Happy Birthday Nicholas! 12 Years of Smiles and Energy

Technically, you couldn't smile yet, so we'll let Year 0 go.
 

1-Year-old
Smiles and energy

2-Years-old
Smiles and energy
But we had less say on what you would wear by this time, clearly.
 

3-Years-Old
Smiles and energy
But making your own food decisions.
 

4-years-old
Smiles and Energy
But you were going through a no-picture phase then, so this is a bit of treasure right here.
 

5-Years-Old
Smiles and energy.
Oh, oh my the energy.
 

6-years-old
Smiles and Energy
And the beginning of those screens.  Here your first Nintendo DS.  You still have it, and you still play on it

7-Years-Old
Smiles and Energy
And discovery.  Oh man, the love of discovery.
 

8-Years-Old
Smiles and Energy
And chocolate cake.  Nothing but chocolate cake from here on out.
 

9-Years-Old
Smiles and Energy
And doing things your own way, for sure.
 

10-Years-Old
Smiles and Energy
And just a hit of a young-man-to be showing through.
 

11-Years-Old
Smiles and Energy
And guns.

12-Years-Old
Smiles and Energy
And man, we love it when we get these out of you these days as you turn more often serious, sometimes outwardly nervous, and nearly always playing it cool these days.
