What can I say about my Jacob. He really is a sweet boy. And he has a huge head! When I first found out that our firstborn was going to be a boy, I was so disappointed. I really wanted to have a girl for our first child. But I soon got over it. The first time I felt "Lenny" move (we called Jake Lenny until we had picked out a name for him) I was reading one of the Harry Potter books and had the book resting on my growing tummy, and he kicked it. Jake kicked where that book was, as if to say "Mom, get that think off of my head!" That's when I knew that I was going to love him and that he was going to be a character.
And when I saw him for the first time (even after 15 hours of hard labor, 4 of that pushing that giant head out) I just fell in love with him. He was my little boy! He was the most beautiful baby I had ever seen (minus the huge cone head). And now, he is 3 1/2 years old. Where has the time gone? Now, there are days when I wish he would just behave and do what I ask him to do, but I still love that little guy. He is the sweetest big brother! Just what I wanted him to be with his siblings. I hope and pray that they will look up to him and that he'll be a wonderful example for them. And those moments where he'll actually let us cuddle with him, are the best!
He always makes the day a fun adventure. I never know if he's going to be a silly boy and just make me laugh. Or a bad boy, and when I try to scold him, he'll pull those puppy dog eyes and cock his head to one side and just make the sweetest face ever. And when I'm hurt or crying, he'll come over and give my loves and make sure that I'm ok. Who couldn't love a boy like that? When I think of the future for Jake, I hope and pray that he'll keep his sweet personality, and that he'll always be close to Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. I don't want to lose my little boy, but I can't wait to see what kind of man he'll be. Jake has the most wonderful example of what a man should be, and I'm a lucky gal to have married him. I love the boys in my life, and I can't wait to see how my little boys turn out to be!
