasper is a really good friend. He has so many of them and he loves them all. He is very concerned about moving and leaving these kids he cares about behind. He is very kind hearted. When I'm having a bad day, he never fails to put his arms around me and shower me with kisses. He still loves to cuddle his mommy and daddy, which I love. I hope he never gets too old to crawl in bed with us and snuggle up. Jasper loves playing outside. He is very curious about the world and science. I think Rob and I have had a bit of influence on him ;) He is a very thoughtful, pensive boy. I often find him in his room talking to himself or in deep thought with a serious look on his face. His mind never stops. Jasper is a conversationalist. He loves to talk and ask questions. The other day we were driving somewhere in the car and Rob and I chuckled to one another at the fact that Jasper had not stopped chatting in the 20 min. since leaving the house. He had so much he wanted to talk to us about.

Well, we had a fun weekend filled with watching the Lorax as a family, having Mandy Watson take our family pictures on UW campus, opening presents, and eating birthday cake and ice cream.

Happy Birthday to my dear Jasper!
