Brandon's 4th Birthday

Brandon turned 4 on July 5th. I can't believe he is 4 already and that everything that happened with him being born so early and being in the NICU was 4 years ago. Sometimes it feels like it was so long ago that we went through all of that with him and other days it feels like it was yesterday. He has come such a long way since he was born weighing only 1 pound, 14 ounces. His well visit is in a week from tomorrow and I am curious to see his stats. He is currently wearing 3t shorts and pants (he is skinny) and 4t shirts. He is fully potty trained. He talks in full sentences and has an amazing vocabulary. He runs, jumps, and plays just like any 4 year old boy. He loves doing projects and building towers out of blocks, legos, etc. He loves Wesley most of the time although he is dealing with having a mobile brother who wants to do exactly what he is doing at the same exact time. He is a very sweet, affectionate boy. He finished his first year of preschool and LOVED it. This year for his birthday Brandon said he wanted a blue bike. We gave it to him the night before his birthday and he was so excited. He is a little nervous to ride it because it is hard to balance on it but I think once he gets used to it he will love it. Brandon was very into opening his presents this year. Each time he opened a present he said, "Wow" in awe. On the morning of his birthday Brandon enjoyed a birthday donut. It is a new tradition that we started this year. Grandma Marsha and Papa Earle watched the boys so that I could go with Stu to his eye appointment. They both had fun playing outside in the pool and water table. Both sets of grandparents were here for dinner and then Brandon had a Wubbzy birthday cake that I made.
