Wild About You!!

Happy 4th Birthday Ridge!!

We are absolutely positively WILD About YOU!!!

We had a great time creating Ridge's wild animal cake!

Some of the animals Ridge already had in his backpack of zoo animals.

However he got a new pack of Rainforest animals to compliment his cake!

I have never seen a kid more excited and connected to his animals!

He mimics them so well and is so animated when he plays with them!

I love they way he makes them giddy-up, fly, swim, etc, etc! :)

What a darling boy who absolutely lights up my life!!!! 

We decorated everything Wild Animal, using stuff from his room!

most of his gift from mom and dad were in animal print, so fun!

My family was so generous! He was elated with each gift!

We had a great time celebrating Ridge!! 

 In perfect Ridge behavior, he had to act like many of the animals

on his cake before we could eat it.

This Tiger impression is my favorite capture! 

"There never was a child so lovely but his mother was glad to get him asleep."
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson

We joke that Ridge is like the energizer bunny!!

Especially if Ridge is unfortunate enough to fall asleep in the car,

then he is up with an unlimited amount of energy!

He LOVES to run and run and run and play!
He would stay up to all hours of the night if we would let him.

Nothing is more enjoyable though then to read to him

his favorite animal books and "Mom, can you snuggle me?"

Ridge gives the best hugs and kisses on my cheek

cause he can't kiss on my lips, GROSS! ;)

OH RIDGE! I LOVE YOU SOOO MUCH!!!
