One of my first memories of Robert is watching the little 5 year old roll under the pew at his parents' wedding, wrestling with the little tuxedo, slowing stripping it off item by item. I tried my best to catch the eye of the adorable little guy, and finally won a tiny, little smile. Heart melt. Now, four years later, he is a handsome boy who still has that heart-warming smile and shy spirit, until you get to know him...
See, heart-melting.

And handsome. I always tell the truth.

But, still a little shy.

Oh, but along with being 9 comes the 4th grade attitude.

And the fact that he looks more and more like his dad every day.

But he'll always be that little boy in the church to me.

Enjoy your last year of being single digits you adorable Lego-lovin', video-game playin' sweet kid.
