Jacob is TWO!!

Where to begin? The 2 yr birthdays are always a big deal to me... mostly because I have always had the next baby before "the baby" turns 2. Because our children are all exactly 19 months apart, we have always had a 5 month old during the 2 birthday extravaganza...

So... Jacob Joseph Dawson. Who is he? "Mr. Compassion" I always call him, even though he gets middle named quite frequently for doing something he shouldn't, he is quite to say "saw-wy" with a hug and sloppy kiss. His first year of life was no joke...  but now, he's a fantastic sleeper and eater (except when he's done eating and turns his plate/bowl/cup over or throws the food on the floor). He loves being a big boy and can tell you so, "I bee bowah"

He says many things (now whether they are intelligible requires David's and my presence to tell you that they are actual words). Some of the cutest are "Baw" - Mom , Paw Paw- John Paul, Dacob -Jacob, Bikah - Micah, Beeeeg Qu-uck - Big Truck,  Ma Boo Bah - Magic School bus, etc etc etc

A famous face he made for a while- 9 months

Jacob is our sweet sweet boy. He's also been the first one of our babies to have an overnight hospital stay! And as of today, he's the first baby who's choked and needed the Hymleck... yes you read that correctly. He choked and I ran out into the street screaming for help bc my best wasn't working. Then I prayed a Hail Mary for help... out came the chicken.

Here's Jacob at 1 Year!

And our sweet little man, big brown eyes, curls in the back. I just can't get enough of him! What a treasure. What a gift. Praise God for our 2 year old Jacob Joseph!

His party planning consisted of a conversation that went something like this: Me: Wanna go to Gatti's for Jacob's birthday? David: that sounds good. Me (about 2 hours after that): wanna call some people to meet us there? David: that'll be fine.
