T.W.E.L.V.E.
In honor of my firstborn's birthday, I give you... 12 Things You Wanted To Know About Jake But Were Afraid To Ask.
1. Jake's due date was December 7 (Pearl Harbor Day) but the little darling showed up early.
2. The child has curly hair and long eyelashes... he would have a been a beautiful girl but is an even more handsome boy.
3. He hated to be put down... he also hated strollers, slings, baby bjorns, and bouncy seats.
4. After his first day of pre-school he came home and told me all about the "Big Snap" (complete with attempted snapping motion) which, it turns out, meant the "Big Bang".
5. He used to call firetrucks "fireshoes".
6. He's been surfing since he was 4.
7. Which means he is pretty good.
8. Jake takes after me in that he is an avid and voracious reader. He takes after Hugh with his love of watches, fishing and 80's movies.
9. Everyone calls him, "Jake Fast".
10. Except us. We usually call him, "Dale".
11. The child loves to travel. He is trying to figure out a career that will jet him all over the world... pro surfer? Pilot? International Man of Mystery?
12. He has a kind heart, a quick wit and gives the best hugs. He is my firstborn and I love him.
LET'S WISH THIS BOY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Happy Birthday, Jake.
Gotta love a kid who doesn't make mama wait all the way to that due date. No day of infamy for him.
Happy Birthday, Jake Fast!

"Ode to Jakey Fast"
You are the Yin to Wyatt's Yang,
As I see you two grow, my heart feels a pang.
Your jokes are funny and full of wit,
Promise me your good looks and smarts won't turn you into a twit.
Remember us little people when you accept the Noble Prize,
We'll be the one with the pride and love in our eyes!
Happy Birthday, Jakey Fast!
Happy Birthday Jake!!! Enjoy being 12!
aww he's so stinkin cute!
I love that he knows at 12 that he wants a career traveling. I was not nearly that together at 12.
Happy Birthday Jake!
Happy Birthday Jake!
Happy, happy birthday Jake!
I hope you day is extra special.
P.S. You are quite handsome. I'll bet you have to fight the girls off with a stick :)
Of course I meant "your" day.
I'm off to look up an online typing class.
Best wishes to everyone!
What a handsome fellow. Should we start brokering an arranged marriage between our first-born children? We would have ourselves some gorgeous and wicked smart grandchildren.
Happy Birthday Jake! I can't believe how the time has flown by. I hope you have an amazing day.
Love,
Your Fairy Godmother

Happy Birthday to that handsome lil devil!
I just have to ask... why Dale?
Happy birthday Jake! Dang Kristen, what were you when you had him? 17? ;)
Maya was born on pearl harbor day.
Happy Birthday, Jake! Hope it's spectacular!
November 18 was my due date with my oldest - she'll be 13 on the 22nd. Who also, by the way, said, "WHO is THAT?" as I was reading this post. Which, in teenspeak, is "He's CUTE!"
Hey Dale
Happy b'day from the Harem up the hill...
You know who we are!
(if our really stupid last name you want to know,
Count the kisses down below...)
xxxxxxx
I hereby declare our first born children betrothed. They'd make a damned cute couple and just think! We'd be family (for real). Done and done.
Happy Birthday to my future son-in-law. ha ha ha
And a Happy 12th Mothering Anniversary to you. Love you!
Happy Birthday, Jake!!
Happy Birthday, Jake!
BTW, my firstborn was also due on December 7. After months of threatening to arrive early, we had to induce labor on December 13.
Word verification: tab-boing!
I think the Big Snap is a better name, personally ... the other name sounds too much like a "naughty thing adults do."
Happy birthday, Jake!
Awesome kid, all around.
Happy Birthday Big Kahuna!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAKE!
happy birthday jake!
nothing like birthday wishes from an older mid-western woman to make turning twelve complete.
Happy Birthday Jake Fast! 12 is awesome. He's gorgeous and has great hair. Surfer hair!
I'm voting the pro surfer, that will get him on all the coolest beaches, lots of traveling too.
Your last year before he's a teenager. Mine too.
I see celebrity chef (a dark haired and more handsome Jamie Oliver). Hope you had a rocking day Jake!
Love,
Auntie Lisa
#12 is my favorite. What a great kid.
