My oldest is my one and only boy. When he was a baby we called him our little man. He is so wonderful to have in our family. His name is Christopher Burke and since his father is Chris he goes by his middle name. He is in 3rd grade this year and I can't believe he is so grown up it seems like it was just yesterday that we were bringing him home from the hospital. I remember when he was about ready to start 1st grade he told me he wanted to go by Christopher. I was very open with that option but as soon as I told him that he would have to learn to spell Christopher he said he was okay being called Burke. Whenever we take pictures of Burke he usually does goofy faces. He loves to take self portraits. Sometimes when I start looking through my pictures on my camera I'll have hundreds of shots of him making such goofy faces.
Burke is a wonderful big brother to ALL of his younger sisters. When we were pregnant with Alexis and we would have to go get another ultrasound done he would always say maybe she has turned into a boy. Well even though she didn't he is such a wonderful brother to her. Out of everyone in the family he is the one that can make her laugh. I have been amazed by this. Sometimes he can just walk into the room and when she sees him she giggles. Sometimes he will fall down and yell out "OWE" and she will go into a fit of giggles! Burke and Annie are also very close. Not to say they don't have their spats because they do, but they are super close and they rely on each other at school. I love my little man very much and I hope he knows how proud of him I am!
