Time is really flying in the Riley Household and today we are celebrating a big day - it's Sullivan's 6th Birthday!!! It's also the 7 year anniversary of my first date with Brian. Crazy that we've been together for 7 years (nearly 25% of my life!) and that we've had Sullivan for so long. He's an amazing little guy and we probably don't love on him as much as we should (or used to). However, we gave him the best thing he could ever ask for...a little brother who adores him. 
Now, I have to admit that Brian and I didn't remember this day on our own, but were reminded of this fact by a phone call from his Tia E (thank you Tia E!). We always swore that we'd never forget Sullivan and that he wouldn't take the backseat when we had kids, but it appears that this has happened just a little. So, here'e a little tribute to Sullivan and just a list of some of the reasons we love him:
(1) He's the best cuddler in the world
(2) His big brown eyes can make your heart melt (and make you forget whatever devilish thing he's just done)
(3) He's very protective of his little brother Nolan, especially when Nolan's sick
(4) He loves to scrounge around in the back yard chasing lizzards...although I don't think he's ever caught one
(5) He has a passion for kissing everyone who comes into our house (whether they like it or not!)
We love you Sullivan and couldn't ask for a better 1st born child:)!!!

Is it bad that I got emotional reading this post? I remember his first b-day party with cake and everything!And I'll never forget when Brian made an extra trip home from the hospital just to make Sullivan feel loved! We love you Sully! (or murpallivan as Andrew would say)
Is he a wheaten? My parents had one and she was the best dog! Sullivan is adorable, I love the pictures. People tell us that we'll forget all about our dogs when the baby comes, but I beg to differ. He looks like a wonderful first born!
