Happy Birthday, Jakob!

Yesterday, we celebrated the 8th birthday of our handsome son, Jakob. I am amazed at how fast time goes by. A year ago today, doctors and nurses were explaining to us that his lungs were underdeveloped and so was his ability to suck. Now he is still a picky eater, but he weighs 65 pounds, a far cry from the 6 pounds and 13 ounces he weighed when he was born. He has grown so much. Over the past year, Jake has become an awesome reader and recently finished the first book in The Boxcar Children series. On his first quarter report card, he made all A's! He loves to play baseball, hunt and fish - all boy! Some things never change though. He still sleeps with a blanket he recieved when he was a baby and his favorite person in the whole world is his nee-naw!
