Little (big) Jake

I am starting to realize just how small Jake really is (physically). Leah has already outgrown her 0-3 month clothes, which I guess is right on time but seems so fast to me! Jake is wearing some shorts from two summers ago. He just barely switched to size 4 diapers and today I was trying to decide if I should buy size 3 for Leah because her diapers are getting tighter every day. Jake just got out of size 3's about a month ago! And when I measured him on the wall in the same place I measured Kennedy when she turned three, Jake was a full 6 inchs shorter! I feel like Leah is growing right before my eyes. Before I had Jake, I never would have wished to have a child with Down Syndrome, but having Jake stay so small so long has been one of the perks! I got to have my baby stay my baby for so long. He is still such a cuddler and has the best little body to hold-he just melts into you. However, I have to say that just because Jake is small physically definitely doesn't mean he has a small personality. That little boy has more personality and friendliness and just downright man in him that most kids twice his age! He walks around the room like he owns it, and when he leaves preschool each day he throws a great big kiss to all "his people". I think he thinks he's a rock star, and I'm never going to tell him otherwise. Love you little man.
