Happy Birthday Jacob!

Her face says it all!



It is hard to believe that I had Jacob one year ago. He has been the most wonderful, peaceful, easy going, cuddly and lovable baby. He still has a little dimple and a little cleft in his chin that I thought he might outgrow. He has most recently discovered deer in our front yard and sheep down the drive. He checks ALL the windows periodically throughout the day and will say "deer"? He knows they are out there somewhere. He also has decided that he likes to wear shoes and insists that they are on his feet at all times. He stomps through the house and turns his head to see if anyone is looking. Jacob just started to play with his big sister Lily Kate, they have a new game that is a combination of hide and seek and tackle the baby.

We had a small birthday celebration for Jacobs first birthday. He did not really care for the cupcake and instead devoured a popsicle, or two. That is a first birthday tradition in our family.

Of course I am flooded with the thoughts that this year has gone by to fast. But I am excited to see how Jacob changes this year. What will he want to talk about? What will his favorite toy be? Will he love snow, and Christmas? Will he love books? Will he still give big bear hugs and snuggle? And will he keep that dimple?
