HAPPY 9th BIRTHDAY JAKE!

My little boy is 9 years old. I can't believe it. I wonder where the time went?
  • Wasn't it just yesterday I met you for the first time? It was love at first sight.

  • Wasn't it just yesterday when we brought your home from the hospital & I couldn't sleep because I thought something would happen to you.

  • Wasn't it just yesterday when you were only happy when you were in a diaper? You hated clothes, you were too hot.

  • Wasn't it just yesterday when your favorite toy was a stuffed chicken that Aunt Mandy gave you?

  • Wasn't it just yesterday when you dug in your 1st birthday cake?

  • Wasn't it just yesterday when Allie was born? You were obsessed with her eyes and tried to poke them!

  • Wasn't it just yesterday when you called Uncle Michael Paco and Nana Terri Banana?

  • Wasn't it just yesterday when you were obsessed with Buzz Lightyear, Spiderman & Batman?

  • Wasn't it just yesterday when you couldn't get enough information about dinosaurs, weather & presidents?

  • Wasn't it just yesterday when it took like 4 nurses to hold you down to get your Kindergarten shots?

  • Wasn't it just yesterday when you started preschool with Mrs. Sherer? Kindergarten with Miss Pins? 1st grade with Mrs. Wyckoff? 2nd grade with Mr. Wagner?

  • Wasn't it just yesterday when you met your best friends Paul, Ben & Adam?

  • Wasn't it just yesterday when you learned to ride a bike?

  • Wasn't it just yesterday when you ran your 1st mile? Played your 1st soccer, football, baseball & basketball games? Took your 1st swimming lesson?


The time will keep flying by...before long, you'll be going to high school, driving, dating, graduating and so on. While I am SO excited to be with your during these milestones, but I wish time would slow down.

I love you Jacob!

PS...I'll post pictures & details about last week later :)
