My Jake

I thought I'd take Terri's idea - and post pictures of my birthday boy at different ages. I thought it was a great idea!! Happy Birthday Jake!!

Here is Jake in the hospital when he was born. He ended up being c-section because he had an irregular heart rate - but he came out perfect and beautiful! He was my only baby with lots of dark hair (and ended up being my only "blonde" blue-eyed boy). I couldn't have asked for a better third child...he was very mellow!! Thanks Jake!!

Here's Jake at 6 months old. This is the age he was when I was seriously asked by two women if he was a doll. Once when he was in a double stroller with Kyle. I wondered what this lady thought of me if she thought I was pushing a doll around in a stroller... He was pretty cute!

Here he is at 18 months old and with 5 stitches on his cheek. We were visiting my sister in Rexburg and he was fighting Kyle for my lap and ended up falling off and hitting the coffee table right on the corner. Thank goodness my sister and brother-in-law were there. I made them look first and they calmly told me he'd need stitches. I don't do good with blood. The nurse asked me to leave the room while they stitched him up (I guess I looked faint) and my sister had to help hold him down for me. I'm so thankful he hasn't needed another trip to the hospital!

Here's Jake on his birthday! I can't believe he's 7. He said this was his best birthday ever! I'm sure it was because we did sooooo much on his birthday. And he was even spotlighted at church on his birthday (notice his badge he got - he wore it ALL day)!

I love you and your happy smile Jake!
