Today Riley is four years old, and although we had his official birthday celebration a couple weeks ago, I wanted to do something today. He was running a fever this morning but rallied by afternoon, and once JB got home from work we all had a very fancy formal birthday dinner together:

(Sigh. Photobombed AGAIN.)

Mini-cupcakes were adorned:

Wishes were made:

Presents were opened:

And road-tested:

There was tomfoolery:

And ridiculous toddler ass-toots:

And somehow this guy:

Has turned into this:

Four! Oh, he’s all elbows and imagination and opinions and endless questions and barely contained enthusiasm these days, and sometimes I think how terrifying parenthood really is, because this love just grows and grows and grows, along with the baby who is now a boy who will someday be a man and like they all say, it goes so fast.

• Stuff I Like:

  Eureka Enviro Floor Steamer. Why did I not buy this YEARS ago? WHY? OH MY GOD MY LIFE IS FOREVER CHANGED. Neutrogena Healthy Skin Clear Skin Cream. Maaaajor difference in my skin since I started using this. I alternate with Pond's so my face doesn't get too dried out. Magic Bullet. I use this almost every single day to make a smoothie. Really a surprisingly awesome little kitchen tool. Neutrogena Revitalizing Lip Balm. Amazing lip balm that gives natural color and somehow makes your lips look more full. Voluspa Candle. Discovered via Jennie. These candles smell wonderful (at least the Goji/Orange scent does), and I love the pretty tin. NARS Flamenco Lipstick. Whoorl was right, this is the perfect red lipstick.
