Jacob –
Happy Birthday!  I can’t you are 2 today!!! I remember vividly taking this picture just minutes after you were born.  Your dad & I fell in love with you instantly!

Buddy you give your mama a run for her money sometimes (just like your brother & sissy).  I remember going into your birth having a 3 page memo to all the family on what items needed to be done and when in order to be fully prepared for you coming home & the holidays.  Well after 48 hours of your birth I ripped that memo to shreds!  I ripped it up because of anger & frustration that my “perfect plan” wasn’t coming together.

Little did I know at the time the “perfect plan” was a bundle of joy in my arms – you little Jacob.

Jacob you amaze us everyday and we are so proud of you!  Keep up the good work!  I always tell your siblings use their manners, never give up & always do your best – same goes for you Mr. Jacob 🙂

Here is to a healthy, happy & fantastic year of being 2!  We love you so very much!

Love Always,
– Mom
