Top 10 of 2006: #7 Jackson's birth

Over the last 10 days of the year, I will be looking back at my top 10 posts of 2006. Some are included because of my interest in the subject, some because of their popularity with readers, some because I just thought they were well written.

Since our son Jackson was born June 2, I have periodically posted photos and updates. Most of them are basic photo galleries with captions; nothing special about the posts, except that they portray the most wonderful child ever (yes, I'm biased). So while Jackson's birth is undoubtedly the #1 event of the year, if not my life, none of the individual posts are particularly noteworthy, but I've included the first one just the same.

Welcome Home, Jackson

Jackson came home with us from the hospital Sunday afternoon, and we just got back from his first doctor's appointment a few minutes ago. He passed with flying colors and it appears that he is healthy and happy. He has a mild disposition and even let us sleep for three or four hours at a time last night. Here are a few more pictures from the hospital Friday night and Saturday:

Not to overdo the cute thing, but when Kayla and Nana came to visit after we got home from the hospital, Kayla made sure to formally introduce herself. Kayla walked over to Jackson, pointed to her chest and said "I'm Taylor Morning" (that's what she calls herself, she hasn't gotten her name down yet), then pointed at her grandmother and said "This is Nana."
