Happy 5th Birthday Jacob!

Jacob, I cannot believe you are 5 today! It seems just like yesterday that I found out I was pregnant with you. We tried for over a year to have you and the day I found out I was pregnant, was one of the happiest days of my life. From the time you entered this world, you have been a carefree soul. You slept through the night at 6 wks. and were the happiest baby next to your brother that I have ever seen. To this day, you are still happy go lucky and such a good little boy. There is not too much you are afraid of, you take everything head on! You love your big brother with everything in you and imitate almost everything he does- the good and the bad! You are a mommy's boy and I LOVE it!!! You love to cuddle and love when mommy rubs your face and hair. You love your daddy and get so excited when he gets home from work. You and your brother spend every night outside with daddy playing baseball and basketball or whatever else you feel like playing. You love your Aunt Mindy, she's one of your favorite people. You love your grandparents and great-grandparents and get so excited when you see them. You love all things outdoors, you prefer being outside above anything. You run everywhere, you play non-stop and when you hit the pillow at night, you are out cold! You have mastered the monkey bars and didn't quit trying until you did! You love playing baseball, basketball, Super Hero Squad, GI Joe, Legos, Lincoln Logs and pretty much anything that you can use your imagination with. You love building tents with you brother and playing video games under them! You did well in preschool and are going to begin Kindergarten in a few months. You have a sweet spirit about you and make us laugh all the time. I pray that you always allow God and Joy to reign in your life and that whatever you do in this life, you do it unto Him. Always keep God in the center and He will direct your paths. I love you my baby boy, you are such a joy and I am so thankful for you.
