Jacob Daniel Spires born October 11, 2000 at 8:43 am weighing 9lbs 8oz. I can't believe you are 9 years old today, it honestly feels like you were born yesterday. I thought we told you we're not having anymore birthdays:) Oh, that's right you told me "mom, you can't stop me!" Which is so true buddy. No matter how I would like to slow down the clock, I wouldn't trade all we have been through for anything. I eagerly await the years and memories to come (but perhaps we could skip adolescence!)
As I sit here today and look at your baby sister, I am reminded of all the sweet memories of you at this age. You were the happiest baby, despite not really sleeping for your first 18 months and you smiled everywhere you went. Even when you were sick, dealing with your health and asthma problems. And you were all boy, kicking or throwing a ball all the time. It was obvious from a young age that you were passionate about life and I am proud of the way you have succeeded at home, in school or on the field and it is proof that you will really go far and I can not wait to watch you.
But most of all, I love your tender heart. You are such a loving young boy and I pray that Daddy and I can continue to shepherd your heart as you grow into the man God has intended you to be.
So today, even though I cannot be with you in person, I am thanking God for your sweet, young life and I am so grateful that God gave us you. Happy Birthday Honey!
