William is FIVE!

Our not-so-little Little William turned five years old in March! 

William has grown ten pounds and almost ten inches since his last birthday and at five years old is measuring in at 50lbs heavy and 46inches tall. 

William has a heart warming laugh, and a big imagination. If you ever need to kill time ask him to tell you about what he wants to do when he's a dad. Or ask him about the dream he had last night. 

William is an adventure seeker, but knows how to relax with calm activities too. His servant's heart has grown a lot over the past year and he often will ask, "How can I help?" or "What chores can I do?" 

He will also ask me in the morning how Clara slept that night which is very sweet of him.

He plays very well with kids younger than him (he lets James win at chess), and is so good with those in the 6m-18m range, but always wants to keep up with the big kids too. 

He loves his dad for rough housing and his mom for cozy snuggles. 

Some highlights of William's fifth year: 

 - Shot a gun for the first time

- Moved to a new city

- Had a baby sister

- Cut his own hair which was followed promptly with his first buzz cut

- Also sported a mullet for a few weeks

- Taught himself how to bike with 2 wheels

- Did swimming lessons for the first time and passed both his levels with flying colours
