Happy Birthday to Ryan!

Well, today is Ryan's big day! He's four years old now! Let's take a look back at how he's grown...
Okay, so he's 1 day old here. For some reason the only pictures we have of the day he was born are the screaming, immediately out of the mommy pics. So this is from the next day. He's a pretty cute little guy!
Here's Ryan's first birthday. Man, this kid knows how to make a MESS! Even now, it seems like he manages to get his face, arms, table, clothes, etc. dirty every time he eats. Looking at this, we should have known what was coming!
Two year old Ryan, not a clue as to what's going on.
Three year old Ryan was very into tools...look how proud he is of his tool belt!
And now, my big four year old Rynan. We went for a walk this morning, and it was the first time he got to ride his new birthday bike (other than around Walmart). He did great! In fact, he did better than David (either there's something wrong with his bike, or that kid is a wimp...). I can't believe how grown up Ryan is getting! He's about 1/8 of an inch shorter than David was 2.5 months after turning 4 (the first date we have on the growth chart), so he is most likely taller than David was at this age. What a big, cute, sweet, wonderful guy!

Happy birthday Ryan! You have grown so much. It is fun to see pictures of you as a newborn, and on your 1st, 2nd, and 3rd birthdays. We're glad you like your rocket bike. We love you!
Love, Grandma and Grandpa Smith

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RYAN! You look great on your rocket bike!
His 1st birthday pic looks a lot like Katy's, finger pointing at the camera and all!
