Happy Birthday Brooks!

Five years ago I had to get up out of my seat at our local MOPS meeting and go stand with my back pressed against the wall to ease the little contractions. I also had to call Daddy and tell him he better make his way home from the stock show in San Antonio! I can't believe it's been five years and that you've become this incredibly smart, funny, and imaginative big kid! I love that you are so independent and yet still my baby all at the same time. I love your infectious laugh and that you sometimes laugh so hard that you get the hiccups and throw up. I feel the injustice every time your sister gets to do something that you can't or the big cousins leave you behind. I hope you always want to snuggle with daddy and me in the mornings and read stories with us each night. I'm grateful that I'm your mommy and that God made you just the way you are.

Happy Birthday! You're my favorite 5 year old!
