Jacob, it seems like it was just yesterday that we got a call late on a Saturday night in June. You were coming, and we would be an aunt and uncle by morning. We were so excited to meet you and finally after waiting what seemed like forever for the hospital visiting hours to start, we got to meet you. We were all instantly in love with you.
You have literally grown in front of our eyes. We have seen you almost every week of your life this first year. We are so lucky to get to spend so much time with you. We've also baby-sat you several times and you've always been an angel for your auntie and uncle.
One of my favorite things this first year has been celebrating all of the fun holidays with you for the first time. From apple picking, to your first Oktoberfest at our house, Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter too! It's been so much fun!
It is a joy to be around you little man. You are so much fun and are developing the funniest personality! You have also helped Uncle Michael and I so much. Every time we would be down about having trouble making you some cousins, we spend time with you and you only further reinforce that we are willing to do anything to have a family of our own.
Happy 1st Birthday Jacob Thomas. We can't wait to watch you grow up, just try not to do it too fast!
We can't forget another special person today as well. Today is Michael's Grandma's 90th birthday! Her and Jacob are date twins and only 89 years apart. We are celebrating with her tonight and I'm sure we will be toasting with a VO shot!
This was so sweet Sara!! It brought tears to my eyes and I just love that you two get to see Jacob all the time and he will grow up knowing you and loving you so much!!
