George, as Nige likes to call Jacob, turned 13 on Sunday! Where have those 13 years gone?? We have precious memories of this little guy because we were living with Phil and Natalie in Los Angeles during the pregnancy and for the first ten months of Jacob's life before they moved back to New Zealand. And now he's 13!! It was during Natalie's pregnancy when Phil and Nat told us that if the baby was a boy his middle name was going to be George. Its a family name on both sides of the family, but at the time it sounded a really old-fashioned name, especially to Nige. So throughout the pregnancy we referred to the baby as George - not knowing if it was a boy or a girl. :) I think Nige called the baby George in a kind of teasing way to Phil and Nat back then, but the name has stuck and Nige still calls him George today.
Here is Jacob and I on his birthday in 2008 and 2009 . . . slowly growing taller with the aim of passing his aunt in height.
Well, here we are in 2011 and he has definitely made it past me . . . well past me! The next target is to get up to Uncle Nige's 6'2" height . . . it could possibly happen!
Happy Birthday Jacob - we love you!!
