Seven!

This weekend Anthony grew up just a little bit more, celebrating his seventh successful birthday in a row.  Way to go, Anthony!  We had a little party.

You know you've become a Real Boy when you get your first Bears jersey.

The Space Police are going to get you! This fits right in with Anthony's favorite imaginary world of Bad Guys and Heroes and spaceships and such.  I just noticed that the box says "Ages 8-14"???

Oh well, Anthony hasn't listened to anyone yet tell him he was too young for anything. Mr. Confident forges ahead, figures it out, and gets 'er done.

Another thing Anthony is growing into is big-brotherhood. Andrea had to do something the other day, so plopped Anya down in Anthony's lap and there she sat, happy as a clam.  Anthony was pretty happy too, and just sat there and held her for a long time.  I had to take a picture.

So, if it seems like we've had a lot of birthdays lately, that's because we have.  One a month for the first four months and two more in May! Cool huh? Nothing like piling all the celebrations into the first half of the year.  Except that by the time my birthday rolls around we're going to be broke. Rats!

Anyway, Happy Birthday Anthony.  We think you are turning into a fine little boy.
