Wow! 6 years old!

Six years ago today, I became a Mommy for the very first time. Jacob Nicholas was born on this day in 2003, at 3:53pm and my life was forever changed.

Dear Jacob,

You are 6 years old today! I'm having a hard time believing it. Six years have flown by and I know the years to come will also. You are truly a gift from God and I love you more than you'll ever know. I remember bringing you home from the hospital and thinking, "Did they really let me leave with this baby? I don't know what I'm doing!" I learned.

You are in Kindergarten and at the very top of your class. It's not a surprise to me, though. I'm constantly amazed by how smart you are! You are playing your first year of coach pitch baseball and you're the starting 3rd baseman. You have a natural talent and can hit and throw like 9 year old. In the past year, you have lost 4 teeth! In fact, you're missing both of your top front teeth right now. You love sports. Any type of sport, but you love watching football. You decided last football season that you're a Florida Gators fan. Since, Daddy is a UGA fan and I'm an FSU fan, it's a hard pill for us to swallow! But, we're letting you be independent and form your own opinions. (We hope you change your opinion on this one.) You love to play outside...mainly practicing baseball and throwing the football. You also love to draw. Your favorite foods are mac and cheese, cheese quesadillas, and pizza. Your best friends are Matthew, Jordan, and Noah. God is working in you and you're learning to listen. You love going to church and especially love AWANA....this is your first year in Sparks. You are such a sweet and well mannered boy. Everyone loves you and says how kind and well behaved you are. You also have a tender heart. It doesn't take much to hurt your feelings and that's hard for me, as your Mommy, to deal with sometimes....some kids are cruel.

Jacob, my sweet, sweet boy, you changed my life forever when you came into this world. I thank God every day for picking ME to be your Mommy. You bring so much happiness into the lives of everyone who knows you. I am blessed to be your Mommy!!

"I'll love you forever,

I'll like you for always,

As long as I'm living

My baby you'll be."

I love you forever and always! Happy 6th Birthday!!
