"My little biscuit". I always loved calling Jarod that! He had what I called "biscuit- cheeks". He was always so precious.

He loved his "Binky" (pacifier) and also, would always sleep like an angel with his hands tucked under his face. He still slept with his hands like this at 6 years old.

Jarod had his "Boo-boo bear" that he still slept with. He had gotten him when he had tubes put in his ears.

Anytime I would take Jarod to see his pediatrician, he would "hide" in the corner between the wall and the exam table. When the doctor would come in, Jarod would start giggling. The doctor would act like he didn't know where Jarod was. Jarod would continue giggling and the doctor would start tossing tongue-depressors into the corner. Jarod would bust-out laughing so hard! This was a game they always played and I loved watching the two of them!

Jarod has always been the center of attention. Everyone has always been "drawn" to him. His love, energy, and personality was contagious. He has always been so full of life!

Every year around Halloween, I would ask Jarod what costume I could make him. One year, he told me " I want to be a toilet-paper monster!" I thought about this for a moment and realized, he meant he wanted to be a mummy!! He has always been so funny-even when he didn't mean to be funny.

Jarod has always been so loving-he would hug people he barely knew! I will forever miss his "Squeeze-Hugs" that he would give me. He always made me feel better! He would put every ounce of energy into his hugs when they were "Squeeze-Hugs".

"Birthday Pancakes" have always been something Jarod has loved! Not only do you get cake on your birthday, but you also, get pancakes with a candle!

Any time we would come across bubble-wrap, the boys would have so much fun dancing on, jumping on-anything to get every last bubble popped. They loved it!!
