Four years ago today we were enjoying the newest addition to our little family. Another boy.
Dawson Guy arrived bright and early weighing in at 7 pounds 4 ounces.
I fell in love with him very, very quickly and he's grown on me ever since.
I love having boys. I was rather afraid of them for most of my life because I had heard so many horror stories of what the little monsters could do.....but, I'm so happy to have them. They bring me a lot of joy. If I had ALL boys, I may not be able to say the same thing, but BECAUSE I was blessed with a little girl and get to enjoy both flavors, I can say it ;o)
He was so happy. Not as happy as his big brother (I'm pretty sure Dylan beats the all time record of happy babies) but happy, nonetheless.
And just because I didn't say "happy" enough in the last sentence....I'll say it one more time. Happy.
This may have been one of the only times he allowed me to adorn him in a hat.
Oh, maybe not. Here's another hat shot. Maybe I DID make him leave them on? Just as I made his sister leave her many, many bows on.
The hairless, toothless stage. Let's hope that he loves me as much as I loved him when I get there.
One of my favorite ages is right around the time they learn to walk. They are learning to take steps and balance and speak in a language that only you can understand. This was one of those stages.
Sporting the spiky do and trying to be brave enough to get messy. How come removing the guts of a pumpkin is SO hard for children, but smearing all things food across their face and through their hair is o.k? I've never understood that.
This picture makes me hurt from laughter. Something about that purple head piece and his facial expression. Hee hee hee ho ho ho
His 1.00 face painting. It's supposed to be Spiderman....whatever it is, I like it. Mostly because it was a dollar.
Dawson didn't really care that it only cost a dollar. What's a dollar to him? What's a hundred dollars to him? Someday he will wish he was this close to one of these. Thank you Papa.
Is there a saying for four year olds? You know like the Terrible Two's, Trying Threes? Was it the Fabulous Fours? Fantastic Fours?
Let's hope so ;o)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAWSON!
wow we cant beleive he is already 4years old! Time flies!
How sweet! I love the posts that go through the different stages of their lives. I have so much to look forward to.
I'm thankful for the children of my brethren. It's taught me so much about being a friend to them and how to enjoy every moment as kids grow so fast!
I hope that other people can enjoy my children as much as I've enjoyed theirs.
