Justin is the big 5!

Hear are some great memories of Justin in the last 5 years.
You wouldn't know it now because he is so tall and thin, but Justin was nick named "The Tank" the day he was born, because he was so big and chunky. He was born at 10 lbs 11 oz!
The nick name died quickly, but he is still big in spirit!
When Justin was born we knew instantly that he came with his own personality!
We never had to guess with him. If he was happy-we knew it, when he was sad-we definately knew it. He doesn't do anything small.
He is enthusiastic and takes everyone with you on his high of life!
We sometimes joke that Justin didn't come with a volume switch, like everyone else, because to him everything is worth being loud about.
Justin is an extreamly loving and friendly boy. I remember he would always be friendly and talkative to people we saw in the store or around town. One time, I remember, he was talking to this lady he had never met before, and had a great conversation with her. He was telling her all about his favorite toys and she was responding greatly. After she left, he turns to me and says, "Mom, she is my new best friend!"
Justin has loved Superman since before he was 2 yrs old! I don't think there were many days at age 2-4 that he didn't dress as superman at least once that day. There were many other fun things to dress up as, but superman was always the favorite and he would wear his costumes all over town!
Justin has attached himself to a blanket at an early age. He then started chewing on it in his sleep. The poor blanket got so chewed up, that it was in pieces, so we had to throw it away and get him a new one.
Most recently I have noticed that, for Justin, having fun with his friends is a huge priority in his life. He wakes up in the morning and askes me what we are doing that day, and if it doesn't involve going somewhere with friends or having them over he instantly begins to mope around like his day is utterly ruined.
We love our Justin very much and are so glad he is a part of our family!
