Thumbs Up~Jacob Turns Ten

I just can not believe my baby boy is 10 years old! We are so blessed to have have so many people in our life that love and cherish Jacob as much as we do. Every year for Jacob's birthday his homebound teacher's, his speech therapist, orientation and mobility specialist and vision teacher bring a fun party to him. They bring yellow balloons because this is Jacob's favorite color, they bring a cake, party supplies and a group gift. The pictures above are from this year's birthday party.
Jacob loves the fact that he is ten. As you know he uses sign language to talk and the sign for the number 10 is thumbs up. For the past month we have been telling him that when he has his birthday he will not be 9 (index finger to thumb) but will be 10~thumbs up and he makes the signs then laughs out loud. He loves to count and has been working on counting by 10's to 100. It seems like yesturday he was my little 3 pound 11 ounce little man, boy has he come a long way. Thanks for the many things you have taught me this past 10 years my little Jaybird~Love Mommy
