Yep, my little guy is now 3 years old. He was so excited all day, but he wasn’t sure how to respond when everyone kept telling him, “Happy Birthday.” At one point, he just resorted to telling people “Happy Birthday” back. Too cute.
Life is so different now from when he was born. We were just beginning our journey of being parents of more than one child. Now we daily juggle three kids. Before him, we’d only been parents to a girl. Now we girls are outnumbered in the house 2 to 3. We were preparing to mourn a loss when he was born. Now we’re trying to enjoy all of the simple, joyful moments.
Life is good with Jake. He is a challenge to raise, but aren’t they all? I love my little man, and am so proud to be his mommy.

Happy Birthday Jake! We love you and are so glad you are apart of our life.
Annie: Thanks for the impromptu celebration!
Thanks so much for your friendship and love for all of us.
Happy Birthday to your little man. 3 is such a magical age! great picture and WOW that cake looks Delicious!!
Thanks, Aurelia! He’s changed so much in the last year. I’m excited to see who he’ll become in the next year!
The years go by so fast! Happy Birthday!
I hope you had a happy birthday Jake. I Love You little buddy. From, Your Uncle Doug
Kailani: They really do. Everyone tries to warn you, but there’s really no understanding it until you’ve experienced it! Too fast.
Doug: Thanks from Jake.
