Eight years.

To my Jacob boy. 

Wow you are eight, and Mommy cannot believe it! 

I have absolutely loved seeing your personality emerge over the last few years. 

You are most like your daddy; always a joke, a smile, and ready to make someone laugh. 

Your cheery attitude and peaceful soul are so needed in this family and I'm so glad you're you! Happiest of birthdays, big boy!! We love you so much!

Jacob at about eight months. Always the smiley one.

Still smiling at almost eight years old.
