Jacob you have brought more to our life than autism could ever take away!

It all started around Jacob's first birthday. He still had not said mama or dada. Little did I know because Jacob was our first baby he never really babbled either. I mean he made sounds but not babbling. His doctor was not a wait and see kind of doctor, even though our family kept telling us to wait and see. I can hear my mom still, "you were a late talker". I knew in the deepest pit of my stomach this was different. We started early invention, 4 day a week classroom setting for Jacob and all the therapies. Jacob was diagnosed right after his second birthday. He is the brightest little boy ever, at 3 years old he can read and count to 1000. He thing is letters and numbers, we obsess over them :) He is the light of our life. Jacob we love to watch you grow and learn new things. You amaze us and everyone who meets you, you truly are such a special, kind, and loving little boy. We take this road day by day but I know big thing are in your future. Mommy and Daddy will always be right with you cheering you on!
