Our Jacob

Our Jacob came into this world with pizazz!

An emergency c-section with the doctor riding on the gurny -- her hand in me holding the prolapsed cord. Lights flashing in the hospital.

Code red being called over the entire intercom system.

And since that day, he has done everything with that much pizazz!

This year he has discovered his own skin--that means tons of style when it comes to dressing, cool hair and a calm demeanor that has the girls at school writing notes about him.

Dreamy eyes, movie star looks and all the right words.

Dios Mio!

Jacob is my child who loves to create. If it is in his brain, he wants it on paper.

He loves to act and direct.

He'll play sports and go shooting with daddy to "hang" with the boys.

He has a much too advanced sense of humor. He and his dad are kindred spirits and share one too many smirks for me. :)

He speaks in questions. He has a quick tongue. He is nosy.

He remembers EVERYTHING you say.

He loves his family...deeply. He loves his extended family...deeply. He loves our family friends...deeply. Jacob's love knows no bounds.

(But, don't piss him off.)

He loves to travel. He loves to explore.

He loves the Prius....really. He hates bumper stickers. He will wash any Toyota vehicle like a pro. He'll vacuum it even better. He will help with housework but hates yardwork.

He loves to run. He loves soccer. He loves his friends.

He is our Jacob.
