One year ago today God blessed our lives with our second child, a son, Jacob Alan. At 6:09 PM on February 2, 2009 Jacob arrived into this great big world weighing 9lbs 5oz and 21.5 inches long. Jacob you have been a blessing from the day we found out you would be joining our family, we prayed to God that He would bring us a healthy baby and he did. Brenna has loved you from the day she met you (I even think she loved you when you were in Mommy's tummy, she always wanted to look for you!), we are so blessed to have to wonderful children who love each other!
I do have to say that it is very fitting that Jacob arrived on Groundhogs Day because a week earlier we had tried inducing labor and it failed, and on Feb. 2 we were induced again and it worked! Once Jake decided he wanted to be born he came quickly. We arrived at the hospital at around 7 am for our (2nd) scheduled induction and he was born less than 12 hours later! Jacob was welcomed by Mommy and Daddy, then Brenna came in as soon as you were all cleaned up. After Brenna met him for the first time, Grandma Pat and Grandma & Grandpa Fouts were able to come in and meet Jacob. We were all so happy for his safe and healthy delivery!
Jacob has learned so much in the past year, as you have probably read all of his monthly updates! So what has Jacob been up to this past month???

Jacob has learned so much in the past year, as you have probably read all of his monthly updates! So what has Jacob been up to this past month???
- Jacob is once again sleeping through most nights or waking only once for some milk.
- He can crawl like a champ and will walk while holding someones hands.
- He is beginning to eat more real food, instead of the jarred stuff.
- Jacob still loves his sister and all that she does.
- He really enjoys bath time, now that he and Brenna take baths together.
- He wears size 4 diapers and 18-24 month size clothes. I don't know his height or weight, but I will have an update on that on Friday when we go for his 12 month check up.
- Jacob is just so full of love, he loves to give hugs and kisses.
- He has learned how to tickle himself, when Brenna tickles him, he says in a high pitched voice "tick, tick, tick" and tickles his chest. (It is hilarious!)
- His absolute favorite thing to do is sit on Mommy and Daddy's bed and look out the window and he loves to throw things behind the couch and then say "uh-oh"!
Jacob is our funny, loving, sweet little boy. We pray that God will bless his life continually in the same ways we have been blessed by our precious son. Happy Birthday Baby Boy, Mommy and Daddy Love You Sooooooooooooooooo Much!
