Five years ago this month, Jacob Matthew was born! Happy Birthday, Jacob!I adore Jacob, and have from the moment he was born. He has a most amazing ability! From the time he was about 2 months old, David and Lori discovered that he has uncanny musical skills. They would pull him up to a standing position on their laps, and he would rock back and forth in perfect rhythm to whatever music was playing. Lori told me that if she was changing his diaper and music was playing, he would still HAVE to wave his arm in time to the music. I have seen him continue to love music, and to respond to it as one who is passionate about it. I'm excited to see what he does with this great gift.
Jacob is a very kind, sensitive boy. He has love for everyone. I don't think I have ever seen or heard him do anything that was less than kind or loving. Sometimes that gentleness puts him in rather vulnerable positions, but he always gets through the tough times with a smile on his face. He is a joy to be around, always interested in everything going on around him.
Now that he is five years old (today!), he is becoming a big boy--he is eager to learn, he is full of energy and enthusiasm, and he is a grandson who makes us very proud. We adore his family, each and every one, and today, May 20th, is Jacob's day--his birthday! We love you Jacob! Happy Birthday!
Below are Jacob and his big brother and best friend, Joseph David Gardner:
