This morning Jacob went for eye surgery to open his tear
ducts which have been closed since he was born.
I’m happy to report that both baby and mother handled the procedure like
champs. Although, I must say, it took
his sleepy ass way too long to wake up.. I was freaking out. But when he finally did, he was like a sweet
little angel. He's heavenly and I’m so blessed to have such a healthy and
amazing baby. When we got home I had a
glass of wine which is a for certain nap and I needed some sleep. Jacob walked from one toy to the other while
I laid on the couch watching him with heavy eyes, totally sublime. Before long, he was sleeping on the floor
with toys piled all around him. He’s
never done that before. It’s very
different raising a baby without a partner. I can enjoy some things that I wasn’t
able to enjoy and I’m missing out on some other blisses that are so precious and
important. But the only reason that I’m
so utterly alone is because I’m an orphan.
I don’t have any parents, they died in a firey car crash when I was
about 8 months old. That makes Jacob a
grandorphan on both sides. His dad’s
parents died in a similar manner about 3 or 4 years ago.
Jacob fact #10: He’s the
beautiful part of my everyday.
Jacob still comes to work with me Monday through Friday. 
Jacob's first birthday cake was made by Cake Nouveau. Getting her to make it was like getting accepted into an exclusive club. But who could pass up making an AdventureTime graffiti cake?
Still a monster sometimes..
Visiting with Aunt Randi.
Happy kiddo with lots of new toys:)
