Alistair David Hennessey - 5 years old!

Can you believe Alistair is now 5 years old! Holy Moly! He is such a big kid now! Baby cannot be used to describe anything about Alistair except maybe his sister - and even that is a stretch! For his birthday, Alistair wanted a pumpkin pie! We decided to "kid it up" a bit and add some helicopters. Alistair could not wait for his pie...but not for the pie, so he could take the helicopters off to play with! (:
We have this really cool ball that he got last year for his birthday. All the kids, and some adults, had a blast playing in it all day. Made for some tired kids later on!
Alistair received this silver reed and barton water plane bank from Grandma and Grandpa. Very cool!
Nana made him this very cool vest. Airplanes - GREAT! Orange - GREAT!
Getting ready to blow out the candles and looks extremely excited about it! Really he was EXHAUSTED! If someone had laid him horizontal, he would have passed out!

Alistair had his 5 year check up on Tuesday after his birthday. He is growing like a weed, which we kind of already knew! He is 42 1/4 inches tall (45%) and is 45 1/2 pounds (75%). His sight was 20/20 and she was overall pleased with his progress. She did recommend some gross motor PT for him as his lower legs are very tight and seem to restrict his movement, which is apparent when he runs and swims! Alistair continues to be OBSESSED with planes and helicopters and soaks up any information about them he learns! He is still swimming and is now also playing soccer. He seems to enjoy it and takes the class with a large handful of his friends!
