This little love nugget came into our lives amid the chaos of a move, a new job, and a house renovation. He brought with him a wave of calm and peace and he's been doing the same thing ever since. Now he is preparing to become a big brother for the first time. It has been a sweet experience to watch him transition from being the "baby" {also known as King of Our Universe} to accepting and eventually embracing what is going to happen in a few weeks. He's gone from tears of sorrow at the first news that we were having a baby, to kissing my stomach every morning as a way to say "Hi brother, I love you."
He can run, skip, hop, SNAP!, tie his own shoes, count to 100 and beyond, read books, add numbers, spell words and pretty much capture my heart on a daily basis. All this evidence proves is that it's true - my
RedDog is S-I-X years old. Happy birthday sweet boy!
ps. I'll try to capture a few of our birthday traditions and blog about them next week.

Happy Birthday Red Dog! I hope you have a fun filled day!
Seeing Red Dog as that lil baby just makes me ache to hold another newborn!!! Good thing a friend is having her baby next week to satiate my needs! PHEW! You are still looking as fabulous as ever! Thank you for the self portrait! I was just thinking, "Man, her pregnancy has gone fast!" for me :)
Here's a high five and a huge hug for the Birthday Boy RED DOG! Have a great celebration.
What a beautiful baby he was and a really cute kid! Tell him The Minnesotan Gertens say, "happy birthday"!

Red Dog, what a cute baby you were. Six is a big year! Enjoy it! I'm snapping for you!
Red Dog, oops...you're entering your seventh year and, yeah, that's even bigger and more magical than six.
