four

my little riggies just turned four.  that's a hard pill to swallow....my BABY is four! which means, i actually no longer have a baby in my house.  how is this even possible?  i go through this with all of my kids' birthdays every. single. year.  does it ever get easier?  will it ever not hurt my heart so much to see my kids older?
enough complaining though.  there is a flip side here.  my little, baby boy has turned into an quite an amazing little human.  he is my side kick.  probably my best friend.  and at this point in time, i am his best friend too.  i love it.  one of my favorite qualities about riggies is that he will randomly just throw out an 'i love you' to any one of us.  or he will just say, 'you're so beautiful mom.'  he refers to himself and my boyfriend and daddy's buddy.  like he will say, 'your boyfriend wants a slice a cake,' or 'your buddy wants to go with you.'  it's so freaking cute. he also has the cutest, little lisp right now.  i of course want him to grow out of it....but not yet(;  the boy still needs a good nap almost daily.  and he can out eat any one of us.  he still has to have 4 breakfasts every morning, and literally all day long is telling me that he is hungry. he loves to have his picture taken.  if you ever notice that he has taken over my instagram, it's because he asks me to take pictures of him all day long.  he has the biggest heart. 
 i need to finish downloading pics from thanksgiving and his birthday, but for right now, these will do.we were in emmett for riggins' birthday this year.  the weather was mostly awesome while we were up there.

riggs, i love you.
