the big two.

Happy Birthday, Jacob Maxwell! I can't believe that it's already been two years since we first met him. But, yet, it seems like he's been here forever! I wouldn't trade him for anything! He's the best little guy. He always has a smile on his face {even while at the doctors, he'll even say thank you when he gets a throat swab!}. He always has us laughing. Always. He comes the most alive at night, however, when the other two are in bed, and then he starts spinning in circles, singing songs, everything he can do to keep himself awake, really! He just loves having time with Mom and Dad. He talks very well. He'll repeat any word you say, but says phrases, too, so we pretty much know what he wants usually. He repeats one scripture every night, and is pretty good at it, but his favorite thing to say is "And it came to pass". He says his nightly prayers by himself without any help...

"Father, Pease bless Papa. Pease. Grateful. happy, sleep well. Amen."

He loves his crocs. He has other shoes, but would much rather wear the crocs everywhere, and he puts them on himself {always on the right feet}, he used to wear them ALL of the time, but now it's just when we leave. He loves his Aunt Erin. They are best buds. He loves anything associated with a bike, it isn't uncommon to see him with a bike helmet on! He loves his sunglasses, and wants to wear them all of the time. He's pretty smart, he can figure something out pretty quick. {he loves ice, he's always asking for it. After watching me so many time get it from the fridge dispenser thing, he figured it out, and would do it all of the time, so we put the lock on. To get the lock off you just push it three times fast. He apparently watched me to it, and now knows how to unlock the fridge.} there is no stopping this kid! He love his Momo and Pa, and his Nana and Papa. He talks about all of them daily. He wiggles his eyebrows and sticks out his tongue--just like Papa. He has the best eye color ever, it's not blue, green, or brown, they are hazelish. He weighs 35 pounds, is 34 1/2 inches tall, wears a size 8.5 shoe, is in 3T clothes, and growing everyday. We love Jacob! I'm sure I could go on for days about all of the things of Jacob...he's great! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JAKEY BOY! WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH! Here's to another year full of playing, laughing, kisses, and snuggling!
