A tribute to my sweet Jake

Jake turned 6 yesterday so I thought I would write a little tribute to my little guy. Jake is very sweet and has a very innocent way of looking at life. He says some of the funniest things and has no idea that he is even being funny. I've never known anyone like Jake. He has a fabulous memory. He knows a lot about a lot of things because of the commercials he watches. You can ask him what toy is in the happy meal at any fast food restaurant and he always knows them all.

Jake has such a great smile! He has the cutest little dimple. I love to see him smile when he is watching something on TV that is funny, when I come in the door and he sees me or when he's hiding under his covers waiting for me to tuck him at night.

Jake LOVES to go swimming. This picture is bad because of the steam that got on the camera but I had to put it in anyway. We went swimming for Jake's birthday and when we got there he just jumped in the water and said "I just love swimming". He wears this mask and stays under the water as long as he can, comes up for air, then goes back down again. He does this the whole time we swim.

Jake was born on My mom's birthday. Every year, since he was born, I have taken their picture together on their birthday. My mom says she gave her birthday away to Jake but Jake says it's still her birthday too. He likes that his Grandma has the same birthday as him.

Jake is a very giving kid. He will give anything to any of his siblings. He let all them play with all his new birthday things before he did. He just wants people to be happy. We love our sweet little boy. Happy Birthday Jake!
