11 years ago my life changed

As I type this I am bawling,  I can hardly believe that 11 years ago you came into my life.  (The pictures in this blog are from your 10th year of life :) and fourth grade as well as the summer before  4th grade )

First some of the stats...I know you would appreciate this :)  You weighed in at 6lbs 12oz (the largest of all my babies)  You were due on May 19th and came to meet us on May 6th!  In time for your Aunt Jen and Uncle Grant's Wedding!   You were 20.5 inches long.  You screamed and were a healthy happy boy from your first breathe.  I learned so much about babies with you.  Made so many mistakes.  But we survived it all!!

Now I am going to gush over you a bit...as a baby people would often comment on how beautiful you were (Gerber baby was actually often how people referred to you) and how I really could bring you anywhere (you were so good and friendly)  You rarely made strange and seemed to be fascinated by other children especially your very busy older cousin Morgan.  You brought out a side in my own mother that was just awe inspiring to me.  You truly changed her, us, our entire family...in the best ways imaginable. 
I went into labor with you after attending a Cinco De Mayo party at Dad's bosses home.  Dad went to fast over a speed bump and my water broke...11 hours later...you were here...crazy and wonderful!

Now your stats at 11 so your adult self can compare someday :) Today you are an entire 56 inches and last you told me you weighed just over 70 lbs...wow!  You have changed in 11 years but you are still sweet, make friends easily, you are such a gentleman, have excellent manners.  But you are also a leader not a follower....I love this about you.  You love sports and right now you would do just about anything to be like your Dad!  So cool!  You play hockey, golf, and baseball.  Hockey is by far your favorite. 

You and Morgan are such GREAT buds still to this day!  I hope when your adult self reads this...you guys are still good friends...if you haven't talked in a while call her!  You know she would love to hear from you!  Do it...because your Mom says so!! :)

You love little kids and I can imagine you working with kids some day!  Although your little brothers annoy and frustrate you VERY easily... I think this has something to do with them knowing just how to push your buttons.  

Your Dad and I love you so much buddy!  We are so proud of the young man you are becoming!  WE ADORE YOU!

HAPPY 11th BIRTHDAY

 THOMAS WYATT!!
