Seven Years Old

By little dude, Buddy Baroo, Ry-Guy-a-rama is turning SEVEN! I keep telling him he needs to stay little forever and he keeps telling me that is impossible. We compromised and he agreed he will always snuggle me with - even when he is in college (or so he says. Haha). He continues to be the sweetest, most easy going little guy. He is constantly saying "its okay mommy", is the sweetest big brother in the world (even when Owen screams and hits him), adores Emmy, LOVES to snuggle morning, noon and night and is one of the most talented athletes I have seen, at such a young age. He is very smart, focused, patient, kind and strong - all of the things I could've asked for and more! I still remember driving to the hospital in the middle of the night 7 years ago after binge watching the Olympics. All he wanted to do was snuggle back then too! I hope he stays this sweet forever and all his sports dreams come true :)

As an early celebration for Ryan's birthday, we had a mommy/Buddy date at the zoo! :)
Sunday he is having a laser tag party with his buddies!

He was really into taking pictures of the animals during this trip. So he took these ones
