I looked back at Jackon's hour old pictures from his birth, and I can't believe that I am holding the same baby. Of course he has changed, but when I looked at him that night, I thought there couldn't be anything more beautiful in the world. With everyday that passes, he just keeps getting more handsome. Of course, as his doting mother, I think he's exceptionally cute for a little boy . . . his perfectly round head, his crystal blue eyes, scrumptous cheeks, and a dazzling smile. I'm sure he'll break some hearts down the line.
Isn't it funny though - as a mother when you look back at those birth pictures, that what you thought you saw, isn't REALLY what was captured in those pictures? I swore that he was angelic surrounded by . . . and a picture of complete and absolute beauty. Looking back, he was a purple little guy all swollen, bloody, and traumatized by 3 days of horrendous labor. I think, at the moment of his entering the world, a 3 toed sloth would have looked like the prettiest thing I had ever laid eyes on. What makes a baby so beautiful at that very moment, to any mother, is the fact that you have him in your arms. That he is healthy and a miracle. That your new family surrounds you . . .

He was the most beautiful newborn baby in the world! Perfect round, pink cheeks and mom's blue eyes.
