Happy Birthday Mike #HappyBirthdayMike
Carrie Underwood is one proud mom.
The country singer honored her second child Jacob, whom she shares with husband Mike Fisher, on his birthday, calling him, “a special 5 year old,” in an Instagram post on Sunday.
The post features a carousel of images and videos of Jacob on a skate while playing ice hockey on a frozen pond. One image also shows a panda and basketball-themed birthday cake with the child’s name written on it.
“A special birthday for a special 5 year old!!!” Underwood, 40, wrote in the caption. “Our pond was frozen over in perfect condition for a night skate! What a treat!!!”
She continued, “Happy birthday, Jake! I know you wouldn’t have wanted it any other way! #blessed #hockey #12 #HappyBirthday #DudePerfect.”
In addition to Jacob, Underwood also shares her first child Isaiah, 8, with Fisher, 43.
In 2016, the singer opened up about her life after becoming a parent, sharing, “it’s changed me as a person.”
“I’m happier. I’m in a better mood a lot of the time,” she said. “He’ll be watching cartoons and I’ll be watching him. I’m completely in love. I love it when he’s sleepy and I get to hold him and smell him. He doesn’t know I’m staring at him and being all googly-eyed!”
Speaking with People in 2017, Underwood discussed the importance of balancing work and motherhood.
“I remember when we first found out we were gonna have him [Isaiah], it [was] like, ‘How are we gonna do this? Our lives are so crazy as it is,’ ” she said at the time. “But you just make room, and you learn how important that family time is, and to be able to spend time and carve out some of that and maybe get to go on vacation and maybe get to go on a cruise — that stuff is so important to, like I said, make time for family. That’s what it’s all about.”

“Tiny hands and tiny feet…,” she captioned the post. “God has blessed us with an amazing gift! Isaiah Michael Fisher – born on February 27. Welcome to the world, sweet angel!”
During her appearance on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” in 2019, Underwood said her son loved being on tour with her at the age of 4, explaining, “He’s such a people guy. So he’s living the dream.”
By the age of 5, Isaiah made his singing debut after being featured on Underwood’s rendition of “Little Drummer Boy,” one of the tracks from her Christmas album, “Gift.”
Isaiah has a talent in sports. In 2021, Underwood shared that Isaiah made his baseball debut via an Instagram post.
“I got more nervous watching him than I used to get when I watched his daddy play hockey! #ProudMom #KidCanHit ❤️,” she wrote in the caption at the time.
