What can you say about a boy like Jacob?
A boy who has always been larger than life?
Jake weighed 10.1 lbs at birth. He cried non-stop until he was 6 months old. After the 6 month mark he was as happy as he had been unhappy.
Awww... Jake was such a hungry baby. He would down his bottle so fast that the sides of the bottle would suck in and collapse. He started eating cereal long before the recommended age, but I just couldn't keep him full on formula alone.
And wow, did he ever have the hugest smile. It went with his big personality. A personality that draws people to him. He always had a crowd of friends and a insatiable zest for life.
Jacob rarely ever did or does things half way. (Unless you count making his bed.) He makes up his mind and proceeds full bore and is true to himself.
All who read this know Jake, so there's no need for me to write his life story here. (The truth is, I'd love to give it a shot. Don't you know it.)
Last week was filled with finals, his 24th birthday, and his graduation from Utah State University. Leave it to Jake to cram all that into one week. (Although, in this case it certainly wasn't his choice.)
Loves to you-my big baby Jake. mwah.
Here are a few shots from Graduation held on May 7th, 2011, where he received his Bachelors of Science in Biology.
Aw, thanks Mom!
