    <content type="html">SuperBob is turning nine today. Nine. When did this happen? He has changed so much sinced I last saw him five months ago! He's reminding me a great deal of my son in his mannerisms, and his sense of humor is fully evident, by his silly mugging for the camera. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My daughter, in capturing a small video, has created a  Mom-momster, and I've watched it now, I think, a hundred times! I'm calling it the three stages of Bob, and it begins like this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He's standing in front of a three-tiered, silver dessert tray. It's stuffed with yummy, sprinkled, cupcakes, and at first Bob's arms are crossed; He's hugging his excitement in, as he sings Happy Birthday to, ahem,... ME! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The excitement within him continues building, and now he's barely containing it, so he starts dancing and swaying to help keep himself in control.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, when he's about to burst, the Birthday Song comes to an end! Clapping HARD, Bob lets all that happy energy loose! And now, now comes his reward... &lt;br /&gt;          a sweet fluffy cupcake (Or two!) to devour! &lt;br /&gt;                 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*** Video posted in comments&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=dmousey&amp;ditemid=1658" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
