His Name

Matt and I really put a lot of thought into what to name our little baby boy. There were lots of different criteria that his name had to have. The name's meaning was one of the most important factors that we considered. Jackson means "God is Gracious" and Matthew means "God's Gift". When we put the two names together we knew that his name really describes what he means to us. Thus,

Jackson Matthew means
"God's Gracious Gift"

We truly believe that Jackson Matthew is an amazing blessing from the Lord and are so thankful for him.

I took him to the doctor today for his checkup because he is 2 weeks old tomorrow. The doctor said that he must be eating well because he has almost gained a whole pound since his last appointment a week ago. He now weighs 7 lbs 5 ounces!
