Guess who's 4?

Say Hello Mr. "4 year old." Can you tell he's a little excited about his birthday.
His birthday was officially Saturday the 23rd. And since that day he keeps asking me,"Mom do you remember when I was 3...." Like it was so long ago.

I worked very hard on this cake. And he loved it!

I love birthdays. Especially when it comes to my kids. I love making them feel special. I love throwing them parties and planning them. It just builds the excitement. And I think I am pretty good at it too. Mattix wanted a firefighter birthday this year. He loves fire trucks and wants to be a firefighter when he grows up. I loved this theme. We did a similar party for Mason when he turned 3. But this one was special just for Mattix. He was so happy. He kept saying all day. "Thanks for my birthday mom." "I love my birthday mom." and when it was time for bed and we were talking about the day. He said thank you again and than said, "mom this was my best day ever!" Yeah that made me feel good. I got lots of hugs and kisses from him that day.

He loves tape! He will tape anything he can get his hands on.

In honor of my newest favorite 4 year old's birthday. I thought I would find some super cute pictures of this little stud. There's a lot. And believe me if I had the patience I would have uploaded a lot more. I may be biased but I think my kids are so cute.

Independence sometimes can be a little messy.

He's becoming very independent in his old age.

Mattix loves to hold baby Brenda.
He loves babies. He is so sweet and gentle with them.

18 months Cheeto face

Always handsome even when he's got a dirty face.

Catch daddy!
He's always loved playing football with his daddy.

He will always be a mama's boy.
I love my boy!

My little cheese ball!
Always getting into something.

6 months old.
He's always loved the water. He loved bathes when he was a baby.

Mommy and Mattix on his blessing day.
He loves his mommy!

He's such a handsome guy.

1 month old. So little
He was breech in mommy's tummy and for the longest time after he was born his feet would stick straight out. Just like he did in my tummy.

Maybe this is why he likes sports so much?
He's loved any kind of ball I swear from day one.

He weighed in at 6 lbs even.
He was so cute.

He had attitude from the beginning.

I've loved this kid long before I laid eyes on him. He came out with a full head of hair screaming. He was so mad. Grandma, Grandpa, Nana and Papa sat out at the windows of the OR and waited waited to see him. We were worried all through my pregnancy about him being to tiny and not healthy. I was on bed rest for 6 weeks. But he came out healthy as can be. Totally perfect.
We love our Mattix Man. He helps keep our life exciting.
Happy Birthday Mattix!
You are getting so big so fast.
