Happy birthday to me (version 2, part 7)

Mom and Dad like to talk about when Jonathan was smaller than our couch bear, and they used to think I'd never be bigger than him. But just to recap...

Here he is just a few days after I first came home:

And after one year:

This was when I was two :  

Three years back? The bear got smaller:

And at age four, he started to lose even more size:

By age five, well...: 

And last year I was past him for sure:  

This year? Well...

He's a pretty squishable guy. Not as squishable as this other one, though: 

Unfortunately, he is also ... very large.
